MP18021A―100V, 2.5A, HIGH FREQUENCY HALF-BRIDGE GATE DRIVER
APPLICATION
The input signals of INH and INL can be
controlled independently. If both INH and INL are
controlling HSFET and LSFET of the same
bridge, then users must avoid shoot through by
setting sufficient dead time between INH and INL
low, and vice versa. See below figure. Dead time
is defined as the time internal between INH low
and INL low.
