MAX15024_11

19-1053; Rev 3; 4/11 Single/Dual, 16ns, High Sink/Source Current Gate Drivers General Description The MAX15024/MAX15025 single/dual, high-speed MOSFET gate drivers are capable of operating at frequencies up to 1MHz with large capacitive loads. The MAX15024 includes internal source-and-sink output transistors with independent outputs allowing for control of the external MOSFET’s rise and fall time. The MAX15024 is a single gate driver capable of sinking an 8A peak current and sourcing a 4A peak current. The MAX15025 is a dual gate driver capable of sinking a 4A peak current and sourcing a 2A peak current. An integrated adjustable LDO voltage regulator provides gatedrive amplitude control and optimization. The MAX15024A and MAX15025A/C accept transistorto-transistor (TTL) input logic levels while the MAX15024B and MAX15025B/D accept CMOS-input logic levels. High sourcing/sinking peak currents, a low propagation delay, and thermally enhanced packages make the MAX15024/MAX15025 ideal for high-frequency and high-power circuits. The MAX15024/MAX15025 operate from a 4.5V to 28V supply. A separate output driver supply input enhances flexibility and permits a softstart of the power MOSFETs used in synchronous rectifiers. The MAX15024/MAX15025 are available in 10-pin TDFN packages and are specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

The MAX15024 single gate driver is capable of sinking an 8A peak current and sourcing a 4A peak current. The MAX15025 dual gate drivers are capable of sinking a 4A peak current and sourcing a 2A peak current. An integrated adjustable low-dropout linear voltage regulator (LDO) provides gate drive amplitude control and optimization. The single gate-driver propagation delay time is minimized and matched between the inverting and noninverting inputs. The dual gate-driver propagation delay is matched between channels. The MAX15024 has a dual input (IN+ and IN-), allows the use of an inverting or noninverting input, and is offered in TTL or CMOS-logic standards. The MAX15025 is offered with configurations of inverting and noninverting inputs with TTL or CMOS standards (see the Selector Guide). Input Control The MAX15024 features inverting and noninverting input terminals. These inputs provide for flexibility of design and use. Connect IN+ to VCC when using IN- as an inverting input. Connect IN- to GND when using IN+ as a noninverting input. Shoot-Through Protection The MAX15024/MAX15025 provide protection that avoids any cross-conduction between the internal pchannel and n-channel devices. It also eliminates shootthrough, thus reducing the quiescent supply current. Exposed Pad (EP) The MAX15024/MAX15025 include an exposed pad allowing greater heat dissipation from the internal die to the outside environment. Solder the exposed pad carefully to GND or thermal pad to enhance the thermal performance. Applications Information Supply Bypassing, Device Grounding, and Placement Ample supply bypassing and device grounding are extremely important because when large external capacitive loads are driven, the peak current at the VDRV pin can approach 4A, while at the PGND pin, the peak current can approach 8A. V DRV drops and ground shifts are forms of negative feedback for inverters and, if excessive, can cause multiple switching when the inverting input is used and the input slew rate is low. The device driving the input should be referenced to the MAX15024/MAX15025 GND. Ground shifts due to insufficient device grounding can disturb other circuits sharing the same AC ground return path. Any series inductance in the VDRV, OUT_, and/or PGND paths can cause oscillations due to the very high di/dt that results when the MAX15024/MAX15025 are switched with any capacitive load. A 0.1µF or larger value ceramic capacitor is recommended for bypassing VDRV to GND and should be placed as close to the pins as possible. When driving very large loads (> 10nF) at minimum rise time, 10µF or more of parallel storage capacitance is recommended. A ground plane is highly recommended to minimize ground return resistance and series inductance. Care should be taken to place the MAX15024/MAX15025 as close as possible to the external MOSFET being driven to further minimize board inductance and AC path resistance. LDO Voltage Regulator Feedback Control The MAX15024/MAX15025 include an internal LDO designed to deliver a stable reference voltage for use as a supply voltage for the internal MOSFET gate drivers. Connect the LDO feedback FB/SET to GND to set VREG to a stable 10V. Connect FB/SET to a resistordivider between VREG and GND to set VREG: VREG = VFB/SET x (1 + R2 / R1) (see Figure 2) VCC Undervoltage Lockout When VCC is below the UVLO threshold, the internal nchannel transistor is ON and the internal p-channel transistor is OFF, holding the output at GND independent of the state of the inputs so that the external MOSFETs remain OFF in the UVLO condition. The UVLO threshold is 3.5V (typ) with 200mV (typ) hysteresis to avoid chattering. When the device is operated at very low temperatures and below the UVLO threshold, the driver output could go high impedance. In this case, it is recommended adding a 10kΩ resistor to PGND to discharge the gate of the external MOSFET (see Figures 4 and 5). 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Single/Dual, 16ns, High Sink/Source Current Gate Drivers Power Dissipation Power dissipation of the MAX15024/MAX15025 consists of three components: the quiescent current, capacitive charge and discharge of internal nodes, and the output current (either capacitive or resistive load). The sum of these components must be kept below the maximum power-dissipation limit. The quiescent current is 700µA typ. The current required to charge and discharge the internal nodes is frequency dependent (see the T ypical Operating Characteristics ). The MAX15024/MAX15025 power dissipation when driving a ground-referenced resistive load is: P = D x RON(MAX) x ILOAD2 where D is the fraction of the period the MAX15024/ MAX15025s’ output pulls high, RON(MAX) is the maximum on-resistance of the device with the output high (p-channel), and ILOAD is the output load current of the MAX15024/MAX15025. For capacitive loads, the power dissipation for each driver is: P = CLOAD x VDRV2 x FREQ where CLOAD is the capacitive load, VDRV is the driver supply voltage, and FREQ is the switching frequency. printed-circuit board (PCB) layout guidelines are recommended when designing with the MAX15024/MAX15025: • Place one or more 1µF decoupling ceramic capacitor(s) from VDRV to PGND as close to the device as possible. At least one storage capacitor of 10µF (min) should be located on the PCB with a low resistance path to the VCC pin of the MAX15024/MAX15025. • There are two AC current loops formed between the device and the gate of the MOSFET being driven. The MOSFET looks like a large capacitance from gate to source when the gate is being pulled low. The active current loop is from MOSFET gate to OUT_ of the MAX15024/MAX15025 to PGND of the MAX15024/MAX15025, and to the source of the MOSFET. When the gate of the MOSFET is being pulled high, the active current loop is from the VDD terminal of the VDRV terminal of decoupling capacitor, to the VDRV of the MAX15024/MAX15025, to the OUT_ of the MAX15024/MAX15025, to the MOSFET gate, to the MOSFET source, and to the negative terminal of the decoupling capacitor. Both charging current loop and discharging current loop are important. It is important to minimize the physical distance and the impedance in these AC current paths. • Keep the device as close as possible to the MOSFET. • In the multilayer PCB, the inner layers should consist of a GND plane containing the discharging and charging current loops. MAX15024/MAX15025 Layout Information The MAX15024/MAX15025 MOSFET drivers source and sink large currents to create very fast rise and fall edges at the gate of the switching MOSFET. The high di/dt can cause unacceptable ringing if the trace lengths and impedances are not well controlled.
