RT9610A/B
High Voltage Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Driver
for Notebook Computer
General Description
Features
The RT9610A/B is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver
specifically designed to drive two power N-MOSFETS in
a synchronous-rectified buck converter topology. It is
especially suited for mobile computing applications that
require high efficiency and excellent thermal performance.
This driver, combined with Richtek's series of multi-phase
Buck PWM controllers, provides a complete core voltage
regulator solution for advanced microprocessors.
z
The drivers are capable of driving a 3nF load with fast
rising/falling time and fast propagation delay. This device
implements bootstrapping on the upper gates with only a
single external capacitor. This reduces implementation
complexity and allows the use of higher performance, cost
effective, N-MOSFETs. Adaptive shoot through protection
is integrated to prevent both MOSFETs from conducting
simultaneously.
The RT9610A/B is available in WQFN-8L 3x3 and
WDFN-8L 2x2 Packages.

Operation
POR (Power On Reset)
POR block detects the voltage at the VCC pin. When the
VCC pin voltage is higher than POR rising threshold, the
POR pin output voltage (POR output) is high. POR output
is low when VCC is not higher than POR rising threshold.
When the POR pin voltage is high, UGATE and LGATE
can be controlled by PWM input voltage. If the POR pin
voltage is low, both UGATE and LGATE will be pulled to
low.
Tri-State Detect
When both POR output and EN pin voltages are high,
UGATE and LGATE can be controlled by PWM input. There
are three PWM input modes which are high, low, and
shutdown state. If PWM input is within the shutdown
window, both UGATE and LGATE outputs are low. When
PWM input is higher than its rising threshold, UGATE is
high and LGATE is low. When PWM input is lower than
its falling threshold, UGATE is low and LGATE is high.
Control Logic
Control logic block detects whether high side MOSFET
is turned off by monitoring (UGATE - PHASE) voltages
below 1.1V or PHASE voltage below 2V. To prevent the
overlap of the gate drives during the UGATE pulls low and
the LGATE pulls high, low side MOSFET can be turned
on only after high side MOSFET is effectively turned off.
Shoot-Through Protection
Shoot-through protection block implements the dead-time
when both high side and low side MOSFETs are turned
off. With shoot-through protection block, high side and
low side MOSFETs are never turned on simultaneously.
Thus, shoot-through between high side and low side
MOSFETs is prevented.

RT9610A/B
Application Information
Supply Voltage and Power On Reset
The RT9610A/B is designed to drive both high side and
low side N-MOSFETs through an externally input PWM
control signal. Connect 5V to VCC to power on the
RT9610A/B. A minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor is
recommended to bypass the supply voltage. Place the
bypassing capacitor physically near the IC. The power on
reset (POR) circuit monitors the supply voltage at the
VCC pin. If VCC exceeds the POR rising threshold voltage,
the controller resets and prepares for operation. UGATE
and LGATE are held low before VCC is above the POR
rising threshold.
Enable and Disable
The RT9610A/B includes an EN pin for sequence control.
When the EN pin rises above the VENH trip point, the
RT9610A/B begins a new initialization and follows the
PWM command to control the UGATE and LGATE. When
the EN pin falls below the VENL trip point, the RT9610A/B
shuts down and keeps UGATE and LGATE low.
voltages of the PHASE pin and high side gate drive to fall
below their threshold, the non-overlap protection circuit
ensures that UGATE is low before LGATE pulls high.
Also to prevent the overlap of the gate drives during LGATE
pull low and UGATE pull high, the non-overlap circuit
monitors the LGATE voltage. When LGATE go below 1.1V,
UGATE is allowed to go high.
Driving Power MOSFETs
The DC input impedance of the power MOSFET is
extremely high. The gate draws the current only for few
nano-amperes. Thus once the gate has been driven up to
“ON” level, the current could be negligible.
However, the capacitance at the gate to source terminal
should be considered. It requires relatively large currents
to drive the gate up and down rapidly. It is also required to
switch drain current on and off with the required speed.
The required gate drive currents are calculated as follows.
D1
d1
Three State PWM Input
After initialization, the PWM signal takes over the control.
The rising PWM signal first forces the LGATE signal low
and then allows the UGATE signal to go high right after a
non-overlapping time to avoid shoot through current. In
contrast, the falling PWM signal first forces UGATE to go
low. When the UGATE or PHASE signal reach a
predetermined low level, LGATE signal is then allowed to
go high.

Non-overlap Control
To prevent the overlap of the gate drives during the UGATE
pull low and the LGATE pull high, the non-overlap circuit
monitors the voltages at the PHASE node and high side
gate drive (UGATE-PHASE). When the PWM input signal
goes low, UGATE begins to pull low (after propagation
delay). Before LGATE can pull high, the non-overlap
protection circuit ensures that the monitored (UGATEPHASE) voltages have gone below 1.1V or phase voltage
is below 2V. Once the monitored voltages fall below the
threshold, LGATE begins to turn high. By waiting for the

In Figure 1, the current Ig1 and Ig2 are required to move the
gate up to 5V. The operation consists of charging Cgd1,
Cgd2 , Cgs1 and Cgs2. Cgs1 and Cgs2 are the capacitors from
gate to source of the high side and the low side power
MOSFETs, respectively. In general data sheets, the Cgs1
and C gs2 are referred as “Ciss” which are the input
capacitors. Cgd1 and Cgd2 are the capacitors from gate to
drain of the high side and the low side power MOSFETs,
respectively and referred to the data sheets as “Crss” the
reverse transfer capacitance. For example, tr1 and tr2 are
the rising time of the high side and the low side power
MOSFETs respectively, the required current Igs1 and Igs2,
are shown as below :

Before driving the gate of the high side MOSFET up to
5V, the low side MOSFET has to be off; and the high side
MOSFET is turned off before the low side is turned on.
From Figure 1, the body diode “D2” had been turned on
before high side MOSFETs turned on.

It is helpful to calculate these currents in a typical case.
Assume a synchronous rectified buck converter, input
voltage VIN = 12V, Vg1 = Vg2 = 5V. The high side MOSFET
is PHB83N03LT whose Ciss = 1660pF, Crss = 380pF, and
tr = 14ns. The low side MOSFET is PHB95N03LT whose
Ciss = 2200pF, Crss = 500pF and tr = 30ns, from the
equation (1) and (2) we can obtain :

(8)
the total current required from the gate driving source can
be calculated as following equations :
Ig1 = Igs1 + Igd1 = ( 0.593 + 0.136 ) = 0.729 (A)
(9)
Ig2 = Igs2 + Igd2 = ( 0.367 + 0.283 ) = 0.65 (A)
(10)
By a similar calculation, we can also get the sink current
required from the turned off MOSFET.
Select the Bootstrap Capacitor
Figure 2 shows part of the bootstrap circuit of the
RT9610A/B. The VCB (the voltage difference between
BOOT and PHASE on RT9610A/B) provides a voltage to
the gate of the high side power MOSFET. This supply
needs to be ensured that the MOSFET can be driven. For
this, the capacitance CB has to be selected properly. It is
determined by following constraints.

In practice, a low value capacitor CB will lead to the over
charging that could damage the IC. Therefore, to minimize
the risk of overcharging and to reduce the ripple on VCB,
the bootstrap capacitor should not be smaller than 0.1μF,
and the larger the better. In general design, using 1μF can
provide better performance. At least one low ESR capacitor
should be used to provide good local de-coupling. It is
recommended to adopt a ceramic or tantalum capacitor.

For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the

79.5°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal
test board. For WDFN-8L 2x2 packages, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 120°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7
four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following
formula :

where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WQFN-8L 3x3 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is

When layout the PCB, it should be very careful. The power
circuit section is the most critical one. If not configured
properly, it will generate a large amount of EMI. The
junction of Q1, Q2, L2 should be very close.
Next, the trace from UGATE, and LGATE should also be
short to decrease the noise of the driver output signals.
PHASE signals from the junction of the power MOSFET,
carrying the large gate drive current pulses, should be as
heavy as the gate drive trace. The bypass capacitor C4
should be connected to GND directly. Furthermore, the
bootstrap capacitors (CB) should always be placed as close
to the pins of the IC as possible.
