Description
The AUIR3241S is a high side Mosfet driver for back to back topology targeting back to back switch. It features a very low
quiescent current both on and off state. The AUIR3241S 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 controls the gate voltage. The AUIR3241S
integrates an under voltage lock out protection to prevent to drive the Mosfet in linear mode.

Input Circuitry
The input control circuitry drives the output gate driver stage. The input is active high. With a low level input voltage, the gate is shorted to the
source. With a high level input, the output gate driver turn on when Vout reaches Vout_th.

AUIR3241S
Description
The topology of the AUIR3241S is a boost DC/DC converter working in current mode. The DC/DC is working once the AUIR3241S is powered
regardless the input level.
K1 is switched on when the gate voltage is lower than Vout threshold. When Rs pin reaches Vrs th, K1 is turned off and the inductor charges the
Out capacitor through D. The system cannot restart during Toff after Vrs th has been reached. The DC/DC restart only when the Out and the
Vcc voltage difference is lower than Vout_th in order to achieve low quiescent current on the power supply.
To turn off the power Mosfet, the input must be low. Then K2 is turned off and K3 shorts the gate to the source.

Low quiescent current operation when On.
The AUIR3241S 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 “Iq gate” 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:
Vout − Vcc + Vf
+ Iq Vcc on + Iq Out on
Vcc
Vout − Vcc + Vf
I Vcc average off = (Iq gate + Iq Out Off) ∗
+ Iq Vcc off + Iq Out off
Vcc
I Vcc average on = (Iq gate + Iq Out On) ∗
With Vout: the average voltage on the output.
Vout average = (Vout peak + Vout th)/2
Vout peak can be calculated by:
L
Vout peak = √
. Ipeak 2 + Vout th2

AUIR3241S
During On operation, the DC/DC works in pulse mode, meaning each time the Vout-Vcc voltage comes below 12.5V, the AUIR3241S 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+Iq Vout on)∗(Vout−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:

Vrs_th ∗ Rs ∗ Vcc
Where Rl is the resistor of the inductor

The peak current can be solved by:
Rdson k1+Rs+Rl

AUIR3241S
Output capacitor choice
The output capacitor must be chosen based on 2 criteria:
During the turn on of K2, the voltage drop on Cout must not trigger the Under Voltage Lockout due to the gate charge of the Power
Mosfet.
Cout >
-
Q gate total Power Mosfet
(Voutth –UVLO ) Min.
When K1 turn off and the inductor is charging Cout, the peak current on the output capacitor must be limited in order to avoid having
current flowing in the Gate zener diode:
Cout >
L ∗ Ipeak 2 max
Vz min gate ² − Vout th max²
Vz min gate is the minimum Zener voltage of the external gate Zener diode.
Minimum operating voltage
While the AUIR3241S operating voltage is specified between 3V and 36V. The 3V minimum operating voltage is when the Vcc is going down.
The minimum voltage is also limited by the fact that the Rs voltage must reach the Vrsth taking account all resistors which limit the inductor
current.
Rdson k1 + Rs + Rl
Vcc min =
∗ Vrsth
Rs
Over-Voltage protection
The AUIR3241S integrates an over-voltage protection in order to protect K1. When Vcc exceed the Over-voltage threshold, the DC/DC is
stopped.
Under voltage lockout - Diagnostic
In order to avoid to drive the Power Mosfet in linear mode, the AUIR3241S features an under voltage lockout. During the turn on, the gate will
not be powered until Vout-Vcc reaches Vout th, meaning K2 is off and K3 is on. Then the AUIR3241S powers the gate of the mosfet. If Vout-Vcc
goes below UV_LO, the gate is shorted to the source and the part is latched. A cycle in the input is required to reset the latch. The input must be
kept low longer than Treset.

When the part is latched a current source (I latch UV_LO) is connected between Out and Vcc to increase the current consumption. By
monitoring the current consumption the system can have a diagnostic of the output status. The diagnostic can be analog or digital.

Analog Diagnostic: Output current measurement
The average current into Rs can be measured by adding a low pass filter before the ADC of the micro controller.
Current measurement

Figure 8
Then the average output current can be evaluated using :
I out av = I Rs av * Vcc / ( Vout - Vcc )
Knowing the output current can be useful to do a diagnostic on the power Mosfet. If the gate is shorted, the output current will be significantly
higher than in normal operation.
Digital diagnostic
By adding a diode during high current consumption mode, the output voltage can be close to 1V. Using a bipolar with a pull-up resistor will
provide a digital diagnostic.
