Maxim MAX15025BATB+T Single/dual, 16ns, high sink/source current gate driver Datasheet

19-1053; Rev 0; 10/07
Single/Dual, 16ns, High Sink/Source
Current Gate Drivers
Features
The MAX15024/MAX15025 single/dual, high-speed
MOSFET gate drivers are capable of operating at frequencies up to 1MHz with large capacitive loads. The
MAX15024 includes internal source-and-sink output
transistors with independent outputs allowing for control
of the external MOSFET’s rise and fall time. The
MAX15024 is a single gate driver capable of sinking an
8A peak current and sourcing a 4A peak current. The
MAX15025 is a dual gate driver capable of sinking a 4A
peak current and sourcing a 2A peak current. An integrated adjustable LDO voltage regulator provides gatedrive amplitude control and optimization.
o 8A Peak Sink Current/4A Peak Source Current
(MAX15024)
The MAX15024A/C and MAX15025A/C/E/G accept transistor-to-transistor (TTL) input logic levels while the
MAX15024B/D and MAX15025B/D/F/H accept CMOSinput logic levels. High sourcing/sinking peak currents, a
low propagation delay, and thermally enhanced packages make the MAX15024/MAX15025 ideal for high-frequency and high-power circuits. The MAX15024/
MAX15025 operate from a 4.5V to 28V supply. A separate output driver supply input enhances flexibility and
permits a soft-start of the power MOSFETs used in synchronous rectifiers.
o Independent Source and Sink Outputs (MAX15024)
The MAX15024/MAX15025 are available in 10-pin
TDFN packages and are specified over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range.
Applications
o 4A Peak Sink Current/2A Peak Source Current
(MAX15025)

MAX15024/MAX15025
Pin Description
MAX15024/MAX15025
Single/Dual, 16ns, High Sink/Source
Current Gate Drivers
Detailed Description
The MAX15024 single gate driver’s internal source and
sink transistor outputs are brought out of the IC to independent outputs allowing control of the external
MOSFET’s rise and fall time. The MAX15024 single
gate driver is capable of sinking an 8A peak current
and sourcing a 4A peak current. The MAX15025 dual
gate drivers are capable of sinking a 4A peak current
and sourcing a 2A peak current.
An integrated adjustable low-dropout linear voltage
regulator (LDO) provides gate drive amplitude control
and optimization. The single gate-driver propagation
delay time is minimized and matched between the
inverting and noninverting inputs. The dual gate-driver
propagation delay is matched between channels.
The MAX15024 has a dual input (IN+ and IN-), allows
the use of an inverting or noninverting input, and is
offered in TTL or CMOS-logic standards. The
MAX15025 is offered with configurations of inverting
and noninverting inputs with TTL or CMOS standards
(see the Selector Guide).
The MAX15024A/B and MAX15025A/B/C/D can be powered using VCC only, whereas the MAX15024C/D and
MAX15025E/F/G/H can be used in two configurations:
• VCC powered only
• VCC, REG, and DRV are connected together
LDO Voltage Regulator Feedback Control
The MAX15024/MAX15025 include an internal LDO
designed to deliver a stable reference voltage for use
as a supply voltage for the internal MOSFET gate drivers. Connect the LDO feedback FB/SET to GND to set
VREG to a stable 10V. Connect FB/SET to a resistordivider between VREG and GND to set VREG:
VREG = VFB/SET x (1 + R2 / R1) (see Figure 2)
VCC Undervoltage Lockout
When VCC is below the UVLO threshold, the internal nchannel transistor is ON and the internal p-channel transistor is OFF, holding the output at GND independent of
the state of the inputs so that the external MOSFETs
remain OFF in the UVLO condition. The UVLO threshold is
3.5V (typ) with 200mV (typ) hysteresis to avoid chattering.
When the device is operated at very low temperatures
and below the UVLO threshold, the driver output could
go high impedance. In this case, it is recommended
adding a 10kΩ resistor to PGND to discharge the gate
of the external MOSFET (see Figures 4 and 5).
10
Input Control
The MAX15024 features inverting and noninverting
input terminals. These inputs provide for flexibility of
design and use. Connect IN+ to VCC when using IN- as
an inverting input. Connect IN- to GND when using IN+
as a noninverting input.
Shoot-Through Protection
The MAX15024/MAX15025 provide protection that
avoids any cross-conduction between the internal pchannel and n-channel devices. It also eliminates shootthrough, thus reducing the quiescent supply current.
Exposed Pad (EP)
The MAX15024/MAX15025 include an exposed pad
allowing greater heat dissipation from the internal die to
the outside environment. Solder the exposed pad carefully to GND or thermal pad to enhance the thermal
performance.
Applications Information
Supply Bypassing, Device Grounding,
and Placement
Ample supply bypassing and device grounding are
extremely important because when large external
capacitive loads are driven, the peak current at the
VDRV pin can approach 4A, while at the PGND pin, the
peak current can approach 8A. V DRV drops and
ground shifts are forms of negative feedback for inverters and, if excessive, can cause multiple switching
when the inverting input is used and the input slew rate
is low. The device driving the input should be referenced to the MAX15024/MAX15025 GND. Ground
shifts due to insufficient device grounding can disturb
other circuits sharing the same AC ground return path.
Any series inductance in the VDRV, OUT_, and/or PGND
paths can cause oscillations due to the very high di/dt
that results when the MAX15024/MAX15025 are
switched with any capacitive load. A 0.1µF or larger
value ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing VDRV to GND and should be placed as close to the
pins as possible. When driving very large loads
(> 10nF) at minimum rise time, 10µF or more of parallel
storage capacitance is recommended. A ground plane
is highly recommended to minimize ground return resistance and series inductance. Care should be taken to
place the MAX15024/MAX15025 as close as possible to
the external MOSFET being driven to further minimize
board inductance and AC path resistance.

Current Gate Drivers
Layout Information
The MAX15024/MAX15025 MOSFET drivers source and
sink large currents to create very fast rise and fall edges
at the gate of the switching MOSFET. The high di/dt can
cause unacceptable ringing if the trace lengths and
impedances are not well controlled. The following
printed-circuit board (PCB) layout guidelines are recommended when designing with the MAX15024/MAX15025:
• Place one or more 1µF decoupling ceramic capacitor(s) from VDRV to PGND as close to the device as
possible. At least one storage capacitor of 10µF (min)
should be located on the PCB with a low resistance
path to the VCC pin of the MAX15024/MAX15025.
• There are two AC current loops formed between the
device and the gate of the MOSFET being driven.
The MOSFET looks like a large capacitance from
gate to source when the gate is being pulled low.
The active current loop is from MOSFET gate to
OUT_ of the MAX15024/MAX15025 to PGND of the
MAX15024/MAX15025, and to the source of the
MOSFET. When the gate of the MOSFET is being
pulled high, the active current loop is from the VDD
terminal of the VDRV terminal of decoupling capacitor, to the VDRV of the MAX15024/MAX15025, to the
OUT_ of the MAX15024/MAX15025, to the MOSFET
gate, to the MOSFET source, and to the negative terminal of the decoupling capacitor. Both charging
current loop and discharging current loop are important. It is important to minimize the physical distance
and the impedance in these AC current paths.
• Keep the device as close as possible to the MOSFET.
• In the multilayer PCB, the inner layers should consist
of a GND plane containing the discharging and
charging current loops.

MAX15024/MAX15025
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation of the MAX15024/MAX15025 consists of three components: the quiescent current,
capacitive charge and discharge of internal nodes, and
the output current (either capacitive or resistive load).
The sum of these components must be kept below the
maximum power-dissipation limit. The quiescent current is 700µA typ. The current required to charge and
discharge the internal nodes is frequency dependent
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics ). The
MAX15024/MAX15025 power dissipation when driving
a ground-referenced resistive load is:
P = D x RON(MAX) x ILOAD2
where D is the fraction of the period the MAX15024/
MAX15025s’ output pulls high, RON(MAX) is the maximum on-resistance of the device with the output high
(p-channel), and ILOAD is the output load current of the
MAX15024/MAX15025. For capacitive loads, the power
dissipation for each driver is:
P = CLOAD x VDRV2 x FREQ
where CLOAD is the capacitive load, VDRV is the driver
supply voltage, and FREQ is the switching frequency.
