GENERAL DESCRIPTION
5V
V
The ADP3415 is a dual MOSFET driver optimized for driving
two N-channel FETs that are the two switches in the nonisolated
synchronous buck power converter topology. Each driver size is
optimized for performance in notebook PC regulators for CPUs
in the 20 A range. The high-side driver can be bootstrapped atop
the switched node of the buck converter as needed to drive the
upper switch and is designed to accommodate the high voltage
slew rate associated with high performance, high frequency
switching. The ADP3415 features an overlapping protection
circuit (OPC); undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that holds the
switches off until the driver is assured of having sufficient voltage
for proper operation; a programmable transition delay; and a
synchronous drive disable pin. The quiescent current, when the
device is disabled, is less than 100 µA.
