VR11.1 Compatible Synchronous
Rectified Buck MOSFET Drivers

Features
• Dual MOSFET Drives for Synchronous Rectified Bridge
The ISL6620, ISL6620A is a high frequency MOSFET driver
designed to drive upper and lower power N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck converter topology.
The advanced PWM protocol of ISL6620, ISL6620A is
specifically designed to work with Intersil VR11.1 controllers
and combined with N-Channel MOSFETs, form a complete
core-voltage regulator solution for advanced microprocessors.
When ISL6620, ISL6620A detects a PSI protocol sent by an
Intersil VR11.1 controller, it activates Diode Emulation (DE)
operation; otherwise, it operates in normal Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM) PWM mode.
The IC is biased by a single low voltage supply (5V),
minimizing driving losses in high MOSFET gate capacitance
and high switching frequency applications. Each driver is
capable of driving a 3nF load with less than 10ns rise/fall time.
Bootstrapping of the upper gate driver is implemented via an
internal low forward drop diode, reducing implementation cost,
complexity, and allowing the use of higher performance, cost
effective N-Channel MOSFETs.
To further enhance light load efficiency, ISL6620, ISL6620A
enables diode emulation operation during PSI mode. This
allows Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) by detecting
when the inductor current reaches zero and subsequently
turning off the low side MOSFET to prevent it from sinking
current.
An advanced adaptive shoot-through protection is integrated
to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs from
conducting simultaneously and to minimize dead time. The
ISL6620, ISL6620A has a 20kΩ integrated high-side
gate-to-source resistor to prevent self turn-on due to high
input bus dV/dt.

Operation and Adaptive Shoot-through Protection
Designed for high speed switching, the ISL6620, ISL6620A
MOSFET driver controls both high-side and low-side
N-Channel FETs from one externally provided PWM signal.
A rising transition on PWM initiates the turn-off of the lower
MOSFET (see Timing Diagram). After a short propagation
delay [tPDLL], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall times
[tFL] are provided in the “Electrical Specifications” table on
page 4. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE
voltage and turns on the upper gate following a short delay
time [tPDHU] after the LGATE voltage drops below ~1V. The
upper gate drive then begins to rise [tRU] and the upper
MOSFET turns on.
A falling transition on PWM indicates the turn-off of the upper
MOSFET and the turn-on of the lower MOSFET. A short
propagation delay [tPDLU] is encountered before the upper gate
begins to fall [tFU]. The adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the UGATE-PHASE voltage and turns on the lower
MOSFET a short delay time [tPDHL], after the upper MOSFET’s
gate voltage drops below 1V. The lower gate then rises [tRL],
turning on the lower MOSFET. These methods prevent both the
lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously
(shoot-through), while adapting the dead time to the gate
charge characteristics of the MOSFETs being used.
This driver is optimized for voltage regulators with large step
down ratio. The lower MOSFET is usually sized larger
compared to the upper MOSFET because the lower MOSFET
conducts for a longer time during a switching period. The
lower gate driver is therefore sized much larger to meet this
application requirement. The 0.4Ω ON-resistance and 4A sink
current capability enable the lower gate driver to absorb the
current injected into the lower gate through the drain-to-gate
capacitor of the lower MOSFET and help prevent
6
shoot-through caused by the self turn-on of the lower
MOSFET due to high dV/dt of the switching node.
Advanced PWM Protocol (Patent Pending)
The advanced PWM protocol of ISL6620, ISL6620A is
specifically designed to work with Intersil VR11.1 controllers.
When ISL6620, ISL6620A detects a PSI protocol sent by an
Intersil VR11.1 controller, it turns on diode emulation
operation; otherwise, it remains in normal CCM PWM mode.
The controller communicates the tri-state signal to the driver
by transitioning the PWM signal from 0V to 2V. The driver
recognizes Diode Emulation mode and after 330ns
(typically) evaluates the PHASE voltage to detect negative
current, thus turning off LGATE. With no further PWM pulses
from the controller, both UGATE and LGATE are low and the
output can shut down. This feature helps prevent a negative
transient on the output voltage when the output is shut down,
eliminating the Schottky diode that is used in some systems
for protecting the load from reversed output voltage events.
Otherwise, the PWM rising and falling thresholds outlined in
the “Electrical Specifications” on page 4 determine when the
lower and upper gates are enabled.
Note that the LGATE will not turn off until the diode emulation
minimum LGATE ON-time of 350ns is expired for a PWM low
to tri-level (2.5V) transition.
Diode Emulation
Diode emulation allows for higher converter efficiency under
light-load situations. With diode emulation active, the
ISL6620, ISL6620A detects the zero current crossing of the
output inductor and turns off LGATE. This prevents the low
side MOSFET from sinking current and ensures that
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is achieved. The
LGATE has a minimum ON-time of 350ns in DCM mode.

Power-On Reset (POR) Function
During initial start-up, the VCC voltage rise is monitored. Once
the rising VCC voltage exceeds 3.8V (typically), operation of
the driver is enabled and the PWM input signal takes control
of the gate drives. If VCC drops below the falling threshold of
3.5V (typically), operation of the driver is disabled.
Internal Bootstrap Device
ISL6620, ISL6620A features an internal bootstrap Schottky
diode. Simply adding an external capacitor across the BOOT
and PHASE pins completes the bootstrap circuit. The
bootstrap function is also designed to prevent the bootstrap
capacitor from overcharging due to the large negative swing
at the trailing-edge of the PHASE node. This reduces
voltage stress on the BOOT to PHASE pins.
improvement suggestions. The total gate drive power losses
due to the gate charge of MOSFETs and the driver’s internal
circuitry and their corresponding average driver current can
be estimated using Equations 2 and 3, respectively:

Q2
The total gate drive power losses are dissipated among the
resistive components along the transition path, as outlined in
Equation 4. The drive resistance dissipates a portion of the
total gate drive power losses, the rest will be dissipated by the
external gate resistors (RG1 and RG2) and the internal gate
resistors (RGI1 and RGI2) of MOSFETs. Figures 3 and 4 show
the typical upper and lower gate drives turn-on current paths.

Power Dissipation
Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the
switching frequency (FSW), the output drive impedance, the
layout resistance, and the selected MOSFET’s internal gate
resistance and total gate charge (QG). Calculating the power
dissipation in the driver for a desired application is critical to
ensure safe operation. Exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation level may push the IC beyond the maximum
recommended operating junction temperature. The DFN
package is more suitable for high frequency applications. See

Application Information
MOSFET and Driver Selection
The parasitic inductances of the PCB and of the power
devices’ packaging (both upper and lower MOSFETs) can
cause serious ringing, exceeding the device’s absolute
maximum ratings. The negative ringing at the edges of the
PHASE node could increase the bootstrap capacitor voltage
through the internal bootstrap diode, and in some cases, it
may overstress the upper MOSFET driver. Careful layout,
proper selection of MOSFETs and packaging, as well as the
driver can minimize such unwanted stress.
The selection of D2-PAK, or D-PAK packaged MOSFETs, is
a much better match (for the reasons discussed) for the
ISL6620A. Low-profile MOSFETs, such as Direct FETs and
multi-source leads devices (SO-8, LFPAK, PowerPAK), have
low parasitic lead inductances and can be driven by either
ISL6620 or ISL6620A (assuming proper layout design). The
ISL6620, missing the 3Ω integrated BOOT resistor, typically
yields slightly higher efficiency than the ISL6620A.
Layout Considerations
Upper MOSFET Self Turn-on Effects at Start-up
Should the driver have insufficient bias voltage applied, its
outputs are floating. If the input bus is energized at a high
dV/dt rate while the driver outputs are floating, due to self
coupling via the internal CGD of the MOSFET, the gate of the
upper MOSFET could momentarily rise up to a level greater
than the threshold voltage of the device, potentially turning
on the upper switch. Therefore, if such a situation could
conceivably be encountered, it is a common practice to
place a resistor (RUGPH) across the gate and source of the
upper MOSFET to suppress the Miller coupling effect. The
value of the resistor depends mainly on the input voltage’s
rate of rise, the CGD/CGS ratio, as well as the gate-source
threshold of the upper MOSFET. A higher dV/dt, a lower
CDS/CGS ratio, and a lower gate-source threshold upper
FET will require a smaller resistor to diminish the effect of
the internal capacitive coupling. For most applications, the
integrated 20kΩ resistor is sufficient, not affecting normal
performance and efficiency.
The coupling effect can be roughly estimated using Equation 5,
which assumes a fixed linear input ramp and neglects the
clamping effect of the body diode of the upper drive and the
bootstrap capacitor. Other parasitic components, such as lead
inductances and PCB capacitances, are also not taken into
account. Figure 5 provides a visual reference for this
phenomenon and its potential solution.

• Keep decoupling loops (VCC-GND and BOOT-PHASE) as
short as possible.
• Minimize trace inductance, especially on low-impedance
lines. All power traces (UGATE, PHASE, LGATE, GND,
VCC) should be short and wide, as much as possible.
• Minimize the inductance of the PHASE node. Ideally, the
source of the upper and the drain of the lower MOSFET
should be as close as thermally allowable.
• Minimize the current loop of the output and input power
trains. Short the source connection of the lower MOSFET
to ground as close to the transistor pin as feasible. Input
capacitors (especially ceramic decoupling) should be
placed as close to the drain of upper and source of lower
MOSFETs as possible.

FA good layout helps reduce the ringing on the switching
node (PHASE) and significantly lower the stress applied to
the output drives. The following advice is meant to lead to an

In addition, connecting the thermal pad of the DFN package
to the power ground through a via, or placing a low noise
copper plane underneath the SOIC part is recommended for
high switching frequency, high current applications. This is to
improve heat dissipation and allow the part to achieve its
full thermal potential.
