By including the driver high speed by-pass capacitors (C1C8), 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 optimum drive to the gate of the MOSFET. This low parasitic approach, coupled with the Schmitt trigger input, Kelvin signal ground (4,5) and the Anti-Ring Function, provide improved stability and control in Kilowatt to Multi-Kilowatt, High Frequency applications The IN pin (4) is applied to a Schmitt Trigger. The signal is then applied to the intermediate drivers and level shifters; this section contains proprietary circuitry designed specifically for ring abatement. The P channel and N channel power drivers provide the high current to the OUT pin (9). The FUNCTION, FN, pin (3) is used to disable the Anti-Ring function. It is recommended that the device be operated with this function enabled. Func. = Hi (+5V or Float) Anti-Ring on, Func. = Low (0V or GND.) Anti-ring off.

The input control signal is applied to the DRF100 via the IN(4) and SG(5) pins via RG188. This provides excellent noise immunity and control of the signal ground currents. The FN pin is off and unwanted signals can cause erratic behavior, Therefore FN pin is heavily by-passed on the Evaluation board, see FN (3) above. 050-4912 Rev A 2-2006 The +Vcc inputs (2,6) are heavily By-Passed (C1-C3, C5-C7), this is in addition to the internal bypassing mentioned previously. The capacitors used for this function must be capable of supporting the RMS currents and frequency of the load.

The load is 50Ω with no load capacitance, other than the output capacitance of the driver. 050-4912 Rev A 2-2006 Figure 15, Anti-Ring ON Figure 16, Anit-RIng OFF The output waveform with the Anti-Ring function ON is illustrated in Figure 15 and the Anti-Ring function OFF is illustrated in Figure 16. The load is 50Ω + 3nF of capacitance. The ring amplitude in Figure 15 is clearly above the 2-4V threshold voltage of most power MOSFETs, while In Figure 16 we see that the ring peak is at ~ =2V, also see Figure 13. It is most likely that the wave form of Figure 16 will cause a cross conduction in a Bridge or push pull topology. T1 T2 T3 A T4 The real time gating of the FN function is illustrated in Figure 17. At T1 the FN trace (C) is deactivated and at T4 it is reactivated. B The output is shown as trace (B), There is significant ringing on both the leading and tailing edges. Trace (A) is the input control signal C Figure 17 T1 T2 T3 T4 A In Figure 18, trace (B) shows the antiring function active during the pulse. In trace (B) we see the output with a greatly reduced ring amplitude. B Note: load = 50Ω + 3nF, series inductance is estimated at 3nH. A typical MOSFET can exceed this value. 050-4912 Figure 18 Rev A 2-2006 C T1 T2 T3 T4 A B C In Figure 19, we see the anti-ring function FN active for the leading edge only, T2. Figure 20, illustrates the anti-ring function active on the trailing edge only. Figure 19 Note: load = 50Ω + 3nF, series inductance is estimated at 3 nH, A typical MOSFET can exceed this value.
