DESCRIPTION
The Si9913 is a dual MOSFET high-speed driver with
break-before-make. It is designed to operate in high frequency
dc-dc switchmode power supplies. The high-side driver is
bootstrapped to handle the high voltage slew rate associated
with “floating” high-side gate drivers. Each driver is capable
of switching a 3000-pF load with 60-ns propogation delay and
25-ns transition time. The Si9913 comes with internal
break-before-make feature to prevent shoot-through current in
the external MOSFETs. A synschronous enable pin is used to

The Si9913 is available in both standard and lead (Pb)-free 8-pin
SOIC packages for operation over the industrial operation range
(−40_C to 85_C).
