MICROSEMI DRF100

DRF100
15V, 8A, 30MHz
MOSFET Driver Hybrid
The DRF100 is a High-Speed Power MOSFET driver with a unique
anti-ring function. It is intended to drive the gate of a power MOSFET
with ≥3nF gate capacitance to 15V at frequencies up to 30MHz. It can
produce output currents ≥8A RMS, while dissipating 60W. The Driver
output can be configured as Inverting or Non-Inverting.

Figure 1, DRF100 Simplified Circuit Diagram
The Simplified DRF100 Circuit Diagram is illustrated above. By including the driver high speed by-pass capacitor (C Internal), the contribution
to the internal parasitic loop inductance of the driver output is greatly reduced. This low parasitic approach, coupled with the Schmitt trigger input (pin 4), Kelvin signal ground (pin 5) and the Anti-Ring Function, provide improved stability and control. 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 OUTPUT (pin 9.)

Figure 2, DRF100 Test Circuit
The Test Circuit illustrated above was used to evaluate the DRF100 (available as an evaluation Board DRF100 / EVALSW.) The input control
signal is applied to the DRF100 via IN(4) and SG(5) pins using RG188. This provides excellent noise immunity and control of the signal
ground currents.

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.
