The LTC
®
1155 dual high side gate driver allows using low
cost N-channel FETs for high side switching applications.
An internal charge pump boosts the gate above the posi-
tive rail, fully enhancing an N-channel MOSFET with no
external components. Micropower operation, with 8µA
standby current and 85µA operating current, allows use in
virtually all systems with maximum efficiency.
Included on-chip is overcurrent sensing to provide auto-
matic shutdown in case of short circuits. A time delay can
be added in series with the current sense to prevent false
triggering on high in-rush loads such as capacitors and
incandescent lamps.
The LTC1155 operates off of a 4.5V to 18V supply input
and safely drives the gates of virtually all FETs. The
LTC1155 is well suited for low voltage (battery-powered)
applications, particularly where micropower “sleep” op-
eration is required.
The LTC1155 is available in both 8-pin PDIP and 8-pin SO
packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Input Pin
The LTC1155 logic input is a high impedance CMOS gate
and should be grounded when not in use. These input pins
have ESD protection diodes to ground and supply and,
therefore, should not be forced beyond the power supply
rails.
Gate Drive Pin
The gate drive pin is either driven to ground when the
switch is turned OFF or driven above the supply rail when
the switch is turned ON. This pin is a relatively high
impedance when driven above the rail (the equivalent of a
few hundred kΩ). Care should be taken to minimize any
loading of this pin by parasitic resistance to ground or
supply.
Supply Pin
The supply pin of the LTC1155 serves two vital purposes.
The first is obvious: it powers the input, gate drive,
regulation and protection circuitry. The second purpose is
less obvious: it provides a Kelvin connection to the top of
the two drain sense resistors for the internal 100mV
reference. The supply pin should be connected directly to
the power supply source as close as possible to the top of
the two sense resistors.

PIN FUNCTIONS
The supply pin of the LTC1155 should not be forced below
ground as this may result in permanent damage to the
device. A 300Ω resistor should be inserted in series with
the ground pin if negative supply voltages are anticipated.
Drain Sense Pin
As noted previously, the drain sense pin is compared
against the supply pin voltage. If the voltage at this pin is
more than 100mV below the supply pin, the input latch will
be reset and the MOSFET gate will be quickly discharged.
Cycle the input to reset the short-circuit latch and turn the
MOSFET back on.
This pin is also a high impedance CMOS gate with ESD
protection and, therefore, should not be forced beyond the
power supply rails. To defeat the over current protection,
short the drain sense to supply.
Some loads, such as large supply capacitors, lamps or
motors require high inrush currents. An RC time delay
must be added between the sense resistor and the drain
sense pin to ensure that the drain sense circuitry does not
false trigger during start-up. This time constant can be set
from a few microseconds to many seconds. However, very
long delays may put the MOSFET in risk of being destroyed
by a short-circuit condition (see Applications Information
section).

OPERATIO
The LTC1155 contains two independent power MOSFET
gate drivers and protection circuits (refer to the Block
Diagram for details). Each half of the LTC1155 consists of
the following functional blocks:
TTL and CMOS Compatible Inputs
Each driver input has been designed to accommodate a
wide range of logic families. The input threshold is set at
1.3V with approximately 100mV of hysteresis.
A voltage regulator with low standby current provides
continuous bias for the TTL to CMOS converters. The TTL

to CMOS converter output enables the rest of the circuitry.
In this way the power consumption is kept to a minimum
in the standby mode.
Internal Voltage Regulation
The output of the TTL to CMOS converter drives two
regulated supplies which power the low voltage CMOS
logic and analog blocks. The regulator outputs are isolated
from each other so that the noise generated by the charge
pump logic is not coupled into the 100mV reference or the
analog comparator.
