GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3410 is a dual MOSFET driver optimized for driving
two N-channel FETs that are the two switches in the non-
isolated synchronous buck power converter topology. Each of
the drivers is capable of driving a 3000 pF load with a 20 ns
propagation delay and a 30 ns transition time. One of the drivers
can be bootstrapped, and is designed to handle the high-voltage
slew rate associated with “floating” high-side gate drivers. The
ADP3410 has several protection features: overlapping drive
prevention (ODP), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with perform-
ance specified at very low VCC levels, and overvoltage protection
(OVP) that can be used to monitor either the input or output.
Additional features include: programmable transition delay, a
synchronous drive override control pin, a synchronous drive
status monitor and, in conjunction with exiting from the UVLO
mode, a VCC Good (VCCGD) signal capable of driving a 10 mA
load. The quiescent current, when the device is disabled, is less
than 10 µA.
