Features of the AAT4910 28V Half-Bridge, Dual N-Channel MOSFET Driver
Introduction
The AAT4910 FastSwitch™ is a member of Skyworks Application Specific Power MOSFET (ASPM™) product family. It is
a half bridge buffered power stage that operates with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device is designed
to operate with a switching frequency of up to 2MHz, minimizing the cost and size of external components. The
AAT4910 is protected from shoot-through current by integrated break-before-make circuitry. The drivers are offered
with a single input control and a typical 50ns propagation delay from input to output.
Other features include low RDS(ON) and low quiescent current which allows high efficiency performance. The AAT4910
also includes thermal protection to safeguard the device under extreme operating conditions.
These features allow the device to be used in many applications including multiphase DC/DC converter output power
stages, DC motor drives, and Class D audio power amplifiers.
The AAT4910 is available in the space saving, Pb-free 8-pin SC70JW package and is rated over the -40 to 85°C temperature range.

Functional Block Diagram and Description
The AAT4910 is a dual MOSFET driver that takes a logic input (IN) and drives external high and low-side N-channel
MOSFETs. It can be used to drive the power section of DC/DC converters, Class D audio power amplifiers, or other
high-power devices requiring switched voltage. It is powered from a 5V rail and includes circuitry to drive the high-side
N-channel MOSFET with up to a 28V power input. The enable input (EN), when driven low, turns off the driver and
reduces the operating current to less than 1μA. Over-temperature shutdown protects the AAT4910 in case of a short
circuit or defective MOSFET. High-side driver under-voltage lockout (UVLO) turns off the high-side MOSFET when there
is insufficient voltage to drive the MOSFET, preventing damage at startup or if the IN input is held continuously high.
High-Side/Low-Side MOSFET Driver
The AAT4910 turns on the high-side external MOSFET when IN is driven high, and turns on the low-side MOSFET when
IN is driven low. The low 0.5Ω pull-up and 1.7Ω pull-down resistance allow fast turn-on and turn-off times as well as
the capability to drive multiple large MOSFETs. The lower pull-down resistance insures that the MOSFETs remain off
during fast drain-voltage switching transients.

Shoot Through Protection
The high-side and low-side MOSFETs of the AAT4910 can not conduct at the same time to prevent shoot-through current. When the IN pulse rises, DL is first pulled down. The shoot-through protection circuit waits for 20ns before pulling
up DH. Similarly, when IN goes low, DH is pulled down first, and the circuit pulls up DL after about 40ns. In this way,
the high-side and low-side MOSFETs are never on at the same time, preventing supply voltage shorts to ground. The
dead time between the DH and DL pulses should be kept as small as possible to minimize the current flows through
the body diode of the low-side MOSFET(s). The break-before-make shoot-through protection significantly reduces the
losses associated with the driver at high frequency.
Figure 2: AAT4910 Timing Diagram.
Boost Strap Capacitor
In order to fully turn on the high-side power MOSFET, the gate voltage must be 5V to 10V higher than its source voltage. The boost strap circuit includes a diode and a boost strap capacitor which are used to power the gate of the high
side MOSFET to a voltage greater than the supply voltage without a separate power supply rail. The high-side driver
boost capacitor between SW and BST is charged when the low-side MOSFET is on through the 5V power source and
the external rectifier (see Figure 3). Once the capacitor is charged, the DH MOSFET gate driver output is powered from
BST allowing sufficient MOSFET gate voltage for full enhancement. An under-voltage lockout feature on the BST-to-SW
voltage turns off the DH output if the voltage falls below the under-voltage threshold. This ensures that if the boost
capacitor discharges excessively or is unable to fully charge, the MOSFET will not be driven to an intermediate state
that would result in excessive power dissipation and could cause the MOSFET to fail.

Power MOSFET Selection
Matching a MOSFET driver to a MOSFET is very difficult due to the variety of MOSFET technologies and silicon processes. Choosing the right MOSFET for a MOSFET driver depends on the application and on MOSFET parameters such
as quiescent current, peak drive current rating, input–to–output propagation delay, latch-up immunity, package, and
power dissipation.
Power Dissipation
The high side and low side conduction losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the output switching
devices. They can be derived from the following equation:
Eq. 2: PC = IO2 · RDS( ON ) H · D + IO2 · RDS( ON ) L · (1 - D )
= IO2 · RDS( ON ) H ·

The switching loss due to charging and discharging the gate capacitance of the MOSFET is given by:
Eq. 3: PS = CGATE · VIN 2 · FSW = t SW · I o · VIN · FSW
Where tSW is the rise time of the gate voltage.
Power dissipation due to the quiescent current of the MOSFET driver is given by:
Eq. 4: PQ = IQ · VIN
The total power dissipation is the sum of PC, PS, and PQ equations:
Eq. 5: PTOTAL =
IO2 (RDS(ON ) H · VO + IO2 · RDS(ON ) L · [VIN - VO ] )
VIN
+ (t SW · FSW · I O + I Q ) · VIN
The high-side MOSFET is usually selected to minimize switching losses and conduction losses. This typically implies a
low gate resistance and low gate charge device. The low-side MOSFET is selected to have a low on resistance and large
input gate capacitance to minimize conduction losses.
Gate Drive Current Ratings
Choosing the MOSFET for the MOSFET driver is based on the speed required to turn the power MOSFET on and off. The
speed at which a MOSFET can be turned on and off is related to how quickly the gate capacitance of the MOSFET can be
charged and discharged. The maximum package power dissipation can be estimated by the following equation:
Eq. 6: PD ( MAX ) = VCC · I IN
=
TJ ( MAX ) - TAMB
θJA
= IQ · VCC + QG( HS) FSW · VCC + QG( LS) FSW · VCC
Where:
TJ(MAX) is the junction temperature of the die (°C)
TAMB is the ambient temperature (°C)
θJA is the thermal resistance (°C/W)
IQ is the operating current of the driver (mA)
QG(HS) and QG(LS) are the gate charge of high side and low side MOSFET (nC)
FSW is the switching frequency (MHz)
Assuming that the maximum gate charge of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs are equal, the maximum gate drive
capability for the designed maximum junction temperature without an external series resistor can be derived from

Multiphase Buck Converter Application
The advances in VLSI technologies impose a new challenge for delivering high quality power to modern microprocessors.
A multiphase buck converter offers several advantages over a single buck converter including low supply voltage, high
output current, low current ripple on the input and output capacitors, fast transient responses, and high efficiency.
Figure 5: Three-Phase CPU Power Supply for AMD Socket 939 Processor.
Today’s multiphase buck converters are almost universally based on the buck topology, where the basic buck converter circuits are placed in parallel between the input and load. The primary advantage of this type of converter is
that each phase is turned on at equally-spaced intervals over the switching period, and the load current is split among
the n-phases of the multiphase converter. In this way, the heat losses on each of the switches are spread across a
larger area. Another advantage provided by the multiphase converter is output ripple cancellation, which results in
increasing the effective output frequency without sacrificing the switching losses. The increasing effective frequency
reduces component size.

A typical AAT4910 MOSFET driver application in a two-phase buck converter is shown in Figure 6. The multiphase synchronous buck controller generates PWM1 and PWM2 180° out-of-phase. These PWM signals are fed into the IN terminals
of the AAT4910s to drive the dual N-channel power MOSFETs. The switching node voltages, inductor currents of channel
1 and channel 2, and output ripple cancellation are monitored on the oscilloscope (Figure 7). The output ripple is reduced
by a factor of 2, while the load experiences a ripple frequency which is 2 times the switching frequency.

Motor Drive Application
The AAT4910 is also ideally suited for use as an efficient output driver for DC brushless motor control. A motor control
circuit is illustrated in Figures 8 and 9.
In half bridge motor control, one end of the motor is connected to the SW node of the driver, and the other end is connected to the power supply or ground. The speed of the motor is controlled by the duty cycle of the PWM at the IN
terminal of the AAT4910. When the high side MOSFET turns OFF and the low side MOSFET turns ON, the current flows
through the motor to ground from the supply voltage (blue arrow). During the ON time, the low side turns OFF and
high side turns ON. The winding current keeps the induced current flowing in the same direction but exponentially
decays toward zero.

Features of the AAT4910 28V Half-Bridge, Dual N-Channel MOSFET Driver
The H-bridge (full-bridge) motor control power stage consists of two AAT4910 drivers and four DMOS power switches
as shown in Figure 9. This configuration allows the motor to operate in both directions. For forward drive, the Hi1 switch
and Lo2 switch in opposite halves of the bridge are turned ON, allowing current to flow in the direction of the solid blue
arrow. Turning the Lo2 switch OFF causes a voltage transient that forward biases the body diode of the Hi2 switch. This
body diode provides an alternative path for the winding current to flow (dashed blue arrow), and clamps the transient
voltage one diode drop above the supply voltage.
The reverse drive is similar; the Hi2 and Lo1 switches are turned ON, and then the Lo1 is turned OFF, allowing current
flow to continue in the reverse direction.
Power Stage Driver in Class D Audio Application
The Class D audio amplifier has quickly risen to replace the traditional Class A, B, and AB in consumer audio applications, including handheld devices such as mobile phone handsets, MP3 players, game consoles, LCD TVs, and home
theater systems. In this type of amplifier, the switches are either fully ON or fully OFF, significantly reducing the power
losses in the power devices. In this way, Class D audio offers a superior efficiency over 90%, which can not be achieved
in a traditional class-AB audio.
The superior efficiency of Class D offers the best solution in handheld device applications, where battery life is the most
important factor. In high-powered amplifier applications, such as audio-visual products, LCD TVs, and home theater
systems, the high power efficiency of Class D provides the advantages of smaller power supplies, smaller circuit board
area, and reduced heat dissipation.
In handheld applications, where size and cost are critical factors, a single chip solution is essential. However, in very
high output power products, a Class D modulator IC is used to control the switching power stage, including MOSFET
driver and power MOSFETs.
Half-Bridge Class D Audio Topology
In half-bridge Class D audio topology (Figure 10), the power stage, including an AAT4910 MOSFET driver and two
synchronous power MOSFETs, is controlled by a pulse width modulator (PWM). In the single supply application, the
driver is normally biased at a DC level that equals half-supply voltage. Typically, a 1000µF DC blocking capacitor (C2)
is used at the output to provide DC short-circuit protection.

Selecting a Output Power MOSFET for Class D Audio
The voltage rating of the output switching MOSFET is based on the output voltage swing and power required to achieve
1% total harmonic distortion (THD). The output voltage swing at full load is determined by the following equation:
Eq. 11: VSWING =
2
·
M
2 · P1%THD · R SPEAKER
Where:
M is the modulation index of 100%.
P1%THD is the power at 1% total harmonic distortion (THD).
RSPEAKER is speaker impedance.
The voltage rating of the output switching MOSFET should be 50% higher than the peak-to-peak voltage swing. The
peak switching device current is given by:
Eq. 12: I PEAK =
2 · P1%THD
RSPEAKER
Design Example
M = 100% or 1
P1%THD = 25W
RSPEAKER = 4Ω
Hence,
VSWING =
I PEAK =
2
· 2 · 25W · 4 = 20V
100%
2 · 25W
2 · P1%THD
= 3.5A
=

4W
The MOSFET size is a trade-off between minimizing conduction losses and minimizing switching losses. Conductive
losses (RDS(ON)*IDS2) dominate power dissipation and efficiency at high output power levels, while switching losses (CGATE
* VIN * FSW) dominate power dissipation at low output levels. Choosing a low RDS(ON) MOSFET to minimize conduction
losses at the high level output will increase the switching loss at low level output due to a significant increase in gate
capacitance (CGATE). Therefore, the power output device size is chosen to optimize power dissipation over a wide range
of signal conditions.
Gate Drive Choice and Propagation Delay Variation
The mismatch in signal propagation delay between the low side and the high side device causes the most significant
contribution of nonlinearity in a Class D audio amplifier. The switching time error in the gate drive results in variation
in the dead time and increased THD. If the dead time is decreased beyond a certain point (depending on the switching
speed of the MOSFETS), then both devices are conducting at the same time, which leads to large shoot-through currents that can reduce efficiency and may result in device destruction. However, increasing dead time results in increased
THD. The maximum propagation delays between DH and DL signals from the point where the control signal splits should
be set within 15ns.

APPLICATION NOTE
Features of the AAT4910 28V Half-Bridge, Dual N-Channel MOSFET Driver
The AAT4910 dual MOSFET driver features a shoot-through protection circuit with a delay matching of DH and DL to
within 15ns. The driver is also capable of providing 1.6A peak current drive requirements for a 5V gate voltage to
charge and discharge up to 6.2nF MOSFET gate capacitance during the switching interval of 20ns to 50ns rise/fall
times.
Output Filter Design and Feedback Network
Typically, a 22µH inductor core type, a 470nF polypropylene capacitor, and a 4Ω speaker are chosen to provide a cutoff frequency above the audio band (30 to 60KHz). The LC low-pass filter is capable of attenuating the carrier frequency (FSW) as much as 31dB at 300KHz to prevent electro-magnetic interference (EMF) caused by harmonics.
A feedback network that includes a passive RC low pass filter may be connected from both the switching node and the
filter output, and fed to the input of the error amplifier to minimize distortion and noise.
Full-Bridge Class D Audio Topology
Another well-known Class D topology is full-bridge (H-bridge), which uses four switching MOSFETs and Two AAT4910
drivers (Figure 11). Half-bridge topology is obviously simpler compared to H-bridge topology. However, it suffers from
“bus pumping,” which can be observed when the half-bridge topology is powering a low frequency output to the load.
The majority of the energy that is stored in the inductor of the low-pass filter flows back to the power supply, causing
bus fluctuation. The voltage fluctuation in the power supply creates distortion.
Although the H-bridge design is more complicated, it does not suffer from bus pumping. In the H-bridge topology, the
energy kicked back to the power supply from one side of the switching leg will be consumed in the other side of the
switching leg.
