Dual 2A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
Features
Description





The FAN3226-29 family of dual 2A gate drivers is
designed to drive N-channel enhancement-mode
MOSFETs in low-side switching applications by
providing high peak current pulses during the short
switching intervals. The driver is available with either
TTL or CMOS input thresholds. Internal circuitry
provides an under-voltage lockout function by holding
the output low until the supply voltage is within the
operating range. In addition, the drivers feature matched
internal propagation delays between A and B channels
for applications requiring dual gate drives with critical
timing, such as synchronous rectifiers. This enables
connecting two drivers in parallel to effectively double
the current capability driving a single MOSFET.

The FAN3226 offers two inverting drivers and the
FAN3227 offers two non-inverting drivers. Each device
has dual independent enable pins that default to ON if
not connected. In the FAN3228 and FAN3229, each
channel has dual inputs of opposite polarity, which
allows configuration as non-inverting or inverting with an
optional enable function using the second input. If one
or both inputs are left unconnected, internal resistors
bias the inputs such that the output is pulled low to hold
the power MOSFET off.

The FAN322X drivers incorporate MillerDrive™
architecture for the final output stage. This bipolarMOSFET combination provides high current during the
Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET turn-on / turn-off
process to minimize switching loss, while providing railto-rail voltage swing and reverse current capability.

Estimates derived from thermal simulation; actual values depend on the application.
Theta_JL (JL): Thermal resistance between the semiconductor junction and the bottom surface of all the leads (including any
thermal pad) that are typically soldered to a PCB.
Theta_JT (JT): Thermal resistance between the semiconductor junction and the top surface of the package, assuming it is
held at a uniform temperature by a top-side heatsink.
Theta_JA (ΘJA): Thermal resistance between junction and ambient, dependent on the PCB design, heat sinking, and airflow.
The value given is for natural convection with no heatsink using a 2S2P board, as specified in JEDEC standards JESD51-2,
JESD51-5, and JESD51-7, as appropriate.
Psi_JB (JB): Thermal characterization parameter providing correlation between semiconductor junction temperature and an
application circuit board reference point for the thermal environment defined in Note 4. For the MLP-8 package, the board
reference is defined as the PCB copper connected to the thermal pad and protruding from either end of the package. For the
SOIC-8 package, the board reference is defined as the PCB copper adjacent to pin 6.
Psi_JT (JT): Thermal characterization parameter providing correlation between the semiconductor junction temperature and
the center of the top of the package for the thermal environment defined in Note 4.

FAN3226 / FAN3227 / FAN3228 / FAN3229 — Dual 2A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
Typical Performance Characteristics
Input Thresholds
MillerDrive™ Gate Drive Technology
Each member of the FAN322x driver family consists of
two identical channels that may be used independently
at rated current or connected in parallel to double the
individual current capacity. In the FAN3226 and
FAN3227, channels A and B can be enabled or disabled
independently using ENA or ENB, respectively. The EN
pin has TTL thresholds for parts with either CMOS or
TTL input thresholds. If ENA and ENB are not
connected, an internal pull-up resistor enables the driver
channels by default. If the channel A and channel B
inputs and outputs are connected in parallel to increase
the driver current capacity, ENA and ENB should be
connected and driven together.
FAN322x gate drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™
architecture shown in Figure 48. 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 FAN322x family offers versions in either TTL or
CMOS input thresholds. In the FAN322xT, the input
thresholds meet industry-standard TTL-logic thresholds
independent of the VDD voltage, and there is a
hysteresis voltage of approximately 0.4V. 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 a rise time from 0 to 3.3V should be
550ns or less. With reduced slew rate, circuit noise
could cause the driver input voltage to exceed the
hysteresis voltage and retrigger the driver input, causing
erratic operation.
For applications that have 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 purpose of the MillerDrive™ 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.
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.
In the FAN322xC, 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.
Figure 48. MillerDrive™ Output Architecture
Under-Voltage Lockout
Static Supply Current
The FAN322x startup logic is optimized to drive groundreferenced N-channel MOSFETs with an under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) function to ensure that the IC starts up
in an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet below the
3.9V 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 0.2V 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 3.9V.
In the IDD (static) typical performance characteristics
(see Figure 13 - Figure 15 and Figure 20 - Figure 22),
the curve is 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 100k resistors on the inputs
and outputs shown in the block diagram of each part
(see Figure 5 - Figure 8). In these cases, the actual
static IDD current is the value obtained from the curves
plus this additional current.

FAN3226 / FAN3227 / FAN3228 / FAN3229 — Dual 2A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
Applications Information

To enable this IC to turn a device on quickly, a local
high-frequency bypass capacitor CBYP with low ESR and
ESL should be connected between the VDD and GND
pins with minimal trace length. This capacitor is in
addition to bulk electrolytic capacitance of 10µF to 47µF
commonly found on driver and controller bias circuits.

The turn-on and turn-off current paths should be
minimized, as discussed in the following section.
Figure 49 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, the resistance and inductance in
the path should be minimized. The localized CBYP acts
to contain the high peak current pulses within this driverMOSFET circuit, preventing them from disturbing the
sensitive analog circuitry in the PWM controller.
A typical criterion for choosing the value of CBYP is to
keep the ripple voltage on the VDD supply to ≤5%. This
is often achieved with a value ≥20 times the equivalent
load capacitance CEQV, defined here as QGATE/VDD.
Ceramic capacitors of 0.1µF to 1µF or larger are
common choices, as are dielectrics, such as X5R and
X7R with good temperature characteristics and high
pulse current capability.
If circuit noise affects normal operation, the value of
CBYP may be increased to 50-100 times the CEQV, or
CBYP may be split into two capacitors. One should be a
larger value, based on equivalent load capacitance, and
the other a smaller value, such as 1-10nF mounted
closest to the VDD and GND pins to carry the higher
frequency components of the current pulses. The
bypass capacitor must provide the pulsed current from
both of the driver channels and, if the drivers are
switching simultaneously, the combined peak current
sourced from the CBYP would be twice as large as when
a single channel is switching.
VDD
FAN322x
PWM
The FAN3226-26 family of gate drivers incorporates
fast-reacting input circuits, short propagation delays,
and powerful output stages capable of delivering current
peaks over 2A to facilitate voltage transition times from
under 10ns to over 150ns. The following layout and
connection guidelines are strongly recommended:
Keep high-current output and power ground paths
separate logic and enable input signals and signal
ground paths. This is especially critical when
dealing with TTL-level logic thresholds at driver
inputs and enable pins.

Keep the driver as close to the load as possible to
minimize the length of high-current traces. This
reduces the series inductance to improve highspeed switching, while reducing the loop area that
can radiate EMI to the driver inputs and
surrounding circuitry.


Figure 49. Current Path for MOSFET Turn-on
Figure 50 shows the current path when the gate driver
turns the MOSFET off. Ideally, the driver shunts the
current directly to the source of the MOSFET in a small
circuit loop. For fast turn-off times, the resistance and
inductance in this path should be minimized.
VDD
VDS
CBYP
FAN322x
If the inputs to a channel are not externally
connected, the internal 100k resistors indicated
on block diagrams command a low output. In noisy
environments, it may be necessary to tie inputs of
an unused channel to VDD or GND using short
traces to prevent noise from causing spurious
output switching.
PWM
Many high-speed power circuits can be susceptible
to noise injected from their own output or other
external sources, possibly causing output retriggering. These effects can be obvious if the
circuit is tested in breadboard or non-optimal circuit
layouts with long input, enable, or output leads. For
best results, make connections to all pins as short
and direct as possible.

Layout and Connection Guidelines

The FAN322x is compatible with many other
industry-standard drivers. In single input parts with
enable pins, there is an internal 100k resistor tied
to VDD to enable the driver by default; this should be
considered in the PCB layout.

Operational Waveforms
The FAN3228/FAN3229 truth table indicates the
operational states using the dual-input configuration. In
a non-inverting driver configuration, the IN- pin should
be a logic low signal. If the IN- pin is connected to logic
high, a disable function is realized, and the driver output
remains low regardless of the state of the IN+ pin.
At power-up, the driver output remains low until the VDD
voltage reaches the turn-on threshold. The magnitude of
the OUT pulses rises with VDD until steady-state VDD is
reached. The non-inverting operation illustrated in
Figure 53 shows that the output remains low until the
UVLO threshold is reached, the output is in-phase with
the input.

For the inverting configuration of Figure 52, startup

and the input signal applied to IN–, the OUT pulses are
inverted with respect to the input. At power-up, the
inverted output remains low until the VDD voltage
reaches the turn-on threshold, then it follows the input
with inverted phase.

Truth Table of Logic Operation
Thermal Guidelines
In the forward converter with synchronous rectifier
shown in the typical application diagrams, the
FDMS8660S is a reasonable MOSFET selection. The
gate charge for each SR MOSFET would be 60nC with
VGS = VDD = 7V. At a switching frequency of 500kHz, the
total power dissipation is:
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.
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 • n
(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:
= PTOTAL • JB + TB
PDYNAMIC = 3mA • 7V • 2 = 0.042W
(6)
PTOTAL = 0.46W
(7)
TB = TJ - PTOTAL • JB
(8)
TB = 120°C – 0.46W • 43°C/W = 100°C
(9)
For comparison, replace the SOIC-8 used in the
previous example with the 3x3mm MLP package with
JB = 3.5°C/W. The 3x3mm MLP package could 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.
(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 JB was determined for a similar thermal
design (heat sinking and air flow):
TJ
(5)
The SOIC-8 has a junction-to-board thermal
characterization parameter of JB = 43°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:
n is the number of driver channels in use (1 or 2).
PDYNAMIC = IDYNAMIC • VDD • n
PGATE = 60nC • 7V • 500kHz • 2 = 0.42W
(4)
where:
TJ
= driver junction temperature
JB = (psi) thermal characterization parameter
relating temperature rise to total power
dissipation
TB = board temperature in location defined in Note
1 under Thermal Resistance table.
