The LM5106 has an absolute maximum VDD rating of 18V, but the recommended range is 8V to 14V. Is it safe to operate this part from a 15V supply (which could go as high as 15.75V), with a maximum voltage on HS of 40V?
It is interesting to note that a similar Intersil gate driver, ISL89401, has similar voltage recommendations, but its datasheet includes a graph showing the need to reduce the allowable voltage on HS as a function of VDD, when VDD exceeds the recommended 14V maximum.
Thanks,
