High Voltage Synchronous Rectified Buck
MOSFET Driver
Features
The ISL6206 is a high voltage, high frequency, dual
MOSFET driver specifically designed to drive two N-Channel
power MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter
topology in mobile computing applications. This driver
combined with an Intersil Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller
forms a complete single-stage core-voltage regulator
solution for advanced mobile microprocessors.
• Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
The ISL6206 features a three-state PWM input that, working
together with any Intersil multiphase PWM controllers, will
prevent a negative transient on the output voltage when the
output is being shut down. This feature eliminates the
Schottky diode that is usually seen in a microprocessor
power system for protecting the microprocessor from
reversed-output-voltage damage.
• Internal Bootstrap Schottky Diode
The output drivers in the ISL6206 has the capacity to
efficiently switch power MOSFETs at frequencies up to
2MHz. Each driver is capable of driving a 3000pF load with a
15ns propagation delay and 20ns transition time. This
product implements bootstrapping on the upper gate,
reducing implementation complexity and allowing the use of
higher performance, cost effective, N-Channel MOSFETs.
Adaptive shoot-through protection is integrated to prevent
both MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously.

Functional Pin Description
PHASE (Pin 8)
UGATE (Pin 1)
Upper gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the high-side
N-Channel power MOSFET.
Connect this pin to the source of the upper MOSFET and the
drain of the lower MOSFET. This pin provides a return path
for the upper gate driver.
Description
BOOT (Pin 2)
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the upper gate drive.
Connect the bootstrap capacitor between this pin and the
PHASE pin. The bootstrap capacitor provides the charge to
turn on the upper MOSFET. See the Bootstrap Diode and
Capacitor section under DESCRIPTION for guidance in
choosing the appropriate capacitor value.
PWM (Pin 3)
The PWM signal is the control input for the driver. The PWM
signal can enter three distinct states during operation, see the
three-state PWM Input section under DESCRIPTION for further
details. Connect this pin to the PWM output of any Intersil
multiphase controllers.
GND (Pin 4)
Ground pin. All signals are referenced to this node.
LGATE (Pin 5)
Lower gate drive output. Connect to the gate of the low-side
N-Channel power MOSFET.
VCC (Pin 6)
Connect this pin to a +5V bias supply. Place a high quality
bypass capacitor from this pin to GND.
NC (Pin 7)
No connection. Leave this pin floating.
Operation
The ISL6206 dual MOSFET driver controls both high-side and
low-side N-Channel FETs from one externally provided PWM
signal.
A rising edge on PWM initiates the turn-off of the lower
MOSFET (see Timing Diagram). After a short propagation
delay [tPDLLGATE], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall
times [tFLGATE] are provided in the Electrical Specifications
section. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the
LGATE voltage and determines the upper gate delay time
[tPDHUGATE] based on how quickly the LGATE voltage
drops below 1V. This prevents both the lower and upper
MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously or shootthrough. Once this delay period is complete the upper gate
drive begins to rise [tRUGATE] and the upper MOSFET turns
on.
A falling transition on PWM indicates the turn-off of the upper
MOSFET and the turn-on of the lower MOSFET. A short
propagation delay [tPDLUGATE] is encountered before the
upper gate begins to fall [tFUGATE]. Again, the adaptive
shoot-through circuitry determines the lower gate delay time,
tPDHLGATE. The upper MOSFET gate voltage is monitored
and the lower gate is allowed to rise after the upper MOSFET
gate-to-source voltage drops below 1V. The lower gate then
rises [tRLGATE], turning on the lower MOSFET.

ISL6206
Three-state PWM Input
Power Dissipation
A unique feature of the ISL6206 and other Intersil drivers is
the addition of a shutdown window to the PWM input. If the
PWM signal enters and remains within the shutdown window
for a set holdoff time, the output drivers are disabled and
both MOSFET gates are pulled and held low. The shutdown
state is removed when the PWM signal moves outside the
shutdown window. Otherwise, the PWM rising and falling
thresholds outlined in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
determine when the lower and upper gates are enabled.
Package power dissipation is mainly a function of the
switching frequency and total gate charge of the selected
MOSFETs. Calculating the power dissipation in the driver for
a desired application is critical to ensuring safe operation.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation level
will push the IC beyond the maximum recommended
operating junction temperature of 125oC. The maximum
allowable IC power dissipation for the SO-8 package is
approximately 800mW. When designing the driver into an
application, it is recommended that the following calculation
be performed to ensure safe operation at the desired
frequency for the selected MOSFETs. The power dissipated
by the driver is approximated as:
Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
Both drivers incorporate adaptive shoot-through protection
to prevent upper and lower MOSFETs from conducting
simultaneously and shorting the input supply. This is
accomplished by ensuring the gate driver has turned off one
MOSFET before the gate voltage of the other MOSFET is
allowed to rise.
During turn-off of the lower MOSFET, the LGATE voltage is
monitored until it reaches a 1V threshold, at which time the
UGATE is released to rise. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the upper MOSFET gate voltage during UGATE
turn-off. Once the upper MOSFET gate-to-source voltage has
dropped below a threshold of 1V, the LGATE is allowed to
rise.
Bootstrap Diode and Capacitor
This driver features an internal Schottky bootstrap diode.
Simply adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and
PHASE pins completes the bootstrap circuit.
The bootstrap capacitor must have a maximum voltage
rating above the maximum battery voltage plus 5V. The
bootstrap capacitor can be chosen from the following
equation:
Q GATE
C BOOT ≥ -----------------------∆V BOOT
where QGATE is the amount of gate charge required to fully
charge the gate of the upper MOSFET. The ∆VBOOT term is
defined as the allowable droop in the rail of the upper drive.
As an example, suppose an upper MOSFET has a gate
charge, QGATE , of 25nC at 5V and also assume the droop in
the drive voltage over a PWM cycle is 200mV. One will find
that a bootstrap capacitance of at least 0.125µF is required.
The next larger standard value capacitance is 0.22µF. A
good quality ceramic capacitor is recommended.

where fsw is the switching frequency of the PWM signal. VU
and VL represent the upper and lower gate rail voltage. QU
and QL is the upper and lower gate charge determined by
MOSFET selection and any external capacitance added to
the gate pins. The IDDQ VCC product is the quiescent power
of the driver and is negligible
