FDMF6704 The Xtra Small, High Performance, High Frequency DrMOS Module
Electrical Characteristics
Adaptive Gate Drive Circuit
Circuit Description
The driver IC embodies an advanced design that ensures
minimum MOSFET dead-time while eliminating potential
shoot-through (cross-conduction) currents. It senses the state of
the MOSFETs and adjusts the gate drive, adaptively, to ensure
they do not conduct simultaneously. Refer to Figure 4 for the
relevant timing waveforms.
The FDMF6704 is a driver plus FET module optimized for
synchronous buck converter topology. A single PWM input
signal is all that is required to properly drive the high-side and
the low-side MOSFETs. Each part is capable of driving speeds
up to 1 MHz.
To prevent overlap during the low-to-high switching transition
(Q2 OFF to Q1 ON), the adaptive circuitry monitors the voltage
at the GL pin. When the PWM signal goes HIGH, Q2 will begin
to turn OFF after some propagation delay (tPDLL). Once the GL
pin is discharged below 1 V, Q1 begins to turn ON after adaptive
delay tDTHH.
PWM
When the PWM input goes high, the high side MOSFET turns
on. When it goes low, the low side MOSFET turns on. When it is
open, both the low side and high side MOFET will turn off.
The DISB# input is combined with the PWM signal to control the
driver output. In a typical multiphase design, DISB# will be a
shared signal used to turn on all phases. The individual PWM
signals from the controller will be used to dynamically enable or
disable individual phases.
To preclude overlap during the high-to-low transition (Q1 OFF to
Q2 ON), the adaptive circuitry monitors the voltage at the
VSWH pin. When the PWM signal goes LOW, Q1 will begin to
turn OFF after some propagation delay (tPDHL). Once the
VSWH pin falls below 1 V, Q2 begins to turn ON after adaptive
delay tDTLH.
Low-Side Driver
Additionally, VGS of Q1 is monitored. When VGS(Q1) is
discharged low, a secondary adaptive delay is initiated, which
results in Q2 being driven ON after 250 ns, regardless of VSWH
state. This function is implemented to ensure CBOOT is
recharged each switching cycle, particularly for cases where the
power convertor is sinking current and VSWH voltage does not
fall below the 1 V adaptive threshold. The 250 ns secondary
delay is longer than tDTLH.
The low-side driver (GL) is designed to drive a ground
referenced low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET. The bias for GL is
internally connected between VDRV and CGND. When the
driver is enabled, the driver's output is 180° out of phase with
the PWM input. When the driver is disabled (DISB# = 0 V), GL
is held low.
High-Side Driver
The high-side driver (GH) is designed to drive a floating
N-channel MOSFET. The bias voltage for the high-side driver is
developed by a bootstrap supply circuit, consisting of the
internal diode and external bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). During
start-up, VSWH is held at PGND, allowing CBOOT to charge to
VDRV through the internal diode. When the PWM input goes
high, GH will begin to charge the high-side MOSFET's gate
(Q1). During this transition, charge is removed from CBOOT and
delivered to Q1's gate. As Q1 turns on, VSWH rises to VIN,
forcing the BOOT pin to VIN +VC(BOOT), which provides
sufficient VGS enhancement for Q1. To complete the switching
cycle, Q1 is turned off by pulling GH to VSWH. CBOOT is then
recharged to VDRV when VSWH falls to PGND. GH output is in
phase with the PWM input. When the driver is disabled, the
high-side gate is held low.
SMOD
The SMOD (Skip Mode) function allows for higher converter
efficiency under light load conditions. During SMOD, the LS
FET is disabled and it prevents discharging of output caps.
When the SMOD# pin is pulled high, the sync buck converter
will work in synchronous mode. When the SMOD# pin is pulled
low, the LS FET is turned off. The SMOD function does not have
internal current sensing. This SMOD# pin is connected to a
PWM controller which enables or disables the SMOD
automatically when the controller detects light load condition.
Normally this pin is Active Low.

FDMF6704 The Xtra Small, High Performance, High Frequency DrMOS Module
Typical Characteristics
Supply Capacitor Selection
VCIN Filter
For the supply input (VCIN) of the FDMF6704, a local ceramic
bypass capacitor is recommended to reduce the noise and to
supply the peak current. Use at least a 1 F, X7R or X5R
capacitor. Keep this capacitor close to the FDMF6704 VCIN and
PGND pins.
The VDRV pin provides power to the gate drive of the high side
and low side power FET. In most cases, it can be connected
directly to VCIN, the pin that provides power to the logic section
of the driver. For additional noise immunity, an RC filter can be
inserted between VDRV and VCIN. Recommended values
would be 10 Ohms and 1 F.
Bootstrap Circuit
The bootstrap circuit uses a charge storage capacitor (CBOOT),
as shown in Figure 23. A bootstrap capacitance of 100nF, X7R
or X5R capacitor is adequate. A series bootstrap resistor would
be needed for specific application in order to improve switching
noise immunity

close as possible to the VCIN and BOOT pins of the
FDMF6704 to ensure clean and stable power. Routing width
and length should be considered as well.

6. Include a trace from PHASE to VSWH in order to improve
noise margin. Keep trace as short as possible.
7. The layout should include the option to insert a small value
series boot resistor between boot cap and BOOT pin. The boot
loop size, including RBOOT and CBOOT, should be as small as
possible. The boot resistor is normally not required, but is
effective at improving noise operating margin in multi phase
designs that may have noise issues due to ground bounce and
high negative VSWH ringing. The VIN and PGND pins handle
large current transients with frequency components above
100 MHz. If possible, these package pins should be connected
directly to the VIN and board GND planes. The use of thermal
relief traces in series with these pins is discouraged since this
will add inductance to the power path. This added inductance in
series with the PGND pin will degrade system noise immunity
by increasing negative VSWH ringing.
PCB Layout Guideline
Figure 25 shows a proper layout example of FDMF6704 and
critical parts. All of high current flow path, such as VIN, VSWH,
VOUT and GND copper, should be short and wide for better and
stable current flow, heat radiation and system performance.
Following is a guideline which the PCB designer should
consider:
1. Input ceramic bypass capacitors must be close to VIN and
PGND pin of FDMF6704 to help reduce the input current ripple
component induced by switching operation.
8. CGND pad and PGND pins should be connected by plane
GND copper with multiple vias for stable grounding. Poor
grounding can create a noise transient offset voltage level
between CGND and PGND. This could lead to fault operation of
gate driver and MOSFET.
2. The VSWH copper trace serves two purposes. In addition to
being the high frequency current path from the DrMOS package
to the output inductor, it also serves as heatsink for the lower
FET in the DrMOS package. The trace should be short and wide
enough to present a low impedance path for the high frequency,
high current flow between the DrMOS and inductor in order to
minimize losses and temperature rise. Please note that the
VSWH node is a high voltage and high frequency switching
node with high noise potential. Care should be taken to
minimize coupling to adjacent traces. Additionally, since this
copper trace also acts as heatsink for the lower FET, tradeoff
must be made to use the largest area possible to improve
DrMOS cooling while maintaining acceptable noise emission.
9. Ringing at the BOOT pin is most effectively controlled by
close placement of the boot capacitor. Do not add an additional
BOOT to PGND capacitor. This may lead to excess current flow
through the BOOT diode.
10. SMOD#, DISB# and PWM pins don’t have internal pull up or
pull down resistors. They should not be left floating. These pins
should not have any noise filter caps.
11. Use multiple vias on each copper area to interconnect top,
inner and bottom layers to help smooth current flow and heat
conduction. Vias should be relatively large and of reasonable
inductance. Critical high frequency components such as RBOOT,
CBOOT, the RC snubber and bypass caps should be located
close to the DrMOS module and on the same side of the PCB
as the module. If not feasible, they should be connected from
the backside via a network of low inductance vias.
3. Output inductor location should be as close as possible to the
FDMF6704 for lower power loss due to copper trace. Care
should be taken so that inductor dissipation does not heat the
DrMOS.
4. The PowerTrench® 5 MOSFETs used in the output stage are
very effective at minimizing ringing. In most cases, no snubber
