• Description: Synchronous-rectified Buck Mosfet Drivers
• Manufacturer: Intersil Corporation

The bootstrap device conducts when the lower MOSFET or
it’s body diode conducts and pulls the PHASE node toward
GND. While the bootstrap device conducts, a current path is
formed that refreshes the bootstrap capacitor. Since the
upper gate is driving a MOSFET, the charge removed from
the bootstrap capacitor is equivalent to the total gate charge
of the MOSFET. Therefore, the refresh power required by the
bootstrap capacitor is equivalent to the power used to
charge the gate capacitance of the MOSFET.

The 1.05 factor is a correction factor derived from the
following characterization. The base circuit for characterizing
the drivers for different loading profiles and frequencies is

capacitors. Decoupling capacitors [0.15 F] are added to the
PVCC and VCC pins. The bootstrap capacitor value is
0.01 F.
In Figure 1, C
is varied from 50kHz to 2MHz. PVCC and VCC are tied
together to a +12V supply. Curves do exceed the 800mW
cutoff, but continuous operation above this point is not
recommended.
Figure 2 shows the dissipation in the driver with 3nF loading
on both gates and each individually. Note the higher upper
gate power dissipation which is due to the bootstrap device
refresh cycle. Again PVCC and VCC are tied together and to
a +12V supply.

The impact of loading on power dissipation is shown in
Figure 3. Frequency is held constant while the gate
capacitors are varied from 1nF to 5nF. VCC and PVCC are
tied together and to a +12V supply. Figures 4 through 6
show the same characterization for the HIP6603 with a +5V
supply on PVCC and VCC tied to a +12V supply.
Since both upper and lower gate capacitance can vary,
Figure 7 shows dissipation curves versus lower gate
capacitance with upper gate capacitance held constant at
three different values. These curves apply only to the
HIP6601 due to power supply configuration.
