3 Description

The LM2101 is a compact, high-voltage gate driver

designed to drive both the high-side and the low-side

N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck or a halfbridge

configuration.

The –1-V DC and –19.5-V transient negative

voltage handling on the SH pin improve the system

robustness in high noise applications. The small,

thermally-enhanced 8-pin WSON package improves

PCB layout by allowing the driver to be placed closer

to the motor phases. The LM2101 is also available

in an 8-pin SOIC package compatible with industry

standard pinouts. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is

provided on both the low-side and the high-side power

rails for protection during power up and power down.
