RT9612A/B
Synchronous-Rectified Buck MOSFET Driver
General Description
Features
ꢀ Drive Two N-MOSFETs
The RT9612A/B is a high frequency, synchronous rectified,
single phase dual MOSFET driver designed to adapt from
normal MOSFET driving applications to high performance
CPU VR driving capabilities.
ꢀ Adaptive Shoot Through Protection
ꢀ Embedded Bootstrap Diode
ꢀ Support High Switching Frequency
ꢀ Fast Output Rise Time
The RT9612A/B can be utilized under both VCC = 5V or
VCC = 12V applications. The RT9612A/B also builds in an
internal power switch to replace external boot strap diode.
The RT9612A/B can support switching frequency efficiently
up to 500kHz. The RT9612A/B has the UGATE driving
circuit and the LGATE driving circuit for synchronous
rectified DC/DC converter applications. The driving rise/
fall time capability is designed within 30ns and the shoot
through protection mechanism is designed to prevent shoot
through of high side and low side power MOSFETs. The
RT9612A/B has PWM tri-state shut down function which
can force driver output into high impedance.
ꢀ Tri-State Input for Bridge Shutdown
ꢀ Small SOP-8, SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and 8-Lead
WDFN Packages
ꢀ RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
Applications
ꢀ Core Voltage Supplies forDesktop, Motherboard CPU
ꢀ High Frequency Low ProfileDC/DC Converters
ꢀ High Current Low VoltageDC/DC Converters
Ordering Information
RT9612A/B
The difference of the RT9612A and the RT9612B is the
propagation delay, tUGATEpdh. The RT9612B has
comparatively large tUGATEpdh than RT9612B. Hence, the
RT9612A is usually recommended to be utilized in
performance oriented applications, such as high power
density CPU VR orGPU VR. The RT9612A/B comes in a
small footprint with SOP-8, SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and
WDFN-8EL 3x3.
