Description
Features
The SC1301A/B is a cost effective single-channel highspeed MOSFET driver. The driver is capable of driving a
1000pF load in 20ns rise/fall time and has a 60ns propagation delay time from input transition to the gate of the
power MOSFET. The high current driving capability
(2A peak) allows fast switching up to 1MHz. The SC1301A
is noninverting and the SC1301B is inverting.

Applications Information
Using the SC1301A/B for fast switching actions, such as
turning on or turning off the capacitive load will significantly reduce the device switching loss for high frequency
applications. Accordingly, the thermal stress and reliability of the device can be improved.
Due to the non-linear characteristics of the input capacitance of a device, the test load for the SC1301A/B is a
capacitor. Thus, the power from the bias power supply
can be calculated based on this setup. The energy, which
is required to charge the capacitor for turning on process, is calculated by:
The SC1301A/B is a high speed, high peak current
MOSFET driver. It is designed to drive power MOSFETs
with ultra-low rise/fall time and propagation delays. As
the switching frequency of PWM controllers is increased
to reduce power converters volume and cost, fast rise
and fall times are necessary to minimize switching losses.
While discrete solutions can achieve reasonable drive
capability, implementing delay and other housekeeping
functions necessary for safe operation can become
cumbersome and costly. The SC1031A/B presents a total
solution for the high-speed, high power density
applications. A wide input supply range of 4.5V - 16.5V
allows operation in battery powered applications as well
as distributed power systems.

where, C is the load capacitance and V is the voltage
applied to the driver.
Supply Bypass and Layout
A 4.7µF to 10µF tantalum bypass capacitor with low ESR
(equivalent series resistance) and an additional 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel are recommended to control switching and supply transients. Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) metalized film capacitors may also
be used. As with any high speed, high current circuit,
proper layout is critical in achieving optimum performance
of the SC1301A/B. Attention should be paid to the
proper placement of the driver, the switching MOSFET
and the bypass capacitors.
During the turning off process, the same amount of energy will be dissipated in the resistive elements in the
gate drive. Therefore, the energy for one switching action (one turning on and one turning off) will be as
follows:
E total = C ⋅ V 2
The power dissipation due to the gate driving switching is
calculated by:
The driver should be placed as close as possible to eliminate the possibility of oscillation caused by trace inductance and the MOSFET gate capacitance. A resistor in
the range of 10Ω could be used in series with the gate
drive to damp the ringing if the drive output path is not
short enough. The bypass capacitors should be also
placed closely between Vcc and GND of the driver. A
Schottky diode may be connected between the ground
and the output pin to avoid latch-up in some applications.
where, f is switching frequency for a given application.
Below is an example to calculate the power dissipation
for the given application.
Drive Capability and Power Dissipation
Pgate = (200kHz ) ⋅ (1nF )⋅ (12 ) = 29mW
Pgate = f ⋅ C ⋅ V 2
With VCC = 12V, C = 1nF and f = 200kHz, the power loss
for the gate switching actions will be as:

The SC1301A/B is able to deliver 2A peak current typically for driving a capacitive load, such as a MOSFET.
This high peak current will charge the input capacitance
of the device to turn on quickly. A similar amount of current is needed to discharge the capacitance to ground
to turn the device off.

Thermal Information
The lifetime and performance of a driver is basically determined by the drive power requirements of the load,
the thermal characteristics of the driver package and its
cooling method. The driver’s junction temperature must
be kept within the rated limit at all times. The application
system has to effectively remove the heat generated in
the driver in order for proper functions and performance.
If the junction temperature reaches 150oC, the internal
protection circuit will be triggered to shut down the gate
driver.
As shown in the power derating table, the SC1301A/B
has a power limit of 385mW when the ambient temperature is less than 25 oC. As the ambient temperature
reaches 85oC, the allowed maximum power dissipation
for the driver will be 154mW. When the ambient temperature is somewhere between 25oC and 85 oC, the
power dissipation for the driver should be derated according to the table. For each degree increasing of the
ambient temperature, 3.85mW decreasing should be
applied to the driver power dissipation. Possible cooling
methods may include using big pads, natural air-cooling
by a careful layout and forced air-cooling if necessary.
