ISL6208 ® Data Sheet March 2004 High Voltage Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Driver The ISL6208 is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver, optimized to drive two N-Channel power MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter topology. It is especially suited for mobile computing applications that require high efficiency and excellent thermal performance. This driver, combined with an Intersil multiphase Buck PWM controller, forms a complete single-stage core-voltage regulator solution for advanced mobile microprocessors. The ISL6208 features 4A typical sinking current for the lower gate driver. This current is capable of holding the lower MOSFET gate off during the rising edge of the Phase node. This prevents shoot-through power loss caused by the high dv/dt of phase voltages. The operating voltage matches the 30V breakdown voltage of the MOSFETs commonly used in mobile computer power supplies. The ISL6208 also features a three-state PWM input that, working together with Intersil’s multiphase PWM controllers, will prevent negative voltage output during CPU shutdown. This feature eliminates a protective Schottky diode usually seen in a microprocessor power systems. MOSFET gates can be efficiently switched up to 2MHz using the ISL6208. Each driver is capable of driving a 3000pF load with propagation delays of 8ns and transition times under 10ns. Bootstrapping is implemented with an internal Schottky diode. This reduces system cost and complexity, while allowing the use of higher performance MOSFETs. Adaptive shoot-through protection is integrated to prevent both MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously. A diode emulation feature is integrated in the ISL6208 to enhance converter efficiency at light load conditions. This feature also allows for monotonic start-up into pre-biased outputs. When diode emulation is enabled, the driver will allow discontinuous conduction mode by detecting when the inductor current reaches zero and subsequently turning off the low side MOSFET gate.

Guaranteed by design, not tested. 4 ISL6208 Functional Pin Description continuous conduction mode is forced. See the Diode Emulation section under DESCRIPTION for more detail. UGATE (Pin 1 for SOIC-8, Pin 8 for QFN) The UGATE pin is the upper gate drive output. Connect to the gate of high-side power N-Channel MOSFET. BOOT (Pin 2 for SOIC-8, Pin 1 for QFN) BOOT is the 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 for SOIC-8, Pin 2 for QFN) 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 the controller. GND (Pin 4 for SOIC-8, Pin 3 for QFN) GND is the ground pin for the IC. LGATE (Pin 5 for SOIC-8, Pin 4 for QFN) LGATE is the lower gate drive output. Connect to gate of the low-side power N-Channel MOSFET. VCC (Pin 6 for SOIC-8, Pin 5 for QFN) Connect the VCC pin to a +5V bias supply. Place a high quality bypass capacitor from this pin to GND. FCCM (Pin 7 for SOIC-8, Pin 6 for QFN) PHASE (Pin 8 for SOIC-8, Pin 7 for QFN) Connect the PHASE 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 Theory of Operation Designed for speed, the ISL6208 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 [tPDLL], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall times [tFL] are provided in the Electrical Specifications section. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE voltage. When LGATE has fallen below 1V, UGATE is allowed to turn ON. This prevents both the lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting simultaneously, or shootthrough. 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 [tPDLU] is encountered before the upper gate begins to fall [tFU]. The upper MOSFET gate-to-source 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 [tRL], turning on the lower MOSFET. The FCCM pin enables or disables Diode Emulation. When FCCM is LOW, diode emulation is allowed.

The lower gate driver is therefore sized much larger to meet this application requirement. 6 The 0.5Ω on-resistance and 4A sink current capability enable the lower gate driver to absorb the current injected to the lower gate through the drain-to-gate capacitor of the lower MOSFET and prevent a shoot through caused by the high dv/dt of the phase node.

PRE-BIASED STARTUP IN DCM MODE 7 ISL6208 Diode Emulation 2.0 1.8 1.6 CBOOT_CAP (µF) Diode emulation allows for higher converter efficiency under light-load situations. With diode emulation active, the ISL6208 will detect the zero current crossing of the output inductor and turn off LGATE. This ensures that discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is achieved. Diode emulation is asynchronous to the PWM signal. Therefore, the ISL6208 will respond to the FCCM input immediately after it changes state. Refer to the waveforms on page 7. 0.2 Internal Bootstrap Diode This driver features an internal bootstrap Schottky 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 (EQ. 1) 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 0.15µF. A good quality ceramic capacitor is recommended. 8 QGATE = 100nC 20nC 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 ∆VBOOT_CAP (V) 0.8 0.9 1.0 FIGURE 8. BOOTSTRAP CAPACITANCE vs BOOT RIPPLE VOLTAGE Power Dissipation 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 125°C. 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: P = f sw ( 1.5V U Q + V L Q ) + I VCC V U L CC (EQ. 2) 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 lVCC VCC product is the quiescent power of the driver and is typically negligible. 1000 QU =100nC QL =200nC 900 QU =50nC QL =100nC QU =50nC QL=50nC 800 700 POWER (mW) 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-to-source 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. 0.8 nC 50 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 falling gate has turned off one MOSFET before the other is allowed to turn on. 1.0 0.4 Three-State PWM Input Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection 1.2 0.6 NOTE: Intersil does not recommend Diode Emulation use with rDS(ON) current sensing topologies. The turn-OFF of the low side MOSFET can cause gross current measurement inaccuracies. A unique feature of the ISL6208 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. 1.4 QU =20nC QL=50nC 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 FREQUENCY (kHz) FIGURE 9.
