M TC429 6A Single High-Speed, CMOS Power MOSFET Driver Features General Description • • • • The TC429 is a high-speed, single CMOS-level translator and driver. Designed specifically to drive highly capacitive power MOSFET gates, the TC429 features 2.5Ω output impedance and 6A peak output current drive. • • • • High Peak Output Current: 6A Wide Operating Range: 7V to 18V High Impedance CMOS Logic Input Logic Input Threshold Independent of Supply Voltage Low Supply Current - With Logic 1 Input – 5mA Max - With Logic 0 Input – 0.5mA Max Output Voltage Swing Within 25mV of Ground or VDD Short Delay Time: 75nsec Max High Capacitive Load Drive Capability - tRISE, tFALL = 35nsec Max With CLOAD = 2500pF A TTL/CMOS input logic level is translated into an output voltage swing that equals the supply and will swing to within 25mV of ground or VDD. Input voltage swing may equal the supply. Logic input current is under 10µA, making direct interface to CMOS/bipolar switch-mode power supply controllers easy. Input “speed-up” capacitors are not required. The CMOS design minimizes quiescent power supply current. With a logic 1 input, power supply current is 5mA maximum and decreases to 0.5mA for logic 0 inputs. Applications • • • • A 2500pF capacitive load will be driven 18V in 25nsec. The rapid switching times with large capacitive loads minimize MOSFET transition power loss.

TC429 3.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 3.1 Supply Bypassing FIGURE 3-1: INVERTING DRIVER SWITCHING TIME TEST CIRCUIT Charging and discharging large capacitive loads quickly requires large currents. For example, charging a 2500pF load to 18V in 25nsec requires a 1.8A current from the device’s power supply. To ensure low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing. Low-inductance ceramic disk capacitors with short lead lengths (< 0.5 in.) should be used. A 1µF film capacitor in parallel with one or two 0.1µF ceramic disk capacitors normally provides adequate bypassing. VDD = 18V Input 8 2 6 Output 7 CL = 2500pF TC429 4 5 Input: 100kHz, square wave, tRISE = tFALL ≤ 10nsec Grounding The high-current capability of the TC429 demands careful PC board layout for best performance. Since the TC429 is an inverting driver, any ground lead impedance will appear as negative feedback which can degrade switching speed. The feedback is especially noticeable with slow rise-time inputs, such as those produced by an open-collector output with resistor pullup. The TC429 input structure includes about 300mV of hysteresis to ensure clean transitions and freedom from oscillation, but attention to layout is still recommended. Figure 3-3 shows the feedback effect in detail. As the TC429 input begins to go positive, the output goes negative and several amperes of current flow in the ground lead. As little as 0.05Ω of PC trace resistance can produce hundreds of millivolts at the TC429 ground pins. If the driving logic is referenced to power ground, the effective logic input level is reduced and oscillations may result. 90% Input 0V 10% 18V tD1 tF tD2 90% tR 90% Output 10% 0V FIGURE 3-2: 10% SWITCHING SPEED INPUT OUTPUT CL = 2500pF VS = 18V 5V 100ns TIME (100ns/DIV) CL = 2500pF VS = 7V VOLTAGE (5V/DIV) To ensure optimum device performance, separate ground traces should be provided for the logic and power connections. Connecting logic ground directly to the TC429 GND pins ensures full logic drive to the input and fast output switching. Both GND pins should be connected to power ground. +5V VOLTAGE (5V/DIV) 3.2 0.1µF 1µF 1 INPUT OUTPUT 5V 100ns TIME (100ns/DIV) 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.

The N-channel MOSFET input stage transistor drives a 3mA current source load. With a logic “1” input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 5mA. Logic “0” input level signals reduce quiescent current to 500µA maximum. The TC429 input is designed to provide 300mV of hysteresis, providing clean transitions and minimizing output stage current spiking when changing states. Input voltage levels are approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL compatible over the 7V to 18V operating supply range. Input current is less than 10µA over this range. The TC429 can be directly driven by TL494, SG1526/ 1527, SG1524, SE5560 or similar switch-mode power supply integrated circuits. By off-loading the power-driving duties to the TC429, the power supply controller can operate at lower dissipation, improving performance and reliability. DS21416B-page 6 3.4 Power Dissipation CMOS circuits usually permit the user to ignore power dissipation. Logic families such as the 4000 and 74C have outputs that can only supply a few milliamperes of current, and even shorting outputs to ground will not force enough current to destroy the device. The TC429, however, can source or sink several amperes and drive large capacitive loads at high frequency. The package power dissipation limit can easily be exceeded. Therefore, some attention should be given to power dissipation when driving low impedance loads and/or operating at high frequency. The supply current versus frequency and supply current versus capacitive load characteristic curves will aid in determining power dissipation calculations. Table 3-1 lists the maximum operating frequency for several power supply voltages when driving a 2500pF load. More accurate power dissipation figures can be obtained by summing the three power sources. Input signal duty cycle, power supply voltage and capacitive load influence package power dissipation. Given power dissipation and package thermal resistance, the maximum ambient operation temperature is easily calculated. The 8-pin CERDIP junction-toambient thermal resistance is 150°C/W. At +25°C, the package is rated at 800mW maximum dissipation. Maximum allowable chip temperature is +150°C. 2002 Microchip Technology Inc. TC429 Three components make up total package power dissipation: Where: TJ = Maximum allowable junction temperature (+150°C) θJA = Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (150°C/W, CERDIP) • Capacitive load dissipation (PC) • Quiescent power (PQ) • Transition power (PT) The capacitive load-caused dissipation is a direct function of frequency, capacitive load and supply voltage. Note: Ambient operating temperature should not exceed +85°C for IJA devices or +125°C for MJA devices. The package power dissipation is: PC = f C VS2 TABLE 3-1: MAXIMUM OPERATING FREQUENCIES Where: f = Switching frequency C = Capacitive load VS = Supply voltage Quiescent power dissipation depends on input signal duty cycle. A logic low input results in a low-power dissipation mode with only 0.5mA total current drain. Logic high signals raise the current to 5mA maximum.

Power-on oscillations are due to trace size and layout as well as component placement. A ‘quick fix’ for most applications which exhibit power-on oscillation problems is to place approximately 10kΩ in series with the input of the MOSFET driver.
