High Voltage Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Drivers
The ISL6208C is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver,
optimized to drive two N-channel power MOSFETs in a
synchronous-rectified buck converter topology. It is especially
suited for mobile computing applications that require high
efficiency and excellent thermal performance. The driver,
combined with an Intersil multiphase buck PWM controller,
forms a complete single-stage core-voltage regulator solution
for advanced mobile microprocessors.
The ISL6208C features 4A typical sinking current for the lower
gate driver. This current is capable of holding the lower
MOSFET gate off during the rising edge of the phase node. This
prevents shoot-through power loss caused by the high dv/dt of
phase voltages. The operating voltage matches the 30V
breakdown voltage of the MOSFETs commonly used in mobile
computer power supplies.
Features
• Dual MOSFET drives for synchronous rectified bridge
• Adaptive shoot-through protection
• 0.5Ω ON-resistance and 4A sink current capability
• Supports high switching frequency up to 2MHz
- Fast output rise and fall time
- Low propagation delay
• Three-state PWM input for power stage shutdown
• Internal bootstrap Schottky diode
• Low bias supply current (5V, 80µA)
• Diode emulation for enhanced light load efficiency and
prebiased start-up applications
The ISL6208C also features a three-state PWM input that,
working together with Intersil’s multiphase PWM controllers,
will prevent negative voltage output during CPU shutdown. This
feature eliminates a protective Schottky diode usually seen in
microprocessor power systems.
• VCC POR (Power-On-Reset) feature integrated
MOSFET gates can be efficiently switched up to 2MHz using
the ISL6208C. Each driver is capable of driving a 3000pF load
with propagation delays of 8ns and transition times under
10ns. Bootstrapping is implemented with an internal Schottky
diode. This reduces system cost and complexity, while allowing
the use of higher performance MOSFETs. Adaptive
shoot-through protection is integrated to prevent both
MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously.
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
A diode emulation feature is integrated in the ISL6208C to
enhance converter efficiency at light load conditions. This
feature also allows for monotonic start-up into prebiased
outputs. When diode emulation is enabled, the driver will allow
discontinuous conduction mode by detecting when the
inductor current reaches zero and subsequently turning off the
low-side MOSFET gate.
• High input voltage DC/DC converters
• Low three-state shutdown holdoff time (typical 160ns)
• Pin-to-pin compatible with ISL6207
• DFN package
Applications
• Core voltage supplies for Intel™ and AMD™ mobile
microprocessors
• High frequency low profile DC/DC converters
• High current low output voltage DC/DC converters

ISL6208C
Functional Pin Description
Theory of Operation
UGATE
Designed for speed, the ISL6208C dual MOSFET driver controls
both high-side and low-side N-channel FETs from one externally
provided PWM signal.
The UGATE pin is the upper gate drive output. Connect to gate of
the high-side power N-channel MOSFET.
BOOT
BOOT is the floating bootstrap supply pin for the upper gate drive.
Connect the bootstrap capacitor between this pin and the PHASE
pin. The bootstrap capacitor provides the charge to turn on the
upper MOSFET. See “Internal Bootstrap Diode” on page 9 for
guidance in choosing the appropriate capacitor value.
PWM
The PWM signal is the control input for the driver. The PWM signal
can enter three distinct states during operation. See “Three-State
PWM Input” on page 9 for further details. Connect this pin to the
PWM output of the controller.
GND
GND is the ground pin for the IC.
LGATE
LGATE is the lower gate drive output. Connect to gate of the
low-side power N-channel MOSFET.
VCC
Connect the VCC pin to a +5V bias supply. Place a high quality
bypass capacitor from this pin to GND.
FCCM
A rising edge 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” on page 5. Adaptive
shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE voltage. When LGATE
has fallen below 1V, UGATE is allowed to turn ON. This prevents
both the lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting
simultaneously, or shoot-through.
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 upper MOSFET gate-to-source voltage is
monitored, and the lower gate is allowed to rise after the upper
MOSFET gate-to-source voltage drops below 1V. The lower gate
then rises (tRL), turning on the lower MOSFET.
This driver is optimized for converters with large step-down
compared to the upper MOSFET because the lower MOSFET
conducts for a much longer time in a switching period. The lower
gate driver is therefore sized much larger to meet this application
requirement.
The 0.5Ω ON-resistance and 4A sink current capability enables
the lower gate driver to absorb the current injected to the lower
gate through the drain-to-gate capacitor of the lower MOSFET and
prevents a shoot-through caused by the high dv/dt of the phase
node.
The FCCM pin enables or disables Diode Emulation. When FCCM
is LOW, diode emulation is allowed. Otherwise, continuous
conduction mode is forced. See “Diode Emulation” on page 9 for
more detail.
PHASE
Connect the PHASE pin to the source of the upper MOSFET and
the drain of the lower MOSFET. This pin provides a return path for
the upper gate driver.

ISL6208C
Diode emulation allows for higher converter efficiency under light
load situations. With diode emulation active, the ISL6208C will
detect the zero current crossing of the output inductor and turn
off LGATE. This ensures that discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) is achieved. Diode emulation is asynchronous to the PWM
signal. Therefore, the ISL6208C will respond to the FCCM input
immediately after it changes state. Refer to“Typical Performance
Waveforms” on page 8. Note: Intersil does not recommend Diode
Emulation use with rDS(ON) current sensing topologies. The
turn-OFF of the low-side MOSFET can cause gross current
measurement inaccuracies.
Three-State PWM Input
voltage over a PWM cycle is 200mV. One will find that a
bootstrap capacitance of at least 0.125µF is required. The next
larger standard value capacitance is 0.15µF. A good quality
ceramic capacitor is recommended.

The VCC pin of the driver(s) and related VCC or +5V bias supply
pin of the Intersil controller must share a common +5V supply.
Adaptive Shoot-Through
Protection
Both drivers incorporate adaptive shoot-through protection to
prevent upper and lower MOSFETs from conducting
simultaneously and shorting the input supply. This is
accomplished by ensuring the falling gate has turned off one
MOSFET before the other is allowed to turn on.
During turn-off of the lower MOSFET, the LGATE voltage is
monitored until it reaches a 1V threshold, at which time the
UGATE is released to rise. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the upper MOSFET gate-to-source voltage during UGATE
turn-off. Once the upper MOSFET gate-to-source voltage has
dropped below a threshold of 1V, the LGATE is allowed to rise.

addition of a shutdown window to the PWM input. If the PWM
signal enters and remains within the shutdown window for a set
holdoff time, the output drivers are disabled and both MOSFET
gates are pulled and held low. The shutdown state is removed
when the PWM signal moves outside the shutdown window.
Otherwise, the PWM rising and falling thresholds outlined in the
“Electrical Specifications” table on page 5 determine when the
lower and upper gates are enabled.

Power Dissipation
Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the switching
frequency and total gate charge of the selected MOSFETs.
Calculating the power dissipation in the driver for a desired
application is critical to ensuring safe operation. Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation level will push the IC
beyond the maximum recommended operating junction
temperature of +125°C. The maximum allowable IC power
dissipation is approximately 800mW. When designing the driver
into an application, it is recommended that the following
calculation be performed to ensure safe operation at the desired
frequency for the selected MOSFETs. The power dissipated by the
driver is approximated, as shown in Equation 2:
P = f sw  1.5V U Q + V L Q  + I VCC V
U
L
CC
(EQ. 2)
Where fsw is the switching frequency of the PWM signal. VU and
VL represent the upper and lower gate rail voltage. QU and QL is
the upper and lower gate charge determined by MOSFET
selection and any external capacitance added to the gate pins.
The lVCC VCC product is the quiescent power of the driver and is
typically negligible.
This driver features an internal bootstrap Schottky diode. Simply
adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and PHASE pins
completes the bootstrap circuit.
The bootstrap capacitor must have a maximum voltage rating
above the maximum battery voltage plus 5V. The bootstrap
capacitor can be chosen from Equation 1:
Q GATE
C BOOT  -----------------------V BOOT
(EQ. 1)
Where QGATE is the amount of gate charge required to fully
charge the gate of the upper MOSFET. The VBOOT term is
defined as the allowable droop in the rail of the upper drive.
As an example, suppose an upper MOSFET has a gate charge,
QGATE , of 25nC at 5V and also assume the droop in the drive

Layout Considerations
Reducing Phase Ring
The parasitic inductances of the PCB and power devices (both
upper and lower FETs) could cause increased PHASE ringing,
which may lead to voltages that exceed the absolute maximum
rating of the devices. When PHASE rings below ground, the
negative voltage could add charge to the bootstrap capacitor
through the internal bootstrap diode. Under worst-case
conditions, the added charge could overstress the BOOT and/or
PHASE pins. To prevent this from happening, the user should
perform a careful layout inspection to reduce trace inductances,
and select low lead inductance MOSFETs and drivers. D2PAK and
DPAK packaged MOSFETs have high parasitic lead inductances,
as opposed to SOIC-8. If higher inductance MOSFETs must be
used, a Schottky diode is recommended across the lower
MOSFET to clamp negative PHASE ring.
A good layout would help reduce the ringing on the phase and
gate nodes significantly:
• Avoid using vias for decoupling components where possible,
especially in the BOOT-to-PHASE path. Little or no use of vias
for VCC and GND is also recommended. Decoupling loops
should be short.
• All power traces (UGATE, PHASE, LGATE, GND, VCC) should be
short and wide, and avoid using vias. If vias must be used, two
or more vias per layer transition is recommended.
• Keep the SOURCE of the upper FET as close as thermally
possible to the DRAIN of the lower FET.
• Keep the connection in between the SOURCE of lower FET and
power ground wide and short.
• Input capacitors should be placed as close to the DRAIN of the
upper FET and the SOURCE of the lower FET as thermally
possible.
