uP1961S
Dual-Phase MOSFET Drivers
for DCR current sensing with Phase Extension
Features
General Description
Quad MOSFET Drivers for Dual-Phase
The uP1961S is a high performance gate driver IC with
Phase Extension Module (PEM). The PEM interleaves the
single PWM input and drives dual-phase synchronous
buck power stages. The PEM also extracts and passes
the dual-phase current signals to the controller. When
operating with uPI’s VR controllers with DCR current
balance scheme, the uP1961S can double the phase
number with perfect phase interleaving and channel
current balancing.
Buck Converter with Single PWM Input
One PWM Signal Generates Both Drivers
Alternatively Pass DCR Current Signals of Both
Phase to Controller for Current Balance
Tri-State PWM Input for Bridge Shutdown
Output Disable Control for Bridge Shutdown
Bootstrapped High-Side Drivers
Adaptive Anti-Shoot-Through Protection Circuit
Supply Input Under Voltage Lockout
Low Power Dissipation
Each driver is capable of driving a 5000pF load with 30ns
transition time. This device combined with uPI multiphase
buck PWM controller forms a complete core voltage
regulator for advanced microprocessors.
WQFN3x3 - 16L Package
RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
The uP1961S features adaptive anti-shoot-through
protection that prevents cross-conduction of the external
MOSFET while maintains minimum deadtime for optimized
efficiency.
Applications
Core Voltage Supplies for Intel and AMD Mobile
Microprocessors
All gate drivers are turned off by pulling low EN pin or
high-impedance at PWM0 pin, preventing rapid output
capacitor discharge during system shutdowns. Another
feature is supply input under voltage lockout. The uP1961S
is available in thermal enhanced WQFN3x3 - 16L package.
