description
The TPS2834 and TPS2835 are MOSFET drivers for synchronous-buck power stages. These devices are ideal
for designing a high-performance power supply using switching controllers that do not include on-chip 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 TPS2834 and TPS2835 have additional control functions:
ENABLE, SYNC, and CROWBAR. Both high-side and low-side drivers are off when ENABLE is low. The driver
is configured as a nonsynchronous-buck driver disabling the low-side driver when SYNC is low. The CROWBAR
function turns on the low-side power FET, overriding the IN signal, for overvoltage protection against faulted
high-side power FETs.
The TPS2834 has a noninverting input, while the TPS2835 has an inverting input. These drivers are available
in 14-terminal SOIC and thermally enhanced TSSOP PowerPAD packages and operate over a junction
temperature range of −40°C to 125°C.

DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
I/O
DESCRIPTION
BOOT 14 I Bootstrap terminal. A ceramic capacitor is connected between BOOT and BOOTLO to develop the floating
bootstrap voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The capacitor value is typically between 0.1 µF and 1 µF.
BOOTLO 11 OThis terminal connects to the junction of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
CROWBAR 3 I CROWBAR can to be driven by an external OVP circuit to protect against a short across the high-side
MOSFET. If CROWBAR is driven low, the low-side driver will be turned on and the high-side driver will be
turned off, independent of the status of all other control terminals.
DT 6 I Dead-time control terminal. Connect DT to the junction of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
ENABLE 1 I If ENABLE is low, both drivers are off.
HIGHDR 12 O Output drive for the high-side power MOSFET
IN 2 I Input signal to the MOSFET drivers (noninverting input for the TPS2834; inverting input for the TPS2835).
LOWDR 10 O Output drive for the low-side power MOSFET
NC 4, 9, 13 No internal connection
PGND 7 Power ground. Connect to the FET power ground.
SYNC 5 I Synchronous rectifier enable terminal. If SYNC is low, the low-side driver is always off; If SYNC is high, the
low-side driver provides gate drive to the low-side MOSFET.
VCC 8 I Input supply. Recommended that a 1-µF capacitor be connected from VCC to PGND.
detailed description
low-side driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive low rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. 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 GND-reference driver or as a floating bootstrap
driver. The internal bootstrap diode is a Schottky, for improved drive efficiency. The maximum voltage that can
be applied from BOOT to 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.
ENABLE
The ENABLE terminal enables the drivers. When enable is low, the output drivers are low. ENABLE is a
TTL-compatible digital terminal.
IN
The IN terminal is a TTL-compatible digital terminal that is the input control signal for the drivers. The TPS2834
has a noninverting input; the TPS2835 has an inverting input.

detailed description (continued)
SYNC
The SYNC terminal controls whether the drivers operate in synchronous or nonsynchronous mode. In
synchronous mode, the low-side FET is operated as a synchronous rectifier. In nonsynchronous mode, the
low-side FET is always off. SYNC is a TTL-compatible digital terminal.
CROWBAR
The CROWBAR terminal overrides the normal operation of the driver. When CROWBAR is low, the low-side
FET turns on to act as a clamp, protecting the output voltage of the dc/dc converter against overvoltages due
to a short across the high-side FET. VIN should be fused to protect the low-side FET. CROWBAR is a
TTL-compatible digital terminal.

3. The pullup/pulldown circuits of the drivers are bipolar and MOSFET transistors in parallel. The peak output current rating is the
combined current from the bipolar and MOSFET transistors. The output resistance is the rDS(on) of the MOSFET transistor when
the voltage on the driver output is less than the saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 17 shows the circuit schematic of a 100-kHz synchronous-buck converter implemented with a TL5001A
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller and a TPS2835 driver. The converter operates over an input range from
4.5 V to 12 V and has a 3.3-V output. The circuit can supply 3 A continuous load. The converter achieves an efficiency
of 94% for VIN = 5 V, Iload=1 A, and 93% for VIN = 5 V, Iload = 3 A.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Great care should be taken when laying out the PC board. 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.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
