Advanced Synchronous Rectified Buck
MOSFET Drivers with Pre-POR OVP
The ISL6612B and ISL6613B are high frequency MOSFET
drivers specifically designed to drive upper and lower power
N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck
converter topology. These drivers combined with HIP63xx or
ISL65xx Multi-Phase Buck PWM controllers and N-Channel
MOSFETs form complete core-voltage regulator solutions for
advanced microprocessors.
The ISL6612B drives the upper gate to above rising VCC
POR (7V), while the lower gate can be independently driven
over a range from 5V to 12V. The ISL6613B drives both
upper and lower gates over a range of 5V to 12V. This drivevoltage provides the flexibility necessary to optimize
applications involving trade-offs between gate charge and
conduction losses. These drivers are optimized for POL
DC/DC Converters for IBA Systems.

• 36V Internal Bootstrap Schottky Diode
• Bootstrap Capacitor Overcharging Prevention
• Supports High Switching Frequency (up to 2MHz)
- 3A Sinking Current Capability
- Fast Rise/Fall Times and Low Propagation Delays
• Three-State PWM Input for Output Stage Shutdown
An advanced adaptive zero shoot-through protection is
integrated to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs
from conducting simultaneously and to minimize the dead
time. These products add an overvoltage protection feature
operational before VCC exceeds its turn-on threshold, at
which the PHASE node is connected to the gate of the low
side MOSFET (LGATE). The output voltage of the converter
is then limited by the threshold of the low side MOSFET,
which provides some protection to the microprocessor if the
upper MOSFET(s) is shorted during initial start-up.
• Three-State PWM Input Hysteresis for Applications With
Power Sequencing Requirement
These drivers also feature a three-state PWM input which,
working together with Intersil’s multi-phase PWM controllers,
prevents a negative transient on the output voltage when the
output is shut down. This feature eliminates the Schottky
diode that is used in some systems for protecting the load
from reversed output voltage events.

FIGURE 1. TIMING DIAGRAM
Operation
Designed for versatility and speed, the ISL6612B and
ISL6613B MOSFET drivers control both high-side and low-side
N-Channel FETs of a half-bridge power train from one
externally provided PWM signal.
Prior to VCC exceeding its POR level, the Pre-POR overvoltage protection function is activated during initial start-up; the
upper gate (UGATE) is held low and the lower gate (LGATE),
controlled by the Pre-POR overvoltage protection circuits, is
connected to the PHASE. Once the VCC voltage surpasses the
VCC Rising Threshold (See Electrical Specifications), the PWM
signal takes control of gate transitions. A rising edge on PWM
initiates the turn-off of the lower MOSFET (see Timing
Diagram). After a short propagation delay [tPDLL], the lower
gate begins to fall. Typical fall times [tFL] are provided in the
Electrical Specifications section. Adaptive shoot-through
circuitry monitors the PHASE voltage and determines the upper
gate delay time [tPDHU]. This prevents both the lower and
upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously. Once this
delay period is complete, the upper gate drive begins to rise
[tRU] and the upper MOSFET turns on.
A falling transition on PWM results in the turn-off of the upper
MOSFET and the turn-on of the lower MOSFET. A short
propagation delay [tPDLU] is encountered before the upper
gate begins to fall [tFU]. Again, the adaptive shoot-through
circuitry determines the lower gate delay time, tPDHL. The
PHASE voltage and the UGATE voltage are monitored, and
the lower gate is allowed to rise after PHASE drops below a
level or the voltage of UGATE to PHASE reaches a level
depending upon the current direction (See next section for
details). The lower gate then rises [tRL], turning on the lower
MOSFET.

Advanced Adaptive Zero Shoot-Through Deadtime
Control (Patent Pending)
These drivers incorporate a unique adaptive deadtime control
technique to minimize deadtime, resulting in high efficiency
from the reduced freewheeling time of the lower MOSFETs’
body-diode conduction, and to prevent the upper and lower
MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously. This is
accomplished by ensuring either rising gate turns on its
MOSFET with minimum and sufficient delay after the other has
turned off.
During turn-off of the lower MOSFET, the PHASE voltage is
monitored until it reaches a -0.2V/+0.8V trip point for a
forward/reverse current, at which time the UGATE is released
to rise. An auto-zero comparator is used to correct the rDS(ON)
drop in the phase voltage preventing from false detection of the
-0.2V phase level during rDS(ON conduction period. In the case
of zero current, the UGATE is released after 35ns delay of the
LGATE dropping below 0.5V. During the phase detection, the
disturbance of LGATE’s falling transition on the PHASE node is
blanked out to prevent falsely tripping. Once the PHASE is
high, the advanced adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors
the PHASE and UGATE voltages during a PWM falling edge
and the subsequent UGATE turn-off. If either the UGATE falls
to less than 1.75V above the PHASE or the PHASE falls to less
than +0.8V, the LGATE is released to turn on.
Three-State PWM Input
A unique feature of these drivers and other Intersil drivers is
the addition of a shutdown window to the PWM input. If the
PWM signal enters and remains within the shutdown window
for a set holdoff time, the driver outputs are disabled and
both MOSFET gates are pulled and held low. The shutdown
state is removed when the PWM signal moves outside the
shutdown window. Otherwise, the PWM rising and falling
determine when the lower and upper gates are enabled.

This feature helps prevent a negative transient on the output
voltage when the output is shut down, eliminating the
Schottky diode that is used in some systems for protecting
the load from reversed output voltage events.
In addition, more than 400mV hysteresis also incorporates
into the three-state shutdown window to eliminate PWM
input oscillations due to the capacitive load seen by the
PWM input through the body diode of the controller’s PWM
output when the power-up and/or power-down sequence of
bias supplies of the driver and PWM controller are required.
As an example, suppose two IRLR7821 FETs are chosen as
the upper MOSFETs. The gate charge, QG, from the data
sheet is 10nC at 4.5V (VGS) gate-source voltage. Then the
QGATE is calculated to be 53nC for UVCC (i.e. PVCC in
ISL6613B, VCC in ISL6612B) =12V. We will assume a
200mV droop in drive voltage over the PWM cycle. We find
that a bootstrap capacitance of at least 0.267µF is required.

During initial start-up, the VCC voltage rise is monitored.
Once the rising VCC voltage exceeds 6.9V (typically),
operation of the driver is enabled and the PWM input signal
takes control of the gate drives. If VCC drops below the
falling threshold of 5.6V (typically), operation of the driver is
disabled.

Pre-POR Overvoltage Protection
50nC
Prior to VCC exceeding its POR level, the upper gate is held
low and the lower gate is controlled by the overvoltage
protection circuits during initial startup. The PHASE is
connected to the gate of the low side MOSFET (LGATE),
which provides some protection to the microprocessor if the
upper MOSFET(s) is shorted during initial start-up. For
complete protection, the low side MOSFET should have a
gate threshold well below the maximum voltage rating of the
load/microprocessor.
When VCC drops below its POR level, both gates pull low
and the Pre-POR overvoltage protection circuits are not
activated until VCC resets.
Internal Bootstrap Device
Both drivers feature an internal bootstrap schottky diode.
Simply adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and
PHASE pins completes the bootstrap circuit. The bootstrap
function is also designed to prevent the bootstrap capacitor
from overcharging due to the large negative swing at the
trailing-edge of the PHASE node. This reduces voltage
stress on the boot to phase pins.
The bootstrap capacitor must have a maximum voltage
rating above UVCC + 5V and its capacitance value can be
chosen from the following equation:
Q GATE
C BOOT_CAP ≥ -------------------------------------∆V BOOT_CAP
(EQ. 1)
Q G1 • UVCC
Q GATE = ------------------------------------ • N Q1
V GS1
where QG1 is the amount of gate charge per upper MOSFET
at VGS1 gate-source voltage and NQ1 is the number of
control MOSFETs. The ∆VBOOT_CAP term is defined as the
allowable droop in the rail of the upper gate drive.

Gate Drive Voltage Versatility
The ISL6612B and ISL6613B provide the user flexibility in
choosing the gate drive voltage for efficiency optimization.
The ISL6612B upper gate drive can be driven above VCC
rising POR (7V) to 12V, but the lower drive rail can range
from 12V down to 5V depending on what voltage is applied
to PVCC. The ISL6613B ties the upper and lower drive rails
together. Simply applying a voltage from 5V up to 12V on
PVCC sets both gate drive rail voltages simultaneously.
Power Dissipation
Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the
switching frequency (FSW), the output drive impedance, the
external gate resistance, and the selected MOSFET’s
internal gate resistance and total gate charge. Calculating
the power dissipation in the driver for a desired application is
critical to ensure safe operation. Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation level will push the IC beyond the
maximum recommended operating junction temperature of
125°C. The maximum allowable IC power dissipation for the
SO8 package is approximately 800mW at room temperature,
while the power dissipation capacity in the EPSOIC and DFN
packages, with an exposed heat escape pad, is more than
2W and 1.5W, respectively. Both EPSOIC and DFN
packages are more suitable for high frequency applications.
See Layout Considerations paragraph for thermal transfer
improvement suggestions. When designing the driver into an
application, it is recommended that the following calculation
is used to ensure safe operation at the desired frequency for

where the gate charge (QG1 and QG2) is defined at a
particular gate to source voltage (VGS1and VGS2) in the

quiescent current with no load at both drive outputs; NQ1
and NQ2 are the number of upper and lower MOSFETs,
respectively; UVCC and LVCC are the drive voltages for
both upper and lower FETs, respectively. The IQ*VCC
product is the quiescent power of the driver without
capacitive load and is typically 116mW at 300kHz.
The total gate drive power losses are dissipated among the
resistive components along the transition path. The drive
resistance dissipates a portion of the total gate drive power
losses, the rest will be dissipated by the external gate
resistors (RG1 and RG2) and the internal gate resistors
(RGI1 and RGI2) of MOSFETs. Figures 3 and 4 show the
typical upper and lower gate drives turn-on transition path.

Layout Considerations
For heat spreading, place copper underneath the IC whether
it has an exposed pad or not. The copper area can be
extended beyond the bottom area of the IC and/or
connected to buried copper plane(s) with thermal vias. This
combination of vias for vertical heat escape, extended
copper plane, and buried planes for heat spreading allows
the IC to achieve its full thermal potential.
Place each channel power component as close to each
other as possible to reduce PCB copper losses and PCB
parasitics: shortest distance between DRAINs of upper FETs
and SOURCEs of lower FETs; shortest distance between
DRAINs of lower FETs and the power ground. Thus, smaller
amplitudes of positive and negative ringing are on the
switching edges of the PHASE node. However, some space
in between the power components is required for good
airflow. The traces from the drivers to the FETs should be
kept short and wide to reduce the inductance of the traces
and to promote clean drive signals.
