SC1205H Datasheet, PDF (1/13 Pages) Semtech Corporation – high speed syncronous power mosfet driver

POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC1205H is a cost effective, High Drive Voltage,
Dual MOS.ET Driver designed for switching High and Low
side Power MOS.ETs. Each driver is capable of Ultra-
fast rise/fall times as well as a 20ns max propagation
delay from input transition to the gate of the power .ET’s.
An internal Overlap Protection circuit prevents shoot-
through from Vin to GND in the main and synchronous
MOS.ETs. The Adaptive Overlap Protection circuit en-
sures the Bottom .ET does not turn on until the Top .ET
source has reached a voltage low enough to prevent
cross-conduction.
Higher gate voltage drive capability of 8V (top and
bottom) optimally reduces Rds_on of power MOS.ETs
without excessive driver and .ET switching losses. The
high current drive capability (5A peak) allows fast switch-
ing, thus reducing switching losses at high (up to 1MHz)
frequencies without causing thermal stress on the driver.
The high voltage CMOS process allows operation from 5-
18 Volts at top MOS.ET drain, thus making SC1205H
suitable for battery powered applications. Connecting
Enable pin (EN) to logic low shuts down both drives and
reduces operating current to less than 10µA.
An under-voltage-lock-out and overtemperature shut-
down feature is included to guarantee proper and safe
operation. The SC1205H is offered in a standard SO-8
package.
