Industry-Standard Pin-out with Enable Input
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 MOSFET drivers are
designed to drive N-channel enhancement MOSFETs in
low-side switching applications by providing high peak
current pulses. The drivers are available with either TTL
input thresholds (FAN312xT) or VDD-proportional CMOS
input thresholds (FAN312xC). Internal circuitry provides
an under-voltage lockout function by holding the output
low until the supply voltage is within the operating range.

Synchronous Rectifier Circuits
FAN312x drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™
architecture for the final output stage. This bipolar /
MOSFET combination provides the highest peak current
during the Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET turn-on /
turn-off process.
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 drivers implement an
enable function on pin 3 (EN), previously unused in the
industry-standard pin-out. The pin is internally pulled up
to VDD for active HIGH logic and can be left open for
standard operation.
The commercial FAN3121/22 is available in a 3x3 mm
8-lead thermally-enhanced MLP package or an 8-lead
SOIC package. The AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified
versions are available in the 8-lead SOIC package.

FAN3121 / FAN3122 — Single 9-A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
Typical Performance Characteristics
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 family offers versions in
either TTL or CMOS input configuration. In the
FAN3121T and FAN3122T, the input thresholds meet
industry-standard TTL-logic thresholds independent of
the VDD voltage, and there is a hysteresis voltage of
approximately 0.7 V. These levels permit the inputs to
be driven from a range of input logic signal levels for
which a voltage over 2 V is considered logic HIGH. The
driving signal for the TTL inputs should have fast rising
and falling edges with a slew rate of 6V/µs or faster, so
the rise time from 0 to 3.3 V should be 550 ns or less.
For applications with zero voltage switching during the
MOSFET turn-on or turn-off interval, the driver supplies
high peak current for fast switching, even though the
Miller plateau is not present. This situation often occurs
in synchronous rectifier applications because the body
diode is generally conducting before the MOSFET is
switched on.
The output pin slew rate is determined by VDD voltage
and the load on the output. It is not user adjustable, but
a series resistor can be added if a slower rise or fall time
at the MOSFET gate is needed.
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 output can be enabled or
disabled using the EN pin with a very rapid response
time. If EN is not externally connected, an internal pullup resistor enables the driver by default. The EN pin has
logic thresholds for parts with either TTL or CMOS IN
thresholds.
In the FAN3121C and FAN3122C, the logic input
thresholds are dependent on the VDD level and, with VDD
of 12 V, the logic rising edge threshold is approximately
55% of VDD and the input falling edge threshold is
approximately 38% of VDD. The CMOS input
configuration
offers
a
hysteresis
voltage
of
approximately 17% of VDD. The CMOS inputs can be
used with relatively slow edges (approaching DC) if
good decoupling and bypass techniques are
incorporated in the system design to prevent noise from
violating the input voltage hysteresis window. This
allows setting precise timing intervals by fitting an R-C
circuit between the controlling signal and the IN pin of
the driver. The slow rising edge at the IN pin of the
driver introduces a delay between the controlling signal
and the OUT pin of the driver.
Static Supply Current
In the IDD (static) Typical Performance Characteristics,
the curves are produced with all inputs / enables floating
(OUT is LOW) and indicates the lowest static IDD current
for the tested configuration. For other states, additional
current flows through the 100 k resistors on the inputs
and outputs, as shown in the block diagram (see Figure
7). In these cases, the actual static IDD current is the
value obtained from the curves, plus this additional
current.
MillerDrive™ Gate-Drive Technology
FAN312x gate drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™
architecture shown in Figure 46. For the output stage, a
combination of bipolar and MOS devices provide large
currents over a wide range of supply voltage and
temperature variations. The bipolar devices carry the
bulk of the current as OUT swings between 1/3 to 2/3
VDD and the MOS devices pull the output to the HIGH or
LOW rail.
The purpose of the Miller Drive™ architecture is to
speed up switching by providing high current during the
Miller plateau region when the gate-drain capacitance of
the MOSFET is being charged or discharged as part of
the turn-on / turn-off process.

Figure 46. Miller Drive™ Output Architecture
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The FAN312x startup logic is optimized to drive groundreferenced N-channel MOSFETs with an under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) function to ensure that the IC starts in
an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet below the
4.0 V operational level, this circuit holds the output low,
regardless of the status of the input pins. After the part
is active, the supply voltage must drop 0.25 V before the
part shuts down. This hysteresis helps prevent chatter
when low VDD supply voltages have noise from the
power switching. This configuration is not suitable for
driving high-side P-channel MOSFETs because the low
output voltage of the driver would turn the P-channel
MOSFET on with VDD below 4.0 V.
VDD Bypassing and Layout Considerations
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 are available in either
8-lead SOIC or MLP packages. In either package, the
VDD pins 1 and 8 and the GND pins 4 and 5 should be
connected together on the PCB.
In typical FAN312x gate-driver applications, high-current
pulses are needed to charge and discharge the gate of
a power MOSFET in time intervals of 50 ns or less. A
bypass capacitor with low ESR and ESL should be
connected directly between the VDD and GND pins to
provide these large current pulses without causing
unacceptable ripple on the VDD supply. To meet these
requirements in a small size, a ceramic capacitor of 1 µF
or larger is typically used, with a dielectric material such
as X7R, to limit the change in capacitance over the
temperature and / or voltage application ranges.

driver turns the MOSFET off. Ideally, the driver shunts the
current directly to the source of the MOSFET in a small
circuit loop. For fast turn-off times, the resistance and
inductance in this path should be minimized.

At power up, the FAN3122 non-inverting driver, shown

FAN3121 / FAN3122 — Single 9-A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
Figure 47 shows the pulsed gate drive current path
when the gate driver is supplying gate charge to turn the
MOSFET on. The current is supplied from the local
bypass capacitor CBYP and flows through the driver to
the MOSFET gate and to ground. To reach the high
peak currents possible with the FAN312x family, the
resistance and inductance in the path should be
minimized. The localized CBYP acts to contain the high
peak current pulses within this driver-MOSFET circuit,
preventing them from disturbing the sensitive analog
circuitry in the PWM controller.
Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at
high frequencies can dissipate significant amounts of
power. It is important to determine the driver power
dissipation and the resulting junction temperature in the
application to ensure that the part is operating within
acceptable temperature limits.
The total power dissipation in a gate driver is the sum of
two components, PGATE and PDYNAMIC:
PTOTAL = PGATE + PDYNAMIC
(2)
Dynamic Pre-drive / Shoot-through Current: A
power loss resulting from internal current
consumption under dynamic operating conditions,
including pin pull-up / pull-down resistors, can be
obtained using the “IDD (No-Load) vs. Frequency”
graphs in Typical Performance Characteristics to
determine the current IDYNAMIC drawn from VDD
under actual operating conditions:
PDYNAMIC = IDYNAMIC • VDD
(3)
Once the power dissipated in the driver is determined,
the driver junction rise with respect to circuit board can
be evaluated using the following thermal equation,
assuming JB was determined for a similar thermal
design (heat sinking and air flow):
TJ
= PTOTAL • JB + TB
(4)
where:
TJ = driver junction temperature;
JB = (psi) thermal characterization parameter relating
temperature rise to total power dissipation; and

In a full-bridge synchronous rectifier application, shown
in Figure 53, each FAN3122 drives a parallel
combination of two high-current MOSFETs, (such as
FDMS8660S). The typical gate charge for each SR
MOSFET is 70 nC with VGS = VDD = 9V. At a switching
frequency of 300 kHz, the total power dissipation is:
(1)
Gate Driving Loss: The most significant power loss
results from supplying gate current (charge per unit
time) to switch the load MOSFET on and off at the
switching frequency. The power dissipation that
results from driving a MOSFET at a specified gatesource voltage, VGS, with gate charge, QG, at
switching frequency, fSW , is determined by:
PGATE = QG • VGS • fSW
TB = board temperature in location as defined in
the Thermal Characteristics table.
PGATE = 2 • 70 nC • 9V • 300 kHz = 0.378 W
(5)
PDYNAMIC = 2 mA • 9 V = 18 mW
(6)
PTOTAL = 0.396 W
(7)
The SOIC-8 has a junction-to-board thermal
characterization parameter of JB = 42°C/W. In a system
application, the localized temperature around the device
is a function of the layout and construction of the PCB
along with airflow across the surfaces. To ensure
reliable operation, the maximum junction temperature of
the device must be prevented from exceeding the
maximum rating of 150°C; with 80% derating, TJ would
be limited to 120°C. Rearranging Equation 4 determines
the board temperature required to maintain the junction
temperature below 120°C:
TB,MAX = TJ - PTOTAL • JB
(8)
TB,MAX = 120°C – 0.396 W • 42°C/W = 104°C
(9)
For comparison, replace the SOIC-8 used in the
previous example with the 3x3 mm MLP package with
JB = 2.8°C/W. The 3x3 mm MLP package can operate
at a PCB temperature of 118°C, while maintaining the
junction temperature below 120°C. This illustrates that
the physically smaller MLP package with thermal pad
offers a more conductive path to remove the heat from
the driver. Consider tradeoffs between reducing overall
circuit size with junction temperature reduction for
increased reliability.
