MOSFET Driver with Dual Outputs for Synchronous Buck onverters The NP3420 is a single Phase 2 V MOSFET gate driver optimized to drive the gates of both high side and low side power MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter. The high side and low side driver is capable of driving a 00 pf load with a propagation delay and a 20 traition time. With a wide operating voltage range, high or low side MOSFET gate drive voltage can be optimized for the best efficiency. Internal adaptive nonoverlap circuitry further reduces switching losses by preventing simultaneous conduction of both MOSFETs. The floating top driver design can accommodate VBST voltages as high as 35 V, with traient voltages as high as 40 V. Both gate outputs can be driven low by applying a low logic level to the Output Disable () pin. An Undervoltage Lockout function eures that both driver outputs are low when the supply voltage is low, and a Thermal Shutdown function provides the I with overtemperature protection.

APPLIATIONS INFORMATION Theory of Operation The NP3420 are single phase MOSFET drivers designed for driving two N channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter topology. The NP3420 will operate from 5 V or 2 V, but have been optimized for high current multi phase buck regulators that convert 2 V rail directly to the core voltage required by complex logic chips. A single PWM input signal is all that is required to properly drive the high side and the low side MOSFETs. Each driver is capable of driving a 3.3 nf load at frequencies up to MHz. Low Side Driver The low side driver is designed to drive a ground referenced low RDS(on) N hannel MOSFET. The voltage rail for the low side driver is internally connected to the V supply and PGND. High Side Driver The high side driver is designed to drive a floating low RDS(on) N channel MOSFET. The gate voltage for the high side driver is developed by a bootstrap circuit referenced to Switch Node (SW) pin. The bootstrap circuit is comprised of an external diode, and an external bootstrap capacitor. When the NP3420 are starting up, the SW pin is at ground, so the bootstrap capacitor will charge up to V through the bootstrap diode See Figure 4. When the PWM input goes high, the high side driver will begin to turn on the high side MOSFET using the stored charge of the bootstrap capacitor. As the high side MOSFET tur on, the SW pin will rise. When the high side MOSFET is fully on, the switch node will be at 2 V, and the BST pin will be at 2 V plus the charge of the bootstrap capacitor (approaching 24 V). The bootstrap capacitor is recharged when the switch node goes low during the next cycle. Safety Timer and Overlap Protection ircuit It is very important that MOSFETs in a synchronous buck regulator do not both conduct at the same time. Excessive shoot through or cross conduction can damage the MOSFETs, and even a small amount of cross conduction will cause a decrease in the power conversion efficiency. The NP3420 prevent cross conduction by monitoring the status of the external mosfets and applying the appropriate amount of dead time or the time between the turn off of one MOSFET and the turn on of the other MOSFET. When the PWM input pin goes high, will go low after a propagation delay (tpdl). The time it takes for the low side MOSFET to turn off (tf) is dependent on the total charge on the low side MOSFET gate. The NP3420 monitor the gate voltage of both MOSFETs and the switchnode voltage to determine the conduction status of the MOSFETs. Once the low side MOSFET is turned off an internal timer will delay (tpdh) the turn on of the high side MOSFET Likewise, when the PWM input pin goes low, will go low after the propagation delay (tpd). The time to turn off the high side MOSFET (tf) is dependent on the total gate charge of the high side MOSFET. A timer will be triggered once the high side mosfet has stopped conducting, to delay (tpdh) the turn on of the low side MOSFET Power Supply Decoupling The NP3420 can source and sink relatively large currents to the gate pi of the external MOSFETs. In order to maintain a cotant and stable supply voltage (V ) a low ESR capacitor should be placed near the power and ground pi. A F to 4.7 F multi layer ceramic capacitor (ML) is usually sufficient. Input Pi The PWM input and the Output Disable pi of the NP3420 have internal protection for Electro Static Discharge (ESD), but in normal operation they present a relatively high input impedance. If the PWM controller does not have internal pull down resistors, they should be added externally to eure that the driver outputs do not go high before the controller has reached its under voltage lockout threshold. The NP53 controller does include a passive internal pull down resistor on the drive on output pin. Bootstrap ircuit The bootstrap circuit uses a charge storage capacitor (BST) and the internal (or an external) diode. Selection of these components can be done after the high side MOSFET has been chosen. The bootstrap capacitor must have a voltage rating that is able to withstand twice the maximum supply voltage. A minimum 50 V rating is recommended. The capacitance is determined using the following equation: BST Q GATE VBST where QGATE is the total gate charge of the high side MOSFET, and VBST is the voltage droop allowed on the high side MOSFET drive. For example, a NTD60N03 has a total gate charge of about n. For an allowed droop of 0 mv, the required bootstrap capacitance is 00 nf. A good quality ceramic capacitor should be used. The bootstrap diode must be rated to withstand the maximum supply voltage plus any peak ringing voltages that may be present on SW. The average forward current can be estimated by: IF(AVG) QGATE fmax where fmax is the maximum switching frequency of the controller. The peak surge current rating should be checked in circuit, since this is dependent on the source impedance of the 2 V supply and the ESR of BST. http://oemi.com 6
