The AUIR3240S is a high side mosfet driver for battery
switch application where a very low quiescent current is
required when the driver is on. The AUIR3240S is a
combination of a boost DC/DC converter using an external
inductor and a gate driver. It drives standard level Mosfet
even at low battery voltage. The input is active low to
reduce current consumption.

AUIR3240S
Description
The topology of the AUIR3240S is a boost DC/DC converter working in current mode. K1 is switched on when the gate
voltage is lower than Vgs threshold. When Rs pin reaches Vrs th, K1 is turned off and the inductor charge the gate
capacitor through D. The system cannot restart during Toff after Vrs th has been reached. The DC/DC restart only when
the Gate and the Vcc voltage difference is lower than 12.5V in order to achieve low quiescent current on the power
supply.
To turn off the power Mosfet, the input must be pull high. Then the DC/DC converter is turned and K2 shorts the gate to
Vcc.

Low quiescent current operation when On.
The AUIR3240S is able to operate with a very low quiescent current on the Vcc pin. Nevertheless the supply current
depends also on the leakage of the power mosfet named “I out leakage” on the diagram below.
The leakage current is given when K1 is off. When K1 is on, the current flowing in Vcc is the current charging the inductor.
Therefore the average current on the Vcc is the combination of the current when K1 is ON and OFF. The average current
on the Vcc pin can be calculated using:

Rev 1.1

Ivcc ave = (Iq gate + Iout leakage) ∗
Vgate − Vcc + Vf
+ Iq Vcc on + Iq gate on + Iq NTC
Vcc
With Vgate: the average voltage on the output.
Vgate average = (Vgate peak + Vgsth)/2
Vgate peak can be calculated by:
L
Vgate peak = √
. Ipeak 2 + Vgsth2
Cout
During On operation, the DC/DC works in pulse mode, meaning each time the Vgate-Vcc voltage comes below 12.5V, the
AUIR3240S switches on K1 to recharge the gate voltage. When the Iout leakage is low enough to maintain the DC/DC in
discontinuous mode, the frequency is calculate by:
T=
Ipeak2 ∗L
2∗(Iq gate+Iout leakage)∗(Vgate−Vcc+Vf)
Peak current control
The current in the inductor is limited by the 1V comparator which monitors the voltage across Rs. Due to the delay in the
loop (tdoff K1), the inductor current will exceed the threshold set by:
Vrsth
Rs
At low voltage, the current waveform in the inductor is not anymore linear, but exponential because the sum of the resistor
of K1, the inductor and RS are not any more negligible.

The peak current and ton can be calculated as follow:

Rk1 + Rs + Rl

Where Rl is the resistor of the inductor

AUIR3240S
Output voltage Characteristic
In most of case when the output of the AUIR3240S is able to recharge the capacitor higher than Vgsth, the output voltage
will oscillate between Vgsth and Vgate peak. Vgate peak can be calculated by:
L
Vgate peak = √
∗ Ipeak 2 + Vgsth²
Cout
Minimum operating voltage
While the AUIR3240S operating voltage is specified between 4V and 36V. The minimum voltage is limited by the fact that
the Rs voltage must reach the Vrsth taking account all resistors which limit the inductor current.
Rk1 + Rs + Rl
Vcc min =
∗ Vrsth
Rs
Over-Voltage protection
The AUIR3240S integrates an over-voltage protection in order to protect K1. When Vcc exceed the Over-voltage
threshold, the DC/DC is stopped.
NTC interface
The NTC interface allows the system to have a temperature measurement of the mosfet using one resistor and one NTC.
The NTC must be connected to Vcc and close to the tab of the power Mosfet to have a good temperature sensing. The
system works as a current mirror between NTC_EN and NTC pins. The typical ratio is 2, with 500µA flowing into
NTC_EN, 1mA will flow in the NTC. The current in the NTC is fixed by adjusting R_Ntc and V_Dg_In. With 7k and 5V, the
current in the NTC will be 1mA. The NTC function activated only if NTC_EN is powered.
If the NTC feature function is not used, NTC EN and NTC must be remained floating. The low consumption is achieved
only when the NTC interface is not activated.
Output current measurement
The average current into Rs can be measured by adding a low pass filter before the ADC of the micro controller. Then the
average output current can be evaluated using :
I out av = I Rs av * Vcc / ( Vgate - Vcc )
Knowing the output current can be useful to do a diagnostic on the power Mosfet. If the gate is short, the output current
will be significantly higher than in normal operation.
