High Voltage Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Driver
The ISL6207 is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver,
optimized 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, such as ISL6223, ISL6215,
and ISL6216, forms a complete single-stage core-voltage
regulator solution for advanced mobile microprocessors.
The ISL6207 features 4A typical sink current for the lower gate
driver. The 4A typical sink current is capable of holding the
lower MOSFET gate during the Phase node rising edge to
prevent the shoot-through power loss caused by the high dv/dt
of the Phase node. The operation voltage matches the 30V
breakdown voltage of the MOSFETs commonly used in mobile
computer power supplies.
The ISL6207 also features a three-state PWM input that,
working together with most of 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.
The ISL6207 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
less than a 10ns transition time. This product implements
bootstrapping on the upper gate with an internal bootstrap
Schottky 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.

Functional Pin Description
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.
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.
EN (Pin 7 for SOIC-8, Pin 6 for QFN)
EN is the enable input pin. Connect this pin to HIGH to
enable, and LOW to disable, the IC. When disabled, the IC
draws less than 1A bias current.
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.
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.
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. In
addition, place a 500k resistor to ground from this pin. This
allows for proper three-state operation under all start-up
conditions.
Description
Operation
Designed for speed, the ISL6207 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 [t
PDLLGATE
], the lower gate begins to fall. Typical fall
times [t
FLGATE
] are provided in the Electrical Specifications
section. Adaptive shoot-through circuitry monitors the LGATE
voltage and determines the upper gate delay time
[t
PDHUGATE
], based on how quickly the LGATE voltage drops
below 1V. This prevents both the lower and upper MOSFETs
from conducting simultaneously, or shoot-through. Once this
delay period is completed, the upper gate drive begins to rise
[t
RUGATE
], and the upper MOSFET turns on.
GND (Pin 4 for SOIC-8, Pin 3 for QFN)
GND is the ground pin. All signals are referenced to this node.
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.
