General Description
The Integrated Switch TDA21201 incorporates an intelligent MOSFET driver and two
Power MOSFETs in a single package to form a fully integrated and optimized power
stage of a DC/DC synchronous buck converter including the bootstrap components
for the high-side MOSFET.
The Power MOSFETs are optimized for lowest static and dynamic losses for a 12 V
to sub-3.5 V conversion and can handle up to 30 A output current. The TDA21201 is
manufactured in Infineon´s state-of-the-art multi-chip assembly using a low-Rth 7-Pin

Typical application
A circuit designer will value the Integrated Switch TDA21201 as cost-optimized
power stage solution in high-density DC/DC conversion applications using a Vcc = 12
V input where efficiency and board space is an issue, e.g. in multi-phase
microprocessor supplies on motherboards, in VRMs and servers.
The TDA21201 can also be used to power Logic circuits, Memory banks etc. that
require higher voltages, e.g. 2.5 or 3.3 V. The efficiency of the Integrated Switch and
the overall efficiency of the converter will even go up at these elevated output
voltages compared to the 1.6 V efficiency given later on in this data sheet.

TDA21201
Designing a 12 V to sub-3.3 V converter using the TDA21201
General info
To design a multi-phase converter with a 12 V input simply use in each phase
just one TDA21201 instead of using a MOSFET driver, a high side MOSFET,
bootstrap components, and one or more low side MOSFETs. The entire
converter is completed by the input filter, the output filter and a multi-phase
PWM IC.
Input compatibility to standard PWM controllers / shut-down mode
The Integrated Switch TDA21201 has a high impedance input pin ‘IN’ to be
connected to PWM controller outputs ‘PWM1’, ‘PWM2’ etc. It sinks or sources
only a fraction of a mA from the controller’s output. The TDA21201 is
compatible to standard controller and driver signals in terms of the signal level
(5 V TTL) and in terms of the ‘Low’/’High’ relationship (’Low’ turns the low side
MOSFET on, ‘High` turns the High side MOSFET on).
The TDA21201 can be shut down (the high side MOSFET and the low side
MOSFET is turned off) by applying an input signal V
IN
= 1.2 ... 1.6 V for more
than 1.5 µs typical. This way the TDA21201 reduces the power dissipation by
saving the gate charges of both the high side and the low side MOSFET
during no load conditions. The shutdown state is terminated when V
IN
moves
into the ‘Low’ or ‘High’ threshold.
