  • Hi

    You can remove LM5113. But, in any cases, you need gate drivers.

  • Dear Eric

  • Hi

    TPS2813 is a dual low-side NMOS driver which cannot be used for half bridge structure. You need  a half-bridge driver like as LM5113.

  • I have a question about the LM5113 (alternative parts capable of much higher frequency), but can't post details publicly. How can I get old fashioned phone support?  This e2e thing made me choose other manufacturers in the past. I'm surprised TI still shields itself from customers. Look at Linear - best support in the industry.

  • Dear Sir

     

    Thanks for your reply~

  • Typically you would contact your local FAE for direct support. Alternately, you can contact me directly at j-tucker(at)ti.com. I can forward your inquiry as I do not directly support any LMxxxx devices.
