International Rectifier CHL8510
The IR3537/CHL8510 is a high efficiency gate driver which can switch both high‐side and low‐side N‐channel external MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter. It is intended for use with International Rectifier’s Digital PWM controllers to provide a total voltage regulator (VR) solution for today’s advanced computing applications.FEATURES
● Drives both high‐side and low‐side MOSFETs in a synchronous buck configuration● Large drivers designed to drive 6nF server class FETs o Low‐side driver – 4A source / 6A sink o High‐side driver – 3A source / 4A sink o Transition times & propagation delays < 20ns
● Independent variable gate drive voltage for both high‐ and low‐side drivers from 4.5V to 13.2V o Improves efficiency o Compatible with IR controller VGD feature
● Integrated bootstrap diode o Reduces external component count
● Capable of high switching frequencies from 200kHz up to 1MHz
● Configurable PWM modes of operation o IR Active Tri‐Level (ATL), disables both MOSFETs in 30ns with no hold‐off time o Generic Tri‐State PWM with hold‐off
● Adaptive non‐overlap protection minimizes diode conduction time
● Input supply under voltage protection
● Thermally enhanced 10‐pin DFN package
● Lead free RoHS compliant package, MSL level 1
APPLICATIONS
● Multiphase synchronous buck converter for Server and desktop computers...
