SMARTDISCRETES
MLP2N06CL
Motorola Preferred Device

Internally Clamped, Current Limited

NChannel Logic Level Power MOSFET VOLTAGE CLAMPED
The MLP2N06CL is designed for applications that require a rugged power switching CURRENT LIMITING
device with short circuit protection that can be directly interfaced to a microcontrol unit MOSFET
(MCU). Ideal applications include automotive fuel injector driver, incandescent lamp 62 VOLTS (CLAMPED)
driver or other applications where a high inrush current or a shorted load condition could RDS(on) = 0.4 OHMS
occur.
This logic level power MOSFET features current limiting for short circuit protection,
integrated GateSource clamping for ESD protection and integral GateDrain clamping D
for overvoltage protection and Sensefet technology for low onresistance. No additional
gate series resistance is required when interfacing to the output of a MCU, but a 40 k
gate pulldown resistor is recommended to avoid a floating gate condition.
The internal GateSource and GateDrain clamps allow the device to be applied
without use of external transient suppression components. The GateSource clamp
R1
protects the MOSFET input from electrostatic voltage stress up to 2.0 kV. The
G
GateDrain clamp protects the MOSFET drain from the avalanche stress that occurs
with inductive loads. Their unique design provides voltage clamping that is essentially
independent of operating temperature.
The MLP2N06CL is fabricated using Motorolas SMARTDISCRETES technology which R2
combines the advantages of a power MOSFET output device with the onchip protective
circuitry that can be obtained from a standard MOSFET process. This approach offers an
economical means of providing protection to power MOSFETs from harsh automotive and S
industrial environments. SMARTDISCRETES devices are specified over a wide tempera-
ture range from 50C to 150C.

only a small increase in silicon area and/or the addition of one 4

OPERATION IN THE CURRENT LIMIT MODE
The amount of time that an unprotected device can with-
stand the current stress resulting from a shorted load before
its maximum junction temperature is exceeded is dependent
upon a number of factors that include the amount 1.0

some form of current limiting, a shorted load can raise a de-
vices junction temperature beyond the maximum rated oper-
ating temperature in only a few milliseconds. 0.6
Even with no heatsink, the MLP2N06CL can withstand a
shorted load powered by an automotive battery (10 to 14 100C
Volts) for almost a second if its initial operating temperature is 0.4
under 100C. For longer periods of operation in the current 25C
limited mode, device heatsinking can extend operation from 0.2
several seconds to indefinitely depending on the amount of TJ = 50C

The metal current sense resistor R2 adds about 0.4 ohms to

The FBSOA curves define the maximum draintosource When operating in the duty cycle mode, the maximum
voltage and drain current that a device can safely handle drain voltage can be increased. The maximum operating
when it is forward biased, or when it is on, or being turned on. temperature is related to the duty cycle (DC) by the following
Because these curves include the limitations of simultaneous equation:

MAXIMUM DC VOLTAGE CONSIDERATIONS
The maximum draintosource voltage that can be contin- dc

limit is a function of the power that must be dissipated. This 1.0 1 ms
power is determined by the maximum current limit at maxi-

the RDS(on). The maximum voltage can be calculated by the RDS(on) LIMIT

ACTIVE CLAMPING
SMARTDISCRETES technology can provide onchip real-
ization of the popular gatetosource and gatetodrain
Zener diode clamp elements. Until recently, such features
have been implemented only with discrete components
which consume board space and add system cost. The
SMARTDISCRETES technology approach economically
melds these features and the power chip with only a slight
increase in chip area.
In practice, backtoback diode elements are formed in a
polysilicon region monolithicly integrated with, but electrically
isolated from, the main device structure. Each backtoback
diode element provides a temperature compensated voltage
element of about 7.2 volts. As the polysilicon region is
formed on top of silicon dioxide, the diode elements are free
from direct interaction with the conduction regions of the
power device, thus eliminating parasitic electrical effects
while maintaining excellent thermal coupling.
To achieve high gatetodrain clamp voltages, several
voltage elements are strung together; the MLP2N06CL uses
8 such elements. Customarily, two voltage elements are
used to provide a 14.4 volt gatetosource voltage clamp.
For the MLP2N06CL, the integrated gatetosource voltage
elements provide greater than 2.0 kV electrostatic voltage
protection.
The avalanche voltage of the gatetodrain voltage clamp
is set less than that of the power MOSFET device. As soon
as the draintosource voltage exceeds this avalanche volt-
age, the resulting gatetodrain Zener current builds a gate
voltage across the gatetosource impedance, turning on
the power device which then conducts the current. Since vir-
tually all of the current is carried by the power device, the
gatetodrain voltage clamp element may be small in size.
This technique of establishing a temperature compensated
draintosource sustaining voltage (Figure 7) effectively re-
moves the possibility of draintosource avalanche in the
power device.
The gatetodrain voltage clamp technique is particularly
useful for snubbing loads where the inductive energy would
otherwise avalanche the power device. An improvement in
ruggedness of at least four times has been observed when
inductive energy is dissipated in the gatetodrain clamped
conduction mode rather than in the more stressful gateto
source avalanche mode.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: INJECTOR DRIVER, SOLENOIDS, LAMPS, RELAY COILS

The MLP2N06CL has been designed to allow direct inter- VBAT

face to the output of a microcontrol unit to control an isolated
load. No additional series gate resistance is required, but a VDD
40 k gate pulldown resistor is recommended to avoid a
floating gate condition in the event of an MCU failure. The in-
