Description
Features
The SC1205 is a cost effective Dual MOSFET Driver designed for switching High and Low side Power MOSFETs.
Each driver is capable of driving a 3000pF load in 20ns
max rise/fall time and has a 20ns max propagation delay from input transition to the gate of the power FET’s.
An internal Overlap Protection circuit prevents shootthrough from Vin to GND in the main and synchronous
MOSFET’s. The Adaptive Overlap Protection circuit ensures the Bottom FET does not turn on until the Top FET
source has reached a voltage low enough to prevent
cross-conduction.
‹ Fast rise and fall times (15ns typical with 3000pf
load)
‹ 3 Amp peak drive current
‹ 14ns max Propagation delay (BG going low)
‹ Adaptive Non-overlapping Gate Drives provide

The high current drive capability (3A peak) allows fast
switching, thus reducing switching losses at high (up to
1MHz) frequencies without overheating the driver. The
high voltage CMOS process allows operation from 5-25
Volts at top MOSFET drain, thus making SC1205 suitable for battery powered applications. Connecting Enable pin (EN) to logic low shuts down both drives and
reduces operating current to less than 10uA.

Applications
‹ High Density sunchronous power supplies
‹ Motor Drives/Class-D amps/Half bridge drivers
‹ High frequency (to 1.2 MHz) operation allows use
of small inductors and low cost caps in place of
electrolytics
‹ High efficiency portable computers
‹ Battery powered applications
An Under-Voltage-Lock-Out circuit is included to guarantee that both driver outputs are low when the 5V logic
level is less than or equal to 4.4V (typ) at supply ramp up
(4.35V at supply ramp down). An Internal temperature
sensor shuts down all drives in the event of
overtemperature. SC1205 is fabricated utilizing Bi-CMOS
technology for low quiescent current. The SC1205 is offered in a standard SO-8 package.

Applications Information
by which the top and bottom drive signals are applied.
The shoot-through protection is implemented by holding
the bottom FET off until the voltage at the phase node
(intersection of top FET source, the output inductor and
the bottom FET drain) has dropped below 1V. This assures that the top FET has turned off and that a direct
current path does not exist between the input supply
and ground. The top FET Gate Drive is turned on after
the bottom gate drive has gone low and an internal delay
time of 20ns has expired.
SC1205 is a high speed, smart dual MOSFET driver. It is
designed to drive Low Rds_On power MOSFET’s with
ultra-low rise/fall times and propagation delays. As the
switching frequencies of PWM controllers is increased to
reduce power supply volume and cost, fast rise and fall
times are necessary to minimize switching losses (TOP
MOSFET) and reduce Dead-time (BOTTOM MOSFET).
While Low Rds_On MOSFET’s present a power saving in
I2R losses, the MOSFET’s die area is larger and thus the
effective input gate capacitance of the MOSFET is increased. Often a 50% decrease in Rds_On more than
doubles the effective input gate charge, which must be
supplied by the driver. The Rds_On power savings can
be offset by the switching and dead-time losses with a
sub_optimum driver. While discrete solutions can achieve
reasonable drive capability, implementing shoot-through
and other housekeeping functions necessary for safe
operation can become cumbersome and costly. The
SC120X family of parts presents a total solution for the
high-speed high power density applications. Wide input
supply range of 4.5V-25V allows use in battery powered
applications, new high voltage, distributed power servers as well as Class-D amplifiers.
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
As with any high speed , high current circuit, proper layout is critical in achieving optimum performance of the
SC1205. The Evaluation board schematic (Refer to figure 3) shows a two-phase synchronous design with all
surface mountable components.
While components connecting to EN are relatively noncritical, tight placement and short, wide traces must be
used in layout of The gate drives, DRN, and especially
PGND pin. The top gate driver supply voltage is provided
by bootstrapping the +5V supply and adding it to the
phase node (DRN) voltage . Since the bootstrap capacitor supplies the charge to the top gate, it must be less
than .5” away from the SC1205. Ceramic X7R capacitors are a good choice for supply bypassing near the chip.
The Vcc pin capacitor must also be less than .5” away
from the SC1205. The ground node of this capacitor,
THEORY OF OPERATION
The control input (CO) to the SC1205 is typically supplied
by a PWM controller that regulates the power supply output. (See Application Evaluation Schematic, Figure 4).

the SC1205 PGND pin and the Source of the bottom
FET must be very close to each other, preferably with
common PCB copper land with multiple vias to the ground
plane (if used). The parallel Schottky (if used) must be
physically next to the Bottom FET’s drain and source pins.
Any trace or lead inductance in these connections will
drive current way from the Schottky and allow it to flow
through the FET’s Body diode, thus reducing efficiency.
does this at the expense of increased switching times
(and switching losses) for the top FET.
RINGING ON THE PHASE NODE
The top MOSFET source must be close to the bottom
MOSFET drain to prevent ringing and the possibility of
the phase node going negative. This frequency is determined by:
Preventing Inadvertent Bottom FET Turn-on
Fring =
At high input voltages, (12V and greater) a fast turn-on
of the top FET creates a positive going spike on the Bottom FET’s gate through the Miller capacitance, Crss of
the bottom FET. The voltage appearing on the gate due
to this spike is:
V SPIKE =
Where:
Lst = The effective stray inductance of the top FET added
to trace inductance of the connection between top FET’s
source and the bottom FET’s drain added to the trace
resistance of the bottom FET’s ground connection.
Coss=Drain to source capacitance of bottom FET. If there
is a Schottky used, the capacitance of the Schottky is
added to this value.
Vin * crss
( Crss + ciss
Where Ciss is the input gate capacitance of the bottom
FET. This is assuming that the impedance of the drive
path is too high compared to the instantaneous impedance of the capacitors. (since dV/dT and thus the effective frequency is very high). If the BG pin of the SC1205
is very close to the bottom FET, Vspike will be reduced
depending on trace inductance, rate of rise of current,
etc.
Although this ringing does not pose any power losses due
to a fairly high Q, it could cause the phase node to go too
far negative, thus causing improper operation, double
pulsing or at worst driver damage. On the SC1205, the
drain node, DRN, can go as far as 2V below ground without affecting operation or sustaining damage.
While not shown in Figure 4, a capacitor may be added
from the gate of the Bottom FET to its source, preferably
less than .5” away. This capacitor will be added to Ciss
in the above equation to reduce the effective spike voltage.
The ringing is also an EMI nuisance due to its high resonant frequency. Adding a capacitor, typically 10002000pf, in parallel with Coss of the bottom FET can often eliminate the EMI issue. If double pulsing, due to
excessive ringing, placing a 4.7-10 ohm resistor between
the phase node and the DRN pin of the SC1205 should
eliminate the double pulsing.
The bottom MOSFET must be selected with attention
paid to the Crss/Ciss ratio. A low ratio reduces the Miller
feedback and thus reduces Vspike. Also MOSFETs with
higher Turn-on threshold voltages will conduct at a higher
voltage and will not turn on during the spike. The MOSFET
shown in the schematic (Figure 4) has a 2 volt threshold
and will require approximately 4.5 volts Vgs to be conducting, thus reducing the possibility of shoot-through. A
zero ohm bottom FET gate resistor will obviously help
keeping the gate voltage low during off time.
The negative voltage spikes on the phase node adds to
the bootstrap capacitor voltage, thus increasing the voltage between VBST - VDRN. If the phase node negative
spikes are too large, the voltage on the boost capacitor
could exceed device’s absolute maximum rating of 7V.
To eliminate the effect of the ringing on the boost capacitor voltage, place a 4.7 - 10 Ohm resistor between
boost Schottky diode and Vcc to filter the negative spikes
on DRN Pin. Alternately, a Silicon diode, such as the
commonly available 1N4148 can substitute for the
Schottky diode and eliminate the need for the series resistor.
Ultimately, slowing down the top FET by adding gate resistance will reduce di/dt which will in turn make the effective impedance of the capacitors higher, thus allowing the BG driver to hold the bottom gate voltage low. It

Over Temp Shutdown
Proper layout will guarantee minimum ringing and eliminate the need for external components. Use of SO-8 or
other surface mount MOSFETs while increasing thermal
resistance, will reduce lead inductance as well as radiated EMI.
The SC1205 will shutdown by pulling both driver if its
junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 165 °C.
