Glunggi glungg glungg glungg The HIP4080 is a member of the HIP408X family of High Frequency H-Bridge Driver ICs. A simplified application diagram is shown in Figure 1. The HIP4080 H-Bridge driver IC provides the ability to operate from 8VDC to 80VDC busses for driving N-Channel MOSFET H-Bridges, The HIP4080 packaged in either 20 lead DIP or 20 lead SOIC, provides peak gate current drive of 2.5A. A combination of bootstrap and charge-pumping techniques is used to power the circuitry which drives the upper MOSFETs of the H-Bridge. The bootstrap technique supplies the high instantaneous current needed for turning on the power devices, while the charge pump provides enough current to maintain bias voltage on the upper driver sections and MOSFETs. Since voltages on the upper bias supply pin “float” with the source terminals of the upper power switches, the design of this family provides voltage capability for the upper bias supply terminals to 95VDC
