Synchronous Rectified MOSFET Driver
Features
The ISL6609, ISL6609A is a high frequency, MOSFET driver
optimized to drive two N-Channel power MOSFETs in a
synchronous-rectified buck converter topology. This driver
combined with an Intersil ISL63xx or ISL65xx multiphase
PWM controller forms a complete single-stage core-voltage
regulator solution with high efficiency performance at high
switching frequency for advanced microprocessors.
• Drives Two N-Channel MOSFETs
The IC is biased by a single low voltage supply (5V),
minimizing driver switching losses in high MOSFET gate
capacitance and high switching frequency applications.
Each driver is capable of driving a 3nF load with less than
10ns rise/fall time. Bootstrapping of the upper gate driver is
implemented via an internal low forward drop diode,
reducing implementation cost, 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.
• ISL6605 Replacement with Enhanced Performance
• Low Bias Supply Current
The ISL6609, ISL6609A features 4A typical sink current for
the lower gate driver, enhancing the lower MOSFET gate
hold-down capability during PHASE node rising edge,
preventing power loss caused by the self turn-on of the lower
MOSFET due to the high dV/dt of the switching node.
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)
The ISL6609, ISL6609A also features an input that
recognizes a high-impedance state, working together with
Intersil multiphase PWM controllers to prevent negative
transients on the controlled output voltage when operation is
suspended. This feature eliminates the need for the schottky
diode that may be utilized in a power system to protect the
load from negative output voltage damage. In addition, the
ISL6609A’s bootstrap function is designed to prevent the
BOOT capacitor from overcharging, should excessively large
negative swings occur at the transitions of the PHASE node.

used to turn on the upper MOSFET. See the Bootstrap
Considerations section for guidance in choosing the
appropriate capacitor value.
Enable input pin. Connect this pin high to enable and low to
disable the driver.

Connect this pin to the source of the upper MOSFET. This
pin provides the return path for the upper gate driver current.
Thermal Pad (in QFN only)
PWM (Pin 3)
The PWM signal is the control input for the driver. The PWM

The metal pad underneath the center of the IC is a thermal
substrate. The PCB “thermal land” design for this exposed
die pad should include vias that drop down and connect to
one or more buried copper plane(s). This combination of
vias for vertical heat escape and buried planes for heat
spreading allows the QFN to achieve its full thermal
potential. This pad should be either grounded or floating,
and it should not be connected to other nodes. Refer to
TB389 for design guidelines.

Operation and Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
Designed for high speed switching, the ISL6609/09A MOSFET
driver controls both high-side and low-side N-Channel FETs
from one externally provided PWM signal.
A rising transition 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. Adaptive
shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE voltage and
turns on the upper gate following a short delay time [tPDHU]
after the LGATE voltage drops below ~1V. The upper gate
drive then begins to rise [tRU] 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 [tPDLU] is encountered before the upper
gate begins to fall [tFU]. The adaptive shoot-through circuitry
monitors the UGATE-PHASE voltage and turns on the lower
MOSFET a short delay time, tPDHL, after the upper
MOSFET’s gate voltage drops below 1V. The lower gate then
rises [tRL], turning on the lower MOSFET. These methods
prevent both the lower and upper MOSFETs from conducting
simultaneously (shoot-through), while adapting the dead
time to the gate charge characteristics of the MOSFETs
being used.
This driver is optimized for voltage regulators with large step
down ratio. The lower MOSFET is usually sized larger
compared to the upper MOSFET because the lower
MOSFET conducts for a longer time during a switching
period. The lower gate driver is therefore sized much larger
to meet this application requirement. The 0.4Ω on-resistance
6
and 4A sink current capability enable the lower gate driver to
absorb the current injected into the lower gate through the
drain-to-gate capacitor of the lower MOSFET and help
prevent shoot through caused by the self turn-on of the lower
MOSFET due to high dV/dt of the switching node.
Three-State PWM Input
A unique feature of the ISL6609/09A is the adaptable threestate PWM input. Once the PWM signal enters the shutdown
window, either MOSFET previously conducting is turned off.
If the PWM signal remains within the shutdown window for
longer than the gate turn-off propagation delay of the
previously conducting MOSFET, 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. The PWM rising and
falling thresholds outlined in the Electrical Specifications
determine when the lower and upper gates are enabled.
During normal operation in a typical application, the PWM
rise and fall times through the shutdown window should not
exceed either output’s turn-off propagation delay plus the
MOSFET gate discharge time to ~1V. Abnormally long PWM
signal transition times through the shutdown window will
simply introduce additional dead time between turn off and
turn on of the synchronous bridge’s MOSFETs. For optimal
performance, no more than 100pF parasitic capacitive load
should be present on the PWM line of ISL6609/09A
(assuming an Intersil PWM controller is used).
Bootstrap Considerations
This driver features an internal bootstrap diode. Simply
adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and PHASE
pins completes the bootstrap circuit. The ISL6609A’s internal
FN9221.0
August 10, 2005
ISL6609, ISL6609A
bootstrap resistor is designed to reduce the overcharging of
the bootstrap capacitor when exposed to excessively large
negative voltage swing at the PHASE node. Typically, such
large negative excursions occur in high current applications
that use D2-PAK and D-PAK MOSFETs or excessive layout
parasitic inductance.
The following equation helps select a proper bootstrap
capacitor size:
Q GATE
C BOOT_CAP ≥ -------------------------------------∆V BOOT_CAP
(EQ. 1)
Q G1 • VCC
Q GATE = ------------------------------- • N Q1
V GS1
where QG1 is the amount of gate charge per upper MOSFET
at VGS1 gate-source voltage and NQ1 is the number of
control MOSFETs. The ∆VBOOT_CAP term is defined as the
allowable droop in the rail of the upper gate drive.
As an example, suppose two IRLR7821 FETs are chosen as
the upper MOSFETs. The gate charge, QG, from the data
sheet is 10nC at 4.5V (VGS) gate-source voltage. Then the
QGATE is calculated to be 22nC at VCC level. We will
assume a 200mV droop in drive voltage over the PWM
cycle. We find that a bootstrap capacitance of at least
0.110µF is required. The next larger standard value
capacitance is 0.22µF. A good quality ceramic capacitor is
recommended.

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
SO8 package is approximately 800mW at room temperature,
while the power dissipation capacity in the QFN package,
with an exposed heat escape pad, is slightly better. See
Layout Considerations paragraph for thermal transfer
improvement suggestions. When designing the driver into an
application, it is recommended that the following calculation
is used to ensure safe operation at the desired frequency for
the selected MOSFETs. The total gate drive power losses
due to the gate charge of MOSFETs and the driver’s internal
circuitry and their corresponding average driver current can
be estimated with Equations 2 and 3, respectively,

where the gate charge (QG1 and QG2) is defined at a
particular gate to source voltage (VGS1and VGS2) in the
corresponding MOSFET datasheet; IQ is the driver’s total
quiescent current with no load at both drive outputs; NQ1
and NQ2 are number of upper and lower MOSFETs,
respectively. The IQ VCC product is the quiescent power of
the driver without capacitive load and is typically negligible.
The total gate drive power losses are dissipated among the
resistive components along the transition path. The drive
resistance dissipates a portion of the total gate drive power
losses, the rest will be dissipated by the external gate
resistors (RG1 and RG2, should be a short to avoid
interfering with the operation shoot-through protection
circuitry) and the internal gate resistors (RGI1 and RGI2) of
MOSFETs. Figures 3 and 4 show the typical upper and lower
gate drives turn-on transition path. The power dissipation on
the driver can be roughly estimated as:

Application Information
MOSFET and Driver Selection
The parasitic inductances of the PCB and of the power
devices’ packaging (both upper and lower MOSFETs) can
cause serious ringing, exceeding absolute maximum rating
of the devices. The negative ringing at the edges of the
PHASE node could increase the bootstrap capacitor voltage
through the internal bootstrap diode, and in some cases, it
may overstress the upper MOSFET driver. Careful layout,
proper selection of MOSFETs and packaging, as well as the
proper driver can go a long way toward minimizing such
unwanted stress.
The selection of D2-PAK, or D-PAK packaged MOSFETs, is
a much better match (for the reasons discussed) for the
ISL6609A. Low-profile MOSFETs, such as Direct FETs and
multi-SOURCE leads devices (SO-8, LFPAK, PowerPAK),
have low parasitic lead inductances and can be driven by
either ISL6609 or ISL6609A (assuming proper layout
design). The ISL6609, missing the 3Ω integrated BOOT
resistor, typically yields slightly higher efficiency than the
ISL6609A.
8
A good layout helps reduce the ringing on the switching
node (PHASE) and significantly lower the stress applied to
the output drives. The following advice is meant to lead to an
optimized layout:
• Keep decoupling loops (VCC-GND and BOOT-PHASE) as
short as possible.
• Minimize trace inductance, especially on low-impedance
lines. All power traces (UGATE, PHASE, LGATE, GND,
VCC) should be short and wide, as much as possible.
• Minimize the inductance of the PHASE node. Ideally, the
source of the upper and the drain of the lower MOSFET
should be as close as thermally allowable.
• Minimize the current loop of the output and input power
trains. Short the source connection of the lower MOSFET
to ground as close to the transistor pin as feasible. Input
capacitors (especially ceramic decoupling) should be
placed as close to the drain of upper and source of lower
MOSFETs as possible.
In addition, connecting the thermal pad of the QFN package
to the power ground through a via, or placing a low noise
copper plane underneath the SOIC part is recommended for
high switching frequency, high current applications. This is to
improve heat dissipation and allow the part to achieve its
full thermal potential.
Upper MOSFET Self Turn-On Effects at Startup
Should the driver have insufficient bias voltage applied, its
outputs are floating. If the input bus is energized at a high
dV/dt rate while the driver outputs are floating, because of
self-coupling via the internal CGD of the MOSFET, the
UGATE could momentarily rise up to a level greater than the
threshold voltage of the MOSFET. This could potentially turn
on the upper switch and result in damaging inrush energy.
Therefore, if such a situation (when input bus powered up
before the bias of the controller and driver is ready) could
conceivably be encountered, it is a common practice to
place a resistor (RUGPH) across the gate and source of the
upper MOSFET to suppress the Miller coupling effect. The
value of the resistor depends mainly on the input voltage’s
rate of rise, the CGD/CGS ratio, as well as the gate-source
threshold of the upper MOSFET. A higher dV/dt, a lower
CDS/CGS ratio, and a lower gate-source threshold upper
FET will require a smaller resistor to diminish the effect of
the internal capacitive coupling. For most applications, a
5k to 10kΩ resistor is typically sufficient, not affecting normal
performance and efficiency.
The coupling effect can be roughly estimated with the
following equations, which assume a fixed linear input ramp
and neglect the clamping effect of the body diode of the
upper drive and the bootstrap capacitor. Other parasitic
components such as lead inductances and PCB
capacitances are also not taken into account. These
equations are provided for guidance purpose only.

Therefore, the actual coupling effect should be examined
using a very high impedance (10MΩ or greater) probe to
ensure a safe design margin.
