By including the driver high speed by-pass capacitor (C1), their contribution to the internal parasitic loop inductance of the driver output is greatly reduced. This, coupled with the tight geometry of the hybrid, allows optimal gate drive to the MOSFET. This low parasitic approach, coupled with the Schmitt trigger input (IN), Kelvin signal ground (SG) and the Anti-Ring Function, provide improved stability and control in Kilowatt to Multi-Kilowatt, high Frequency applications. The IN pin is the input for the control signal and is applied to a Schmitt Trigger. Both the FN and IN pins are referenced to the Kelvin ground (SG.) The signal is then applied to the intermediate drivers and level shifters; this section contains proprietary circuitry designed specifically for the ring abatement. The power drivers provide high current to the gate of the MOSFETS. DRF1203 The Function (FN, pin 3) is the invert or non-invert select Pin, it is Internally held high.

The input control signal is applied to the DRF1203 via IN(4) and SG(5) pins using RG188. This provides excellent noise immunity and control of the signal ground currents. 050-4974 Rev D 5-2011 The +VDD inputs (2,6) are by-passed (C1,C2, C4-C9), this is in addition to the internal by-passing mentioned previously. The capacitors used for this function must be capable of supporting the RMS currents and frequency of the gate load. RL set for IDM at VDS max this load is used to evaluate the output performance of the DRF1203.
