RT9611A/B
Application Information
The RT9611A/B is a High frequency, synchronous rectified,
single phase dual MOSFET driver containing Richtek's
advanced MOSFET driver technologies. The RT9611A/B
is designed to be able to adapt from normal MOSFET
driving applications to high performance CPU VR driving
capabilities. The RT9611A/B can be utilized under both
VCC = 5V or VCC = 12V applications which may happen in
different fields of electronics application circuits. In the
efficiency point of view, higher VCC equals higher driving
voltage of UG/LG which may result in higher switching
loss and lower conduction loss of power MOSFETs. The
choice of VCC = 12V or VCC = 5V can be a tradeoff to
optimize system efficiency.
The RT9611A/B are designed to drive both high side and
low side N-MOSFET through external input PWM control
signal. It has power on protection function which held
UGATE and LGATE low before the VCC voltage rises to
higher than rising threshold voltage. After the initialization,
the PWM signal takes the control. The rising PWM signal
first forces the LGATE signal turns low then UGATE signal
is allowed to go high just after a non-overlapping time to
avoid shoot through current. The falling of PWM signal
first forces UGATE to go low. When UGATE and PHASE
signal reach a predetermined low level, LGATE signal is
allowed to turn high.
The PWM signal is acted as “High” if the signal is above
the rising threshold and acted as “Low” if the signal is
below the falling threshold. Any signal level enters and
remains within the shutdown window is considered as “tristate” the output drivers are disabled and both MOSFET
gates are pulled and held low. If left the PWM signal floating,
the pin will be kept around 1.8V by the internal divider and
provide the PWM controller with a recognizable level. OD
pin will also turn off both high/low side MOSFETs when
tied to GND.
The RT9611A/B builds in an internal bootstrap power switch
to replace external bootstrap diode, and this can facilitate
PCB design and reduce total BOM cost of the system.
Hence, no external bootstrap diode is required in real
applications.
The difference of the RT9611A and the RT9611B is the

propagation delay, t UGATEpdh . The RT9611B has
comparatively large tUGATEpdh to further prevent from shoot
through when high side power MOSFETs are going to be
turned on. The long propagation delay of the RT9611B
sacrifices efficiency for compromise of system safety.
Hence, the RT9611A is usually recommended to be
utilized in performance oriented applications, such as high
power density CPU VR or GPU VR.
Non-overlap Control
To prevent the overlap of the gate drives during the UGATE
pull low and the LGATE pull high, the non-overlap circuit
monitors the voltages at the PHASE node and high side
gate drive (UGATE-PHASE). When the PWM input signal
goes low, UGATE begins to pull low (after propagation
delay). Before LGATE can pull high, the non-overlap
protection circuit ensures that the monitored voltages have
gone below 1.1V. Once the monitored voltages fall below
1.1V, LGATE begins to turn high. For short pulse condition,
if the PHASE pin had not gone high after LGATE pulls
low, the LGATE has to wait for 200ns before pull high. By
waiting for the voltages of the PHASE pin and high side
gate drive to fall below 1.1V, the non-overlap protection
circuit ensures that UGATE is low before LGATE pulls
high.
Also to prevent the overlap of the gate drives during LGATE
pull low and UGATE pull high, the non-overlap circuit
monitors the LGATE voltage. When LGATE go below 1.1V,
UGATE is allowed to go high.
Driving Power MOSFETs
The DC input impedance of the power MOSFET is
extremely high. When Vgs1 or Vgs2 is at 12V or 5V, the
gate draws the current only for few nano-amperes. Thus
once the gate has been driven up to “ON” level, the
current could be negligible.
However, the capacitance at the gate to source terminal
should be considered. It requires relatively large currents
to drive the gate up and down 12V (or 5V) rapidly. It is
also required to switch drain current on and off with the
required speed. The required gate drive currents are
calculated as follows.

In Figure 1, the current Ig1 and Ig2 are required to move the

Cgd2 , Cgs1 and Cgs2. Cgs1 and Cgs2 are the capacitors from
gate to source of the high side and the low side power
MOSFETs, respectively. In general data sheets, the Cgs1
and C gs2 are referred as “Ciss” which are the input
capacitors. Cgd1 and Cgd2 are the capacitors from gate to
drain of the high side and the low side power MOSFETs,
respectively and referred to the data sheets as “Crss” the
reverse transfer capacitance. For example, tr1 and tr2 are
the rising time of the high side and the low side power
MOSFETs respectively, the required current Igs1 and Igs2,

the total current required from the gate driving source can
be calculated as following equations :

Ig2 = Igs2 + Igd2 = ( 0.88 + 0.4 ) = 1.28 (A)

Figure 2. Part of Bootstrap Circuit of RT9611A/B
In practice, a low value capacitor CB will lead to the over
charging that could damage the IC. Therefore, to minimize
the risk of overcharging and to reduce the ripple on VCB,
the bootstrap capacitor should not be smaller than 0.1μF,
and the larger the better. In general design, using 1μF can
provide better performance. At least one low ESR capacitor
should be used to provide good local de-coupling. It is
recommended to adopt a ceramic or tantalum capacitor.
Power Dissipation
To prevent driving the IC beyond the maximum
recommended operating junction temperature of 125°C,
it is necessary to calculate the power dissipation
appropriately. This dissipation is a function of switching
frequency and total gate charge of the selected MOSFET.
Figure 3 shows the power dissipation test circuit. CL and

respectively. The bootstrap capacitor value is 1μF.

Figure 4. Power Dissipation vs. Frequency
The operating junction temperature can be calculated from
the power dissipation curves (Figure 4). Assume
V CC = 12V, operating frequency is 200kHz and
CU = CL = 1nF which emulate the input capacitances of
the high side and low side power MOSFETs. From Figure
4, the power dissipation is 100mΩ. Thus, for example,
with the SOP-8 package thermal resistance θJA is 120°C/
W. The operating junction temperature is calculated as :
TJ = (120°C/W x 100mW) + 25°C = 37°C
(11)
where the ambient temperature is 25°C.
Thermal Considerations
For recommended operating condition specifications of
the RT9611A/B, the maximum junction temperature is
125°C and TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to
2N7002
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
CU
3nF SOP-8 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 120°C/
W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board.
For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages, the thermal
20
resistance, θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7
four-layer thermal test board. For WDFN-8EL 3x3
packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 70°C/W on a
standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The

maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated
by the following formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (120°C/W) = 0.833W for

Layout Consideration
Figure 6 shows the schematic circuit of a synchronous
buck converter to implement the RT9611A/B. The
converter operates from 5V to 12V of input Voltage.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 5 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

When layout the PCB, it should be very careful. The power
circuit section is the most critical one. If not configured
properly, it will generate a large amount of EMI. The
junction of Q1, Q2, L2 should be very close.

Next, the trace from UGATE, and LGATE should also be
short to decrease the noise of the driver output signals.
PHASE signals from the junction of the power MOSFET,
carrying the large gate drive current pulses, should be as
heavy as the gate drive trace. The bypass capacitor C4
should be connected to GND directly. Furthermore, the
bootstrap capacitors (CB) should always be placed as close
to the pins of the IC as possible.
