Semtech Corporation SC1210
The SC1210 is a high speed, dual output driver designed to drive high-side and low-side MOSFETs in a synchronous Buck converter. These drivers can work with many Semtech PWM controllers to provide a cost effective multi-phase voltage regulator for advanced microprocessors. The adaptive overlap protection circuit ensures the bottom FET does not turn on until the top FET source has reached 1V, to prevent crossconduction.DESCRIPTION
A 30ns max propagation delay from input transition to the gate of the power FET’s guarantees operation at high switching frequencies. Internal overlap protection circuit prevents shoot-through from Vin to PGND in the main and synchronous MOSFETs. 8.5V gate drive provides optimum enhancement of MOSFETs at minimum driver and MOSFET switching loss. High current drive capability allows fast switching, thus reducing switching losses at high (up to 1.5MHz) frequencies without causing thermal stress on the driver. Under-voltage-lockout and over-temperature shutdown features are included for proper protection and safe operation. Timed latches and improved robustness are built into the safty functions such as the Under Voltage Lockout and adaptive Shoot-through protection circuitry to prevent false triggering. The SC1210 is offered in a standard SO-8 package. SC1210FEATURES
