description
The TPS2836 and TPS2837 are MOSFET drivers for synchronous-buck power stages. These devices are ideal
for designing a high-performance power supply using switching controllers that do not have MOSFET drivers.
The drivers are designed to deliver minimum 2-A peak currents into large capacitive loads. The high-side driver
can be configured as ground-reference or as floating-bootstrap. An adaptive dead-time control circuit eliminates
shoot-through currents through the main power FETs during switching transitions and provides high efficiency
for the buck regulator.
The TPS2836 has a noninverting input, while the TPS2837 has an inverting input. These drivers, available in
8-terminal SOIC packages, operate over a junction temperature range of – 40°C to 125°C.

detailed description
low-side driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 2 A,
source and sink.
high-side driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 2 A,
source and sink. The high-side driver can be configured as a ground-reference driver or a floating bootstrap
driver. The internal bootstrap diode is a Schottky for improved drive efficiency. The maximum voltage that can
be applied between the BOOT terminal and ground is 30 V.
dead-time (DT) control
Dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing through the main power FETs during switching
transitions by controlling the turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver is not allowed to turn
on until the gate drive voltage to the low-side FET is low, and the low-side driver is not allowed to turn on until
the voltage at the junction of the power FETs (Vdrain) is low; the TTL-compatible DT terminal connects to the
junction of the power FETs.
IN
The IN terminal is a TTL-compatible digital terminal that is the input control signal for the drivers. The TPS2836
has a noninverting input; the TPS2837 has an inverting input.

NOTES: 3. Ensured by design, not production tested.
4. The pullup/pulldown circuits of the drivers are bipolar and MOSFET transistors in parallel. The peak output current rating is the
combined current from the bipolar and MOSFET transistors. The output resistance is the rDS(on) of the MOSFET transistor when
the voltage on the driver output is less than the saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 17 shows the circuit schematic of a 100-kHz synchronous-buck converter implemented with a TL5001A
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller and a TPS2837 driver. The converter operates over an input range from
4.5 V to 12 V and has a 3.3-V output. The circuit can supply 3 A continuous load and the transient load is 5 A. The
converter achieves an efficiency of 94% for VIN = 5 V, Iload=1 A, and 93% for VIN = 5 V, Iload = 3 A.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Great care should be taken when laying out the PC board. The power-processing section is the most critical
and will generate large amounts of EMI if not properly configured. The junction of Q1, Q2, and L1 should be very
tight. The connection from Q1 drain to the positive sides of C5, C10, and C11 and the connection from Q2 source
to the negative sides of C5, C10, and C11 should be as short as possible. The negative terminals of C7 and
C12 should also be connected to Q2 source.
Next, the traces from the MOSFET driver to the power switches should be considered. The BOOTLO signal from
the junction of Q1 and Q2 carries the large gate drive current pulses and should be as heavy as the gate drive
traces. The bypass capacitor (C14) should be tied directly across VCC and PGND.
The next most sensitive node is the FB node on the controller (terminal 4 on the TL5001A). This node is very
sensitive to noise pickup and should be isolated from the high-current power stage and be as short as possible.
The ground around the controller and low-level circuitry should be tied to the power ground as the output. If these
three areas are properly laid out, the rest of the circuit should not have other EMI problems and the power supply
will be relatively free of noise.
