


Fully Optimized System Efficiency
The XS™ DrMOS family is Fairchild’s next-generation,
fully optimized, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET plus
driver power stage solution for high-current, highfrequency, synchronous buck DC-DC applications. The
FDMF6707B integrates a driver IC, two power MOSFETs,
and a bootstrap Schottky diode into a thermally
enhanced, ultra-compact 6x6mm PQFN package.
Clean Switching Waveforms with Minimal Ringing
High-Current Handling
Features
With an integrated approach, the complete switching
power stage is optimized for driver and MOSFET
dynamic performance, system inductance, and power
MOSFET RDS(ON). XS™ DrMOS uses Fairchild's highperformance PowerTrench® MOSFET technology,
which dramatically reduces switch ringing, eliminating
the snubber circuit in most buck converter applications.

Note:
1. IO(AV) is rated using Fairchild’s DrMOS evaluation board, at TA = 25°C, with natural convection cooling. This rating
is limited by the peak DrMOS temperature, TJ = 150°C, and varies depending on operating conditions and PCB
layout. This rating can be changed with different application settings.

Note:
2. Operating at high VIN can create excessive AC overshoots on the VSWH-to-GND and BOOT-to-GND nodes
during MOSFET switching transients. For reliable DrMOS operation, VSWH-to-GND and BOOT-to-GND must
remain at or below the Absolute Maximum Ratings shown in the table above. Refer to the “Application

The FDMF6707B is a driver-plus-FET module optimized
for the 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 1MHz.
3-State PWM Input
The FDMF6707B incorporates a 3-state 3.3V PWM
input gate drive design. The 3-state gate drive has both
logic HIGH level and LOW level, along with a 3-state
shutdown window. When the PWM input signal enters
and remains within the 3-state window for a defined
hold-off time (tD_HOLD-OFF), both GL and GH are pulled
LOW. This feature enables the gate drive to shut down
both high-and low-side MOSFETs to support features
such as phase shedding, a common feature on multiphase voltage regulators.
VCIN and Disable (DISB#)
The VCIN pin is monitored by an under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) circuit. When VCIN rises above ~3.1V, the driver
is enabled for operation. When VCIN falls below ~2.7V,
the driver is disabled (GH, GL=0). The driver can also
be disabled by pulling the DISB# pin LOW (DISB# <
VIL_DISB), which holds both GL and GH LOW regardless
of the PWM input state. The driver can be enabled by
raising the DISB# pin voltage HIGH (DISB# > VIH_DISB).
Table 1.
Exiting 3-State Condition
When exiting a valid 3-state condition, the FDMF6707B
design follows the PWM input command. If the PWM
input goes from 3-state to LOW, the low-side MOSFET
is turned on. If the PWM input goes from 3-state to
HIGH, the high-side MOSFET is turned on, as illustrated
in Figure 25. The FDMF6707B design allows for short
propagation delays when exiting the 3-state window
(see Electrical Characteristics).

Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver (GL) is designed to drive a groundreferenced 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#=0V), GL is held LOW.
Note:
3. DISB# internal pull-down current source is 10µA.
Thermal Warning Flag (THWN#)
The FDMF6707B provides a thermal warning flag
(THWN#) to advise of over-temperature conditions. The
thermal warning flag uses an open-drain output that
pulls to CGND when the activation temperature (150°C)
is reached. The THWN# output returns to highimpedance state once the temperature falls to the reset
temperature (135°C). For use, the THWN# output
requires a pull-up resistor, which can be connected to
VCIN. THWN# does NOT disable the DrMOS module.

High-Side Driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive a floating Nchannel MOSFET. The bias voltage for the high-side
driver is developed by a bootstrap supply circuit
consisting of the internal Schottky diode and external
bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). During startup, VSWH is
held at PGND, allowing CBOOT to charge to VDRV
through the internal diode. When the PWM input goes
HIGH, GH begins to charge the gate of the high-side
MOSFET (Q1). During this transition, the charge is
removed from CBOOT and delivered to the gate of Q1.
As Q1 turns on, VSWH rises to VIN, forcing the BOOT
pin to VIN + VBOOT, 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. The high-side
gate is held LOW when the driver is disabled or the
PWM signal is held within the 3-state window for
longer than the 3-state hold-off time, tD_HOLD-OFF.

To prevent 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 begins to turn off after a propagation delay
(tPD_PLGHL). Once the VSWH pin falls below ~2.2V, Q2
begins to turn on after adaptive delay tD_DEADOFF.
Additionally, VGS(Q1) is monitored. When VGS(Q1) is
discharged below ~1.2V, a secondary adaptive delay is
initiated that results in Q2 being driven on after
tD_TIMEOUT, regardless of VSWH state. This function is
implemented to ensure CBOOT is recharged each
switching cycle in the event that the VSWH voltage does
not fall below the 2.2V adaptive threshold. Secondary
delay tD_TIMEOUT is longer than tD_DEADOFF.
The driver IC design ensures minimum MOSFET dead
time while eliminating potential shoot-through (crossconduction) currents. It senses the state of the
MOSFETs and adjusts the gate drive adaptively to
prevent simultaneous conduction. Figure 25 provides
the relevant timing waveforms. 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 begins to
turn off after a propagation delay (tPD_PHGLL). Once the
GL pin is discharged below ~1V, Q1 begins to turn on
after adaptive delay tD_DEADON.

The SMOD function allows for higher converter
efficiency under light-load conditions. During SMOD, the
low-side FET gate signal is disabled (held LOW),
preventing discharging of the output capacitors as the
filter inductor current attempts reverse current flow –
also known as “Diode Emulation” Mode.
Table 2.
When the SMOD# pin is pulled HIGH, the synchronous
buck converter works in Synchronous Mode. This mode
allows for gating on the low-side FET. When the
SMOD# pin is pulled LOW, the low-side FET is gated
off. If the SMOD# pin is connected to the PWM
controller, the controller can actively enable or disable
SMOD when the controller detects light-load condition
from output current sensing. This pin is active LOW.

Supply Capacitor Selection
VCIN Filter
For the supply inputs (VDRV & VCIN), a local ceramic
bypass capacitor is required to reduce noise and to
supply peak transient currents during gate drive
switching action. It is recommended to use a minimum
capacitor value of 1µF X7R or X5R. Keep this capacitor
close to the VCIN and VDRV pins and connect it to the
GND plane with vias.
The VDRV pin provides power to the gate drive of the
high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. In most cases,
VDRV can be connected directly to VCIN, which supplies
power to the logic circuitry of the gate driver. For
additional noise immunity, an RC filter can be inserted
between VDRV and VCIN. Recommended values would
be 10Ω (RVCIN) placed between VDRV and VCIN and 1µF
(CVCIN) from VCIN to CGND (see Figure 28).
Bootstrap Circuit
Power Loss and Efficiency
The bootstrap circuit uses a charge storage capacitor
(CBOOT), as shown in Figure 27. A bootstrap capacitance
of 100nF X7R or X5R capacitor is typically adequate. A
series bootstrap resistor may be needed for specific
applications to improve switching noise immunity. The
boot resistor may be required when operating near the
maximum rated VIN and is effective at controlling the
high-side MOSFET turn-on slew rate and VSHW
overshoot. Typical RBOOT values from 0.5Ω to 2.0Ω are
effective in reducing VSWH overshoot.

boot capacitor (CBOOT) and DrMOS BOOT pin. The
BOOT-to-VSWH loop size, including RBOOT and
CBOOT, should be as small as possible. The boot
resistor may be required when operating near the
maximum rated VIN. The boot resistor is effective at
controlling the high-side MOSFET turn-on slew rate
and VSHW overshoot. RBOOT can improve noise
operating margin in synchronous buck designs that
may have noise issues due to ground bounce or high
positive and negative VSWH ringing. However,
inserting a boot resistance lowers the DrMOS
efficiency. Efficiency versus noise trade-offs must be
considered. RBOOT values from 0.5Ω to 2.0Ω are
typically effective in reducing VSWH overshoot.
Figure 29 provides an example of a proper layout for the
FDMF6707B and critical components. All of the highcurrent paths, such as VIN, VSWH, VOUT, and GND
copper, should be short and wide for low inductance
and resistance. This technique achieves a more stable
and evenly distributed current flow, along with enhanced
heat radiation and system performance.
The following guidelines are recommendations for the
PCB designer:
1. Input ceramic bypass capacitors must be placed
close to the VIN and PGND pins. This helps reduce
the high-current power loop inductance and the input
current ripple induced by the power MOSFET
switching operation.
8. The VIN and PGND pins handle large current
transients with frequency components greater than
100MHz. If possible, these 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 adds inductance to the
power path. Added inductance in series with the VIN
or PGND pin degrades system noise immunity by
increasing positive and negative VSWH ringing.
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 a heat sink for the low-side MOSFET
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 to minimize losses and
temperature rise. 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. Since this
copper trace also acts as a heat sink for the lower
FET, balance using the largest area possible to
improve
DrMOS
cooling
while
maintaining
acceptable noise emission.
9. CGND pad and PGND pins should be connected to
the GND plane 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 faulty operation of the gate
driver and MOSFETs.
10. Ringing at the BOOT pin is most effectively
controlled by close placement of the boot capacitor.
Do not add an additional BOOT to the PGND
capacitor: this may lead to excess current flow
through the BOOT diode.
3. An output inductor should be located close to the
FDMF6707B to minimize the power loss due to the
VSWH copper trace. Care should also be taken so
the inductor dissipation does not heat the DrMOS.
11. The SMOD# and DISB# pins have weak internal
pull-up and pull-down current sources, respectively.
These pins should not have any noise filter
capacitors. Do not to float these pins unless
absolutely necessary.
4. PowerTrench® MOSFETs are used in the output
stage. The power MOSFETs are effective at
minimizing ringing due to fast switching. In most
cases, no VSWH snubber is required. If a snubber is
used, it should be placed close to the VSWH and
PGND pins. The resistor and capacitor need to be of
proper size for the power dissipation.
FDMF6707B - Extra-Small High-Performance, High-Frequency DrMOS Module
PCB Layout Guidelines
12. Use multiple vias on each copper area to
interconnect top, inner, and bottom layers to help
distribute current flow and heat conduction. Vias
should be relatively large and of reasonably low
inductance. Critical high-frequency components,
such as RBOOT, CBOOT, the RC snubber, and bypass
capacitors should be located as close to the
respective DrMOS module pins as possible on the
top layer of the PCB. If this is not feasible, they
should be connected from the backside through a
network of low-inductance vias.
5. VCIN, VDRV, and BOOT capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the VCIN to CGND,
VDRV to CGND, and BOOT to PHASE pins to
ensure clean and stable power. Routing width and
length should be considered as well.
6. Include a trace from PHASE to VSWH to improve
noise margin. Keep the trace as short as possible.
7. The layout should include a placeholder to insert a
small-value series boot resistor (RBOOT) between the
