VR11.1 Compatible Synchronous
Rectified Buck MOSFET Drivers
Features
• Dual MOSFET Drives for Synchronous Rectified Bridge
The ISL6622 is a high frequency MOSFET driver designed to
drive upper and lower power N-Channel MOSFETs in a
synchronous rectified buck converter topology. The advanced
PWM protocol of ISL6622 is specifically designed to work
with Intersil VR11.1 controllers and combined with
N-Channel MOSFETs, form a complete core-voltage regulator
solution for advanced microprocessors. When ISL6622
detects a PSI protocol sent by an Intersil VR11.1 controller, it
activates Diode Emulation (DE) and Gate Voltage
Optimization Technology (GVOT) operation; otherwise, it
operates in normal Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
PWM mode.
In the 8 Ld SOIC package, the ISL6622 drives the upper and
lower gates to VCC during normal PWM mode, while the
lower gate drops down to a fixed 5.75V (typically) during PSI
mode. The 10 Ld DFN part offers more flexibility: the upper
gate can be driven from 5V to 12V via the UVCC pin, while the
lower gate has a resistor-selectable drive voltage of 5.75V,
6.75V, and 7.75V (typically) during PSI mode. This provides
the flexibility necessary to optimize applications involving
trade-offs between gate charge and conduction losses.
To further enhance light load efficiency, the ISL6622 enables
diode emulation operation during PSI mode. This allows
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) by detecting when
the inductor current reaches zero and subsequently turning
off the low side MOSFET to prevent it from sinking current.
An advanced adaptive shoot-through protection is integrated
to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs from
conducting simultaneously and to minimize dead time. The
ISL6622 has a 20kΩ integrated high-side gate-to-source
resistor to prevent self turn-on due to high input bus dV/dt.
This driver also has an overvoltage protection feature
operational while VCC is below the POR threshold: the
PHASE node is connected to the gate of the low side
MOSFET (LGATE) via a 10kΩ resistor, limiting the output
voltage of the converter close to the gate threshold of the low
side MOSFET, dependent on the current being shunted,
which provides some protection to the load should the upper
MOSFET(s) become shorted.

Description
Operation and Adaptive Shoot-through Protection
Designed for high speed switching, the ISL6622 MOSFET
driver controls both high-side and low-side N-Channel FETs
from one externally provided PWM signal.
A rising transition on PWM initiates the turn-off of the lower
MOSFET (see Figure 1). After a short propagation delay
[tPDLL], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall time [tFL] is
provided in the “Electrical Specifications” on page 4. Following
a 25ns blanking period, adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the LGATE voltage and turns on the upper gate
following a short delay time [tPDHU] after the LGATE voltage
drops below ~1.75V. The upper gate drive then begins to rise
[tRU] and the upper MOSFET turns on.
A falling transition on PWM indicates 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]. The adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the UGATE-PHASE voltage and turns on the lower
MOSFET a short delay time [tPDHL] after the upper
MOSFET’s PHASE voltage drops below +0.8V or 40ns after
the upper MOSFET’s gate voltage [UGATE-PHASE] drops
below ~1.75V. The lower gate then rises [tRL], turning on the
lower MOSFET. These methods prevent both the lower and
upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously
(shoot-through), while adapting the dead time to the gate
charge characteristics of the MOSFETs being used.
This driver is optimized for voltage regulators with large step
down ratio. The lower MOSFET is usually sized larger
compared to the upper MOSFET because the lower MOSFET
conducts for a longer time during a switching period. The
lower gate driver is therefore sized much larger to meet this
application requirement. The 0.8Ω ON-resistance and 3A sink
current capability enable the lower gate driver to absorb the
current injected into the lower gate through the drain-to-gate
capacitor of the lower MOSFET and help prevent
6
shoot-through caused by the self turn-on of the lower
MOSFET due to high dV/dt of the switching node.
Advanced PWM Protocol (Patent Pending)
The advanced PWM protocol of ISL6622 is specifically
designed to work with Intersil VR11.1 controllers. When
ISL6622 detects a PSI protocol sent by an Intersil VR11.1
controller, it turns on diode emulation and GVOT (described
in next sections) operation; otherwise, it remains in normal
CCM PWM mode.
Another unique feature of ISL6622 and other Intersil drivers
is the addition of a three-state 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 thresholds outlined in the “Electrical
Specifications” on page 4 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.
Note that the LGATE will not turn off until the diode
emulation minimum ON-time of 350ns is expired for a PWM
low to tri-level (2.5V) transition.
Diode Emulation
Diode emulation allows for higher converter efficiency under
light-load situations. With diode emulation active, the
ISL6622 detects the zero current crossing of the output
inductor and turns off LGATE. This prevents the low side
MOSFET from sinking current and ensures that
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is achieved. The
LGATE has a minimum ON-time of 350ns in DCM mode.

ISL6622
The ISL6622 provides the user flexibility in choosing the
gate drive voltage for efficiency optimization. During light
load operation, the switching losses dominate system
performance. Dropping down to a lower drive voltage with
GVOT during light load operation can reduce the switching
losses and maximize system efficiency.
Figure 2 shows that the gate drive voltage optimization is
accomplished via an internal low drop out regulator (LDO)
that regulates the lower gate drive voltage. LVCC is driven to
a lower voltage depending on the state of the internal PSI
signal and the GD_SEL pin impedance. The input and
output of this internal regulator is the VCC and LVCC pins,
respectively. Both VCC and LVCC should be decoupled with
a high quality low ESR ceramic capacitor.

Figure 3 illustrates the internal LDO’s variation with the
average load current plotted over a range of temperatures
spanning from -40°C to +120°C. Should finer tweaking of this
LVCC voltage be necessary, a resistor (RCC) can be used to
shunt the LDO, as shown in Figure 2. The resistor delivers
part of the LGATE drive current, leaving less current going
through the internal LDO, elevating the LDO’s output
voltage. Further reduction in RCC’s value can raise the
LVCC voltage further, as desired.
Figure 4 also details the typical LDO performance when the
pass element is fully enhanced, as it is the case when the
driver operates in CCM.

LVCC VOLTAGE (V)
In the 8 Ld SOIC package, the ISL6622 drives the upper and
lower gates close to VCC during normal PWM mode, while
the lower gate drops down to a fixed 5.75V during PSI mode.
The 10 Ld DFN part offers more flexibility: the upper gate can
be driven from 5V to 12V via the UVCC pin, while the lower
gate has a resistor-selectable drive voltage of 5.75V, 6.75V,
and 7.75V during PSI mode. This provides the flexibility
necessary to optimize applications involving trade-offs
between gate charge and conduction losses. Table 1 shows

Internal Bootstrap Device
The ISL6622 features 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 the voltage
stress on the BOOT to PHASE pins.
The bootstrap capacitor must have a maximum voltage
rating well above the maximum voltage intended for UVCC.
Its minimum capacitance value can be estimated from
Equation 1:

While VCC is below its POR level, the upper gate is held low
and LGATE is connected to the PHASE pin via an internal
10kΩ (typically) resistor. By connecting the PHASE node to
the gate of the low side MOSFET, the driver offers some
passive protection to the load if the upper MOSFET(s) is or
becomes shorted. If the PHASE node goes higher than the
gate threshold of the lower MOSFET, it results in the
progressive turn-on of the device and the effective clamping
of the PHASE node’s rise. The actual PHASE node clamping
level depends on the lower MOSFET’s electrical
characteristics, as well as the characteristics of the input
supply and the path connecting it to the respective PHASE
node.

Power Dissipation
Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the
switching frequency (FSW), the output drive impedance, the
layout resistance, and the selected MOSFET’s internal gate
resistance and total gate charge (QG). Calculating the power
dissipation in the driver for a desired application is critical to
ensure safe operation. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation level may push the IC beyond the maximum
recommended operating junction temperature. The DFN
package is more suitable for high frequency applications. See
“Layout Considerations” on page 9 for thermal impedance
improvement suggestions. The total gate drive power losses
due to the gate charge of MOSFETs and the driver’s internal
circuitry and their corresponding average driver current can
be estimated using Equations 2 and 3, respectively:
P Qg_TOT = P Qg_Q1 + P Qg_Q2 + I Q • VCC

The total gate drive power losses are dissipated among the
resistive components along the transition path, as outlined in
Equation 4. 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 6 and 7 show
the typical upper and lower gate drives turn-on current paths.

Application Information
help minimize such unwanted stress. The following advice is
meant to lead to an optimized layout:
• Keep decoupling loops (LVCC-GND and BOOT-PHASE)
as short as possible.
• Minimize trace inductance, especially low-impedance
lines: all power traces (UGATE, PHASE, LGATE, GND,
LVCC) should be short and wide, as much as possible.
• Minimize the inductance of the PHASE node: ideally, the
source of the upper and the drain of the lower MOSFET
should be as close as thermally allowable.
• Minimize the input current loop: connect the source of the
lower MOSFET to ground as close to the transistor pin as
feasible; input capacitors (especially ceramic decoupling)
should be placed as close to the drain of upper and source
of lower MOSFETs as possible.
In addition, for improved heat dissipation, 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 power ground plane(s) with
thermal vias. This combination of vias for vertical heat
escape, extended surface copper islands, and buried planes
combine to allow the IC and the power switches to achieve
their full thermal potential.
Upper MOSFET Self Turn-On Effect at Start-up
Should the driver have insufficient bias voltage applied, its
outputs are floating. If the input bus is energized at a high
dV/dt rate while the driver outputs are floating, due to
self-coupling via the internal CGD of the MOSFET, the gate
of the upper MOSFET could momentarily rise up to a level
greater than the threshold voltage of the device, potentially
turning on the upper switch. Therefore, if such a situation
could conceivably be encountered, it is a common practice
to place a resistor (RUGPH) across the gate and source of
the upper MOSFET to suppress the Miller coupling effect.
The value of the resistor depends mainly on the input
voltage’s rate of rise, the CGD/CGS ratio, as well as the gatesource threshold of the upper MOSFET. A higher dV/dt, a
lower CDS/CGS ratio, and a lower gate-source threshold
upper FET will require a smaller resistor to diminish the
effect of the internal capacitive coupling. For most
applications, the integrated 20kΩ resistor is sufficient, not
affecting normal performance and efficiency.

Layout Considerations
During switching of the devices, the parasitic inductances of
the PCB and the power devices’ packaging (both upper and
lower MOSFETs) leads to ringing, possibly in excess of the
absolute maximum rating of the devices. Careful layout can

The coupling effect can be roughly estimated with
