FAN3121 / FAN3122 — Single 9A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
Typical Performance Characteristics
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 family offers versions in
either TTL or CMOS input configuration. In the
FAN3121T and FAN3122T, the input thresholds meet
industry-standard TTL-logic thresholds independent of
the VDD voltage, and there is a hysteresis voltage of
approximately 0.7V. These levels permit the inputs to
be driven from a range of input logic signal levels for
which a voltage over 2V is considered logic HIGH. The
driving signal for the TTL inputs should have fast rising
and falling edges with a slew rate of 6V/µs or faster, so
the rise time from 0 to 3.3V should be 550ns or less.
For applications with zero voltage switching during the
MOSFET turn-on or turn-off interval, the driver supplies
high peak current for fast switching, even though the
Miller plateau is not present. This situation often occurs
in synchronous rectifier applications because the body
diode is generally conducting before the MOSFET is
switched on.
The output pin slew rate is determined by VDD voltage
and the load on the output. It is not user adjustable, but
a series resistor can be added if a slower rise or fall
time at the MOSFET gate is needed.
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 output can be enabled or
disabled using the EN pin with a very rapid response
time. If EN is not externally connected, an internal pullup resistor enables the driver by default. The EN pin
has logic thresholds for parts with either TTL or CMOS
IN thresholds.
In the FAN3121C and FAN3122C, the logic input
thresholds are dependent on the VDD level and, with VDD
of 12V, the logic rising edge threshold is approximately
55% of VDD and the input falling edge threshold is
approximately 38% of VDD. The CMOS input
configuration
offers
a
hysteresis
voltage
of
approximately 17% of VDD. The CMOS inputs can be
used with relatively slow edges (approaching DC) if
good decoupling and bypass techniques are
incorporated in the system design to prevent noise from
violating the input voltage hysteresis window. This
allows setting precise timing intervals by fitting an R-C
circuit between the controlling signal and the IN pin of
the driver. The slow rising edge at the IN pin of the
driver introduces a delay between the controlling signal
and the OUT pin of the driver.
Static Supply Current
In the IDD (static) Typical Performance Characteristics,
the curves are produced with all inputs / enables
floating (OUT is LOW) and indicates the lowest static
IDD current for the tested configuration. For other states,
additional current flows through the 100kΩ resistors on
the inputs and outputs, as shown in the block diagram
(see Figure 7). In these cases, the actual static IDD
current is the value obtained from the curves, plus this
additional current.
MillerDrive™ Gate-Drive Technology
FAN312x gate drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™
architecture shown in Figure 46. For the output stage, a
combination of bipolar and MOS devices provide large
currents over a wide range of supply voltage and
temperature variations. The bipolar devices carry the
bulk of the current as OUT swings between 1/3 to 2/3
VDD and the MOS devices pull the output to the HIGH or
LOW rail.
The purpose of the Miller Drive™ architecture is to
speed up switching by providing high current during the
Miller plateau region when the gate-drain capacitance of
the MOSFET is being charged or discharged as part of
the turn-on / turn-off process.

FAN3121 / FAN3122 • Rev. 1.0.0
Figure 46. Miller Drive™ Output Architecture
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The FAN312x startup logic is optimized to drive groundreferenced N-channel MOSFETs with an under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) function to ensure that the IC starts in
an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet below the
4.0V operational level, this circuit holds the output low,
regardless of the status of the input pins. After the part
is active, the supply voltage must drop 0.25V before the
part shuts down. This hysteresis helps prevent chatter
when low VDD supply voltages have noise from the
power switching. This configuration is not suitable for
driving high-side P-channel MOSFETs because the low
output voltage of the driver would turn the P-channel
MOSFET on with VDD below 4.0V.
VDD Bypassing and Layout Considerations
The FAN3121 and FAN3122 are available in either
8-lead SOIC or MLP packages. In either package, the
VDD pins 1 and 8 and the GND pins 4 and 5 should be
connected together on the PCB.
In typical FAN312x gate-driver applications, highcurrent pulses are needed to charge and discharge the
gate of a power MOSFET in time intervals of 50ns or
less. A bypass capacitor with low ESR and ESL should
be connected directly between the VDD and GND pins to
provide these large current pulses without causing
unacceptable ripple on the VDD supply. To meet these
requirements in a small size, a ceramic capacitor of 1µF
or larger is typically used, with a dielectric material such
as X7R, to limit the change in capacitance over the
temperature and / or voltage application ranges.

FAN3121 / FAN3122 — Single 9A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
Figure 47 shows the pulsed gate drive current path
when the gate driver is supplying gate charge to turn
the MOSFET on. The current is supplied from the local
bypass capacitor CBYP and flows through the driver to
the MOSFET gate and to ground. To reach the high
peak currents possible with the FAN312x family, the
resistance and inductance in the path should be
minimized. The localized CBYP acts to contain the high
peak current pulses within this driver-MOSFET circuit,
preventing them from disturbing the sensitive analog
circuitry in the PWM controller.
Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at
high frequencies can dissipate significant amounts of
power. It is important to determine the driver power
dissipation and the resulting junction temperature in the
application to ensure that the part is operating within
acceptable temperature limits.
In a full-bridge synchronous rectifier application, shown
in Figure 53, each FAN3122 drives a parallel
combination of two high-current MOSFETs, (such as
FDMS8660S). The typical gate charge for each SR
MOSFET is 70nC with VGS = VDD = 9V. At a switching
frequency of 300kHz, the total power dissipation is:
The total power dissipation in a gate driver is the sum of
two components, PGATE and PDYNAMIC:
PTOTAL = PGATE + PDYNAMIC
(1)
Gate Driving Loss: The most significant power loss
results from supplying gate current (charge per unit
time) to switch the load MOSFET on and off at the
switching frequency. The power dissipation that
results from driving a MOSFET at a specified gatesource voltage, VGS, with gate charge, QG, at
switching frequency, fSW , is determined by:
PGATE = QG • VGS • fSW
(2)
Dynamic Pre-drive / Shoot-through Current: A
power loss resulting from internal current
consumption under dynamic operating conditions,
including pin pull-up / pull-down resistors, can be
obtained using the “IDD (No-Load) vs. Frequency”
graphs in Typical Performance Characteristics to
determine the current IDYNAMIC drawn from VDD
under actual operating conditions:
PDYNAMIC = IDYNAMIC • VDD
(3)
Once the power dissipated in the driver is determined,
the driver junction rise with respect to circuit board can
be evaluated using the following thermal equation,
assuming ψ JB was determined for a similar thermal
design (heat sinking and air flow):
TJ
= PTOTAL • ψ JB + TB
(4)
PGATE = 2 • 70nC • 9V • 300kHz = 0.378W
(5)
PDYNAMIC = 2mA • 9V = 18mW
(6)
PTOTAL = 0.396W
(7)
The SOIC-8 has a junction-to-board thermal
characterization parameter of ψ JB = 42°C/W. In a
system application, the localized temperature around
the device is a function of the layout and construction of
the PCB along with airflow across the surfaces. To
ensure reliable operation, the maximum junction
temperature of the device must be prevented from
exceeding the maximum rating of 150°C; with 80%
derating, TJ would be limited to 120°C. Rearranging
Equation 4 determines the board temperature required
to maintain the junction temperature below 120°C:
TB,MAX = TJ - PTOTAL • ψ JB
(8)
TB,MAX = 120°C – 0.396W • 42°C/W = 104°C
(9)
For comparison, replace the SOIC-8 used in the
previous example with the 3x3mm MLP package with
ψ JB = 2.8°C/W. The 3x3mm MLP package can operate
at a PCB temperature of 118°C, while maintaining the
junction temperature below 120°C. This illustrates that
the physically smaller MLP package with thermal pad
offers a more conductive path to remove the heat from
the driver. Consider tradeoffs between reducing overall
circuit size with junction temperature reduction for
increased reliability.
where:
TJ = driver junction temperature;
ψ JB = (psi) thermal characterization parameter relating
temperature rise to total power dissipation; and
TB = board temperature in location as defined in
the Thermal Characteristics table.
