Operation Modes and Avoiding Potential Application Issues This section discusses three operation condition: normal, missing output, and abnormal.

Evaluation Circuit for HVIC Gate Driver IC Latch-on can result in keeping the status of output HIGH even if input is LOW. This condition leads to shoot-through when HO and LO are turned on at the same time. This failure mode is the worst case and is discussed in the “Abnormal Output Operating Condition” section. 2.1. Normal Output Operating Condition As shown in Figure 4, the SET and RESET pulse is generated from the pulse generator according to input edge because the power dissipation of R1 and R2 should be large in case VB is 600 V. That is why short pulse SET and RESET is used to reduce power consumption and power dissipation and size of R1 and R2.

Normal Operating Simulation Result The set and reset signal is delivered to set and reset latch (control latch) circuit through the level-shifter circuit between the low-voltage circuit and high-voltage circuit. The control latch circuit keeps output status according to the SET and RESET pulse signal. The control latch circuit turns the output circuit on and off and output is generated. That complex circuit creates the propagation delay between input and output. 2.2. Missing Output Operating Condition Missing output means HO is not generated even though input signal is provided to HIN. Although the pulse generator generates both SET and RESET pulses according to input signal, the reconstructed signal by control latch circuit is too short and is filtered by parasitic RC filter in RRS latch output circuit. The control latch output signal is not delivered to the next driver circuit, shown in Figure 5. IN SET RESET Short input pulse Q No output!!

Missing Output Operating Simulation Result Missing output range is from 30 ns to 50 ns at 25°C. With temperature increasing, the missing output range is shifted up to around 58 ns, as shown in Figure 7. The short pulse width, where the missing-operation condition occurs, is also shifted according to temperature, as shown in Figure 7. The output is LOW when input pulse width between 39 ns and 58 ns is provided to input pin. Figure 6.
