Functional Description
The AAT4901 is a buffered full-bridge driver IC with
options to allow the device to function as two independent
half-bridges. The output stage is capable of driving output
loads of up to 0.7A and features break-before-make timing and very fast propagation delay time, allowing high
switching speed up to 2MHz. The enable input (EN), when
8
driven low, turns off the driver and reduces the operating
current to less than 1μA. Over-temperature shutdown
protects the AAT4901 in the case of overload or defective
MOSFET. Logic options allow the AAT4901 to be used as a
small DC motor driver with break function, a solenoid
driver, a dual-low-side MOSFET driver, or as a coil driver.
Applications include motor drive, proximity detectors,
electronic locks, and DC-DC converters.

AAT4901
Buffered Power Full Bridge
Application Information
Input Supply Capacitor
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for
the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT4901 and
reduces the surge current drawn from the input power.
A 4.7μF to 10μF X7R or X5R low ESR/ESL ceramic capacitor is selected for the input supply decoupling. To minimize the tray resistance, the capacitor should be placed
as closely as possible to the input pin. This keeps the
high frequency content of input current localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple.
Shoot-Through Protection
The internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs of the
AAT4901 cannot conduct at the same time to prevent
shoot-through current. When the high-side MOSFET
turns on, the low-side MOSFET turns off first; after 5ns
break-before-make time, the high-side MOSFET then
turns on. Similarly, before the low-side MOSFET turns
on, the high-side MOSFET turns off; after a certain
break-before-make time (5ns typ.), the low-side MOSFET
turns on. The dead time between the high-side and lowside turn-on should be kept as low as possible to minimize current flows through the body diode of the highside and/or low-side MOSFET(s). The break-before-make
shoot-through protection significantly reduces losses
associated with the driver at high frequency.
Thermal Calculations
TJ(MAX) - TA
θJA
= IQAC · VCC + QG(tot)FSW · VCC
10
TJ(MAX) = junction temperature of the dice (°C).
TA = ambient temperature (°C).
θJA = thermal resistance (225°C/W).
IQAC = AC quiescent current of the driver (mA).
QG(tot) = total gate charge of external low side MOSFETs
(nC).
FSW = switching frequency (MHz).
The maximum junction temperature for the SC70JW-8
package can be derived from Equation 1:
Eq. 2: TJ(MAX) = PD(MAX) · θJA + TA
For example, if the AAT4901 drives 2 AAT9560 MOSFETs
whose maximum gate charge is specified as 13nC for
VGATE = 5V, the total power dissipation in the driver at a
switching frequency of 1MHz equals:
PD(tot) = 2 · (5V · 13nC · 1MHz) + 5V · 4.0mA = 150mW
Gate Drive Current Ratings
Assuming that the maximum gate charge of the dual
low-side MOSFETs are equal, the maximum gate drive
capability for the designed maximum junction temperature without an external resistor can be derived from
Equation 1:
Eq. 3: QG(MAX) =
In the dual low-side MOSFET driver application, the power
dissipation of the AAT4901 includes the power dissipation
in the MOSFETs due to charging and discharging the gate
capacitance, the AC quiescent current power dissipation,
and transient power in the driver during output transitions. As the transient power is usually very small, its
losses can be ignored. Maximum package power dissipation can be estimated by the following equation:
Eq. 1: PD(MAX) = VCC · IIN =
Where:
1
·
2 · FSW
TJ(MAX) - TA
- IQAC
θJA · VIN
The relationship between gate capacitance, turn-on/
turn-off time, and the MOSFET driver current rating can
be determined by:
Eq. 4: IG(MAX) = CG(MAX) ·
dV
dt
Where:
IG(MAX) = peak drive current for a given voltage
CG(MAX) = maximum gate capacitance
dV = MOSFET gate-to-source voltage
dt = rising time of MOSFET gate-to-source voltage

Typical Applications
2-Phase Synchronous Buck Converter
The most common AAT4901 applications include multiphase DC/DC converter output power stages, DC motor
drive, a dual low-side MOSFET driver, and a 3-state highspeed high-current line driver.
Figure 2 shows a typical configuration when used as a
2-phase buck converter power stage with synchronous
rectification. The EN pin can be used to force outputs
OUTA/OUTB to a high impedance state; this allows the
output inductor to operate in discontinuous condition
mode (DCM) and improves efficiency under light load
conditions. The body diode associated with the low-side
switching device gives the AAT4901 inductive switching
capability, and clamps the LX node at one diode drop
below GND during the break-before-make time. The
multiphase buck converter assures a stable, high-performance topology for high currents and low voltages which
are demanded in computers, workstation, telecom and
datacom servers. Figure 3 illustrates output ripple current reduction due to 2-phase cancellation.
Motor Drive
The AAT4901 is ideally suited for use as an efficient output driver for DC motor control due to its full-bridge
output stage with integrated MOSFETs. The inductive
load switching capability of the AAT4901 eliminates the
need for external diodes during commutation time. In
applications where rotation is always in the same direction, a single half-bridge AAT4900 can be used to drive
a DC motor. If needed to control the rotation in both
directions, full-bridge motor control circuits can be
applied as shown in Figure 4. In this configuration the
motor can be controlled to run clockwise, counter-clockwise, stop rapidly (“regeneration” braking) or free run
(coast) to a stop.

When the voltage applied between the DC motor by the
input(s) logic control is reversed, it could change the
rotation direction. When both outputs (OUTA/OUTB) are
floating, the motor winding acts as a regeneration; the
current inside the motor winding would continue to flow
into the input capacitor through the internal MOSFET
parasitic diode and decay to zero rapidly, stopping the
motor rapidly. When both outputs are connected to the
input supply (or ground) simultaneously, the motor
coasts and the winding current decays slowly due to the
winding resistor until the motor free runs to a stop.
The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the
supply voltage. It can be controlled by simply adjusting
the voltage sent to the motor, but this is quite inefficient.
12
A better method is to switch the motor’s supply on and
off rapidly. If the switching is fast enough, the motor
doesn’t notice it, it only notices the average effect. The
time it takes a motor to speed up and slow down under
switching conditions is dependent on the inertia of the
rotor (basically how heavy it is) and the amount of friction and load torque. Figure 5 shows the speed of a motor
that is being turned on and off at a fairly low switching
frequency. The average speed is around 150, although it
varies quite a bit. If the supply voltage is switched quickly enough, the motor will not have time to change speed
much and the speed will be quite steady. When the duty
cycle (D = TON/T) is increased, the average speed of the
motor increases. Thus the speed is controlled by the duty
cycle of the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).

AAT4901
Buffered Power Full Bridge
There is also a diode connected in reverse across the field
winding, to absorb the current in the field winding when
all four MOSFETs in the bridge are turned off.
The minimum switching frequency is chosen based on
motor characteristics (the equivalent inductance and the
parasitic series resistor) and the percentage of current
variation to the average current specified. The minimum
switching frequency is in direct proportion to the parasitic series resister, and in inverse proportion to the
equivalent inductance and allowable current ripple.
During period (A), to make the motor run forwards, Q4
is turned on, and Q1 has the PWM signal applied to it.
The current path is shown in blue in Figure 7. At period
(B) Q4 is kept on, so when the Q1 PWM signal is off, current can continue to flow around the bottom loop
through Q3’s parasitic diode. At period (C), to make the
motor run backwards or control the speed, Q3 is turned
on, and Q2 has the PWM signal applied to it. At period
(D), Q3 is kept on, so when the Q2 PWM signal is off,
current can continue to flow around the bottom loop
through Q4’s parasitic diode. At period (E), when the
motor is running forwards for example, the motor is now
acting as a generator and forcing current through its
armature, through Q2’s diode, through the battery
(thereby charging the battery) and back through Q3’s
diode.
When driving a high-voltage DC motor, external highvoltage MOSFETs are needed to commutate the motor.
In this application, the AAT4901 can be configured as a
double-ended gate driver, as illustrated in Figure 6.
The full-bridge power stage operates the motor drive control as shown in Figure 7. Each side of the motor can be
connected either to the battery's positive terminal or to
the battery's negative terminal through the switch. Note
that only one MOSFET on each side of the motor may be
turned on at any one time; otherwise the high-side and
low-side MOSFETs will short out the battery and burn out.

Dual Channel, High Speed,
High Current 3-State Line Driver
The AAT4901-3 is ideally suited for dual channel, high
speed, high current 3-state line driver applications such
as CCD clock drivers. The low quiescent power dissipation
makes this part attractive in battery powered products.
The 3A peak drive capability also makes the AAT4901-3
an excellent choice for driving high speed capacitive
lines. The 20ns fast switching/delay time allows clocking
speeds up to 10MHz.
Dual Low-Side MOSFET Driver
The AAT4901-3 is also ideally suited for dual low-side
MOSFET driver applications due to its dual independent
half-bridge output configuration. It can be used in a
push-pull topology as illustrated in Figure 9 or in other
applications which require the ability to drive the
MOSFETs quickly, due to the AAT4901's extremely low
RDS(ON) (240mΩ typ.) and very fast propagation time
(20ns typ.)
