These devices are ideal for designing a high-performance power supply using switching controllers that do not have MOSFET drivers. The drivers are designed to deliver minimum 2-A peak currents into large capacitive loads. The high-side driver can be configured as ground-reference or as floating-bootstrap. An adaptive dead-time control circuit eliminates shoot-through currents through the main power FETs during switching transitions and provides high efficiency for the buck regulator. The TPS2836 has a noninverting input, while the TPS2837 has an inverting input. These drivers, available in 8-terminal SOIC packages, operate over a junction temperature range of − 40°C to 125°C.

The current rating of the driver is 2 A, source and sink. high-side driver The high-side driver is designed to drive low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 2 A, source and sink. The high-side driver can be configured as a ground-reference driver or a floating bootstrap driver. The internal bootstrap diode is a Schottky for improved drive efficiency. The maximum voltage that can be applied between the BOOT terminal and ground is 30 V. dead-time (DT) control Dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing through the main power FETs during switching transitions by controlling the turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver is not allowed to turn on until the gate drive voltage to the low-side FET is low, and the low-side driver is not allowed to turn on until the voltage at the junction of the power FETs (Vdrain) is low; the TTL-compatible DT terminal connects to the junction of the power FETs. IN The IN terminal is a TTL-compatible digital terminal that is the input control signal for the drivers.

The power-processing section is the most critical and will generate large amounts of EMI if not properly configured. The junction of Q1, Q2, and L1 should be very tight. The connection from Q1 drain to the positive sides of C5, C10, and C11 and the connection from Q2 source to the negative sides of C5, C10, and C11 should be as short as possible. The negative terminals of C7 and C12 should also be connected to Q2 source. Next, the traces from the MOSFET driver to the power switches should be considered. The BOOTLO signal from the junction of Q1 and Q2 carries the large gate drive current pulses and should be as heavy as the gate drive traces. The bypass capacitor (C14) should be tied directly across VCC and PGND. The next most sensitive node is the FB node on the controller (terminal 4 on the TL5001A). This node is very sensitive to noise pickup and should be isolated from the high-current power stage and be as short as possible. The ground around the controller and low-level circuitry should be tied to the power ground as the output. If these three areas are properly laid out, the rest of the circuit should not have other EMI problems and the power supply will be relatively free of noise. www.BDTIC.com/TI POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 11 SLVS224B − NOVEMBER 1999 − REVISED AUGUST 2002 MECHANICAL DATA D (R-PDSO-G**) PLASTIC SMALL-OUTLINE PACKAGE 14 PIN SHOWN 0.050 (1,27) 0.020 (0,51) 0.014 (0,35) 14 0.010 (0,25) M 8 0.008 (0,20) NOM 0.244 (6,20) 0.228 (5,80) 0.157 (4,00) 0.150 (3,81) Gage Plane 0.010 (0,25) 1 7 0°−ā 8° A 0.044 (1,12) 0.016 (0,40) Seating Plane 0.069 (1,75) MAX 0.010 (0,25) 0.004 (0,10) PINS ** 0.004 (0,10) 8 14 16 A MAX 0.197 (5,00) 0.344 (8,75) 0.394 (10,00) A MIN 0.189 (4,80) 0.337 (8,55) 0.386 (9,80) DIM 4040047 / D 10/96 NOTES: A.
