LM27222MX

Texas Instruments · Gate Drivers · SOIC-8

LM27222MX from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SW power_in High-side driver return. Connect to the common switch node between the high-side and low-side MOSFETs. Can swing from -2V to 30V (see abs max notes on negative duty cycle).
2 HG output High-side gate drive output. Connect to the high-side MOSFET gate. Internally pulled down to SW with a 10kΩ resistor to prevent spurious turn-on when the driver is off. Peak 3A source / 4.5A sink; 0.9Ω pull-up / 0.4Ω pull-down.
3 CB power_in Bootstrap capacitor input. Provides the boosted supply rail for the high-side driver referenced to SW. CB-to-GND absolute max 36V (operating 33V max); CB-to-SW abs max 7V.
4 IN input PWM input from the controller. Active high. Internally pulled down to GND with a 150kΩ resistor to prevent spurious turn-on when the controller is inactive. Thresholds ~65%/30% of VCC with ~0.7V hysteresis.
5 LEN input Low-side gate enable. Active high; enables synchronous operation of the low-side driver (supports synchronous, non-synchronous, and diode-emulation modes). Internally pulled down to GND with a 150kΩ resistor. Thresholds ~65%/30% of VCC.
6 VCC power_in Bias supply input. Connect to a +5V rail (operating range 4V to 6.85V; abs max 7V). Quiescent current typ 5µA with IN and LEN low.
7 LG output Low-side gate drive output. Connect to the low-side MOSFET gate. Internally pulled down to GND with a 10kΩ resistor to prevent spurious turn-on when the driver is off. Peak 3.2A source / 4.5A sink; 0.9Ω pull-up / 0.4Ω pull-down.
8 GND power_in Device ground. Return for VCC bias and the low-side driver.
