GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3417 is a dual MOSFET driver optimized for driving
two N-channel MOSFETs which are the two switches in a
nonisolated synchronous buck power converter. Each of the
drivers is capable of driving a 3000 pF load with a 20 ns propagation delay and a 30 ns transition time. One of the drivers can
be bootstrapped and is designed to handle the high voltage
slew rate associated with “floating” high side gate drivers.
The ADP3417 includes overlapping drive protection (ODP)
to prevent shoot-through current in the external MOSFETs.

This pin is connected to the buck-switching node, close to the upper MOSFET’s source. It is the floating
return for the upper MOSFET drive signal. It is also used to monitor the switched voltage to prevent turnon of the lower MOSFET until the voltage is below ~1 V. Thus, according to operating conditions, the
high low transition delay is determined at this pin.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADP3417 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

ADP3417
To prevent the overlap of the gate drives during Q2’s turn OFF
and Q1’s turn ON, the overlap circuit provides a internal delay
that is set to 50 ns. When the PWM input signal goes high, Q2
will begin to turn OFF (after a propagation delay), but before
Q1 can turn ON, the overlap protection circuit waits for the
voltage at DRVL to drop to around 10% of VCC. Once the
voltage at DRVL has reached the 10% point, the overlap protection circuit will wait for a 50 ns typical propagation delay. Once
the delay period has expired, Q1 will begin turn ON.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP3417 is a dual MOSFET driver optimized for driving
two N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter
topology. A single PWM input signal is all that is required to
properly drive the high side and the low side FETs. Each driver
is capable of driving a 3 nF load.
A more detailed description of the ADP3417 and its features
follows. Refer to the Functional Block Diagram.
Low Side Driver
The low side driver is designed to drive low RDS(ON) N-channel
MOSFETs. The maximum output resistance for the driver is
3 Ω for sourcing and 2.5 Ω for sinking gate current. The low
output resistance allows the driver to have 25 ns rise times
and 20 ns fall times into a 3 nF load. The bias to the low side
driver is internally connected to the VCC supply and PGND.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Supply Capacitor Selection
For the supply input (VCC) of the ADP3417, a local bypass
capacitor is recommended to reduce the noise and to supply some
of the peak currents drawn. Use a 1 µF, low ESR capacitor.
Multilayer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors provide the best
combination of low ESR and small size. Keep the ceramic capacitor
as close as possible to the ADP3417.
When the driver is enabled, the driver’s output is 180 degrees
out of phase with the PWM input. When the ADP3417 is disabled, the low side gate is held low.
Bootstrap Circuit
The bootstrap circuit uses a charge storage capacitor (CBST) and a
diode, as shown in Figure 1. Selection of these components can
be done after the high side MOSFET has been chosen.
High Side Driver
The high side driver is designed to drive a floating low RDS(ON)
N-channel MOSFET. The maximum output resistance for the
driver is 3 Ω for sourcing and 2.5 Ω for sinking gate current.
The low output resistance allows the driver to have 45 ns rise times
and 20 ns fall times into a 3 nF load. The bias voltage for the
high side driver is developed by an external bootstrap supply
circuit, which is connected between the BST and SW Pins.
The bootstrap capacitor must have a voltage rating that is able
to handle the maximum supply voltage. A minimum 25 V rating
is recommended. The capacitance is determined using the
following equation:
The bootstrap circuit comprises a diode, D1, and bootstrap
capacitor, CBST. When the ADP3417 is starting up, the SW Pin
is at ground, so the bootstrap capacitor will charge up to VCC
through D1. When the PWM input goes high, the high side
driver will begin to turn the high side MOSFET, Q1, ON by
pulling charge out of CBST. As Q1 turns ON, the SW Pin will
rise up to VIN, forcing the BST Pin to VIN + VC(BST), which is
enough gate to source voltage to hold Q1 ON. To complete the
cycle, Q1 is switched OFF by pulling the gate down to the voltage at the SW Pin. When the low side MOSFET, Q2, turns
ON, the SW Pin is pulled to ground. This allows the bootstrap
capacitor to charge up to VCC again. The high side driver’s
output is in phase with the PWM input.
CBST =
QGATE
∆VBST
(1)
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, the IRF7811 has a total gate charge of about
20 nC. For an allowed droop of 200 mV, the required bootstrap capacitance is 100 nF. A good quality ceramic capacitor
should be used.
A small-signal diode can be used for the bootstrap diode due to
the ample gate drive available for the high side MOSFET. The
bootstrap diode must have a minimum 15 V rating to withstand
the maximum boosted supply voltage. The average forward
current can be estimated by:
Overlap Protection Circuit
IF(AVG) ≈ QGATE × f MAX
The overlap protection circuit (OPC) prevents both of the main
power switches, Q1 and Q2, from being ON at the same time.
This is done to prevent shoot-through currents from flowing
through both power switches and the associated losses that can
occur during their ON-OFF transitions. The overlap protection
circuit accomplishes this by adaptively controlling the delay from
Q1’s turn OFF to Q2’s turn ON and by internally setting the
delay from Q2’s turn OFF to Q1’s turn ON.
(2)
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 12 V
supply and the ESR of CBST.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations
Use the following general guidelines when designing printed
circuit boards:
To prevent the overlap of the gate drives during Q1’s turn OFF
and Q2’s turn ON, the overlap circuit monitors the voltage at the
SW Pin. When the PWM input signal goes low, Q1 will begin to
turn OFF (after a propagation delay), but before Q2 can turn ON,
the overlap protection circuit waits for the voltage at the SW Pin
to fall from VIN to 1 V. Once the voltage on the SW Pin has fallen
to 1 V, Q2 will begin turn ON. By waiting for the voltage on the
SW Pin to reach 1 V, the overlap protection circuit ensures that
Q1 is OFF before Q2 turns on, regardless of variations in temperature, supply voltage, gate charge, and drive current.
1. Trace out the high current paths and use short, wide traces
to make these connections.
2. Connect the PGND Pin of the ADP3417 as close as possible
to the source of the lower MOSFET.
3. The VCC bypass capacitor should be located as close as
possible to VCC and PGND Pins.
