Thermal Guidelines
Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at
high frequencies can dissipate significant amounts of
power. It is important to determine the driver power
dissipation and the resulting junction temperature in the
application to ensure that the part is operating within
acceptable temperature limits.
The total power dissipation in a gate driver is the sum of
two components, P
Once the power dissipated in the driver is determined,
the driver junction rise with respect to circuit board can
be evaluated using the following thermal equation,
assuming
design (heat sinking and air flow):
T

Gate Driving Loss: The most significant power loss
results from supplying gate current (charge per unit
time) to switch the load MOSFET on and off at the
switching frequency. The power dissipation that
results from driving a MOSFET at a specified gate-
source voltage, V
switching frequency, F
P
n is the number of driver channels in use (1 or 2).

total power dissipation is:
The
characterization parameter of
system application, the localized temperature around
the device is a function of the layout and construction of
the PCB along with airflow across the surfaces. To
ensure reliable operation, the maximum junction
temperature of the device must be prevented from
exceeding the maximum rating of 150°C; with 80%
derating, T
Equation 4 determines the board temperature required
to maintain the junction temperature below 120°C:
For comparison, replace the SOIC-8 used in the
previous example with the 3x3mm MLP package with
at a PCB temperature of 118°C, while maintaining the
junction temperature below 120°C. This illustrates that
the physically smaller MLP package with thermal pad
offers a more conductive path to remove the heat from
the driver. Consider tradeoffs between reducing overall
circuit size with junction temperature reduction for
increased reliability.
