Description
The FAN3100 2 A gate driver is des igned to drive an N-
channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in low -side
sw itching applications by providing high peak current
puls es during the shor t switching interv als. The dr iv er is
available with either TTL (FAN3100T) or CMOS
(FAN3100C) input thresholds. Internal circuitry provides
an under-voltage lockout function by holding the output
LOW until the suppl y voltage i s wi thin the operating range.
The FAN3100 delivers fast MOSFET switching
performance, which helps maximize efficiency in high-
frequency power converter designs.
FAN3100 dri vers incorporate Mi llerDrive™ architecture for
the final output stage. This bipolar-MOSFET combination
prov ides high peak curr ent during the Miller plateau s tage
of the MOSFET turn-on / turn-off process to minimize
sw itching loss, w hile providing rail-to-rail voltage sw ing
and reverse current capabili ty.
The FAN3100 also offers dual inputs that can be
configured to operate in non-inverting or inverting mode
and allow implementation of an enable f unc tion. If one or
both inputs are left unconnected, internal resistors bias
the inputs s uch that the output is pulled LOW to hold the
power MOSFET off.
The FA N3100 is av ailable in a lead-free finish, 2x2 mm, 6-
lead, Molded Leadless Package (MLP) for the smallest
size with excellent thermal performance; or industry-
standard, 5-pin, SOT23.

Applica tions Information
Input Thresholds
The FA N3 100 offers TTL or CMOS input thresholds. In the
FAN3100T, the input thresholds meet industry-standard
TTL logic thres holds , independent of the VDD voltage, and
there is a hysteresis voltage of approximately 0.4 V.
These levels permit the inputs to be driven from a range of
input logic signal levels for w hich a voltage over 2 V is
considered logic HIGH. The driving signal for the TTL
inputs should have fast rising and falling edges w ith a
slew rate of 6 V /µs or fas ter, s o the rise time from 0 to
3.3 V should be 550 ns or les s. With reduc ed slew rate,
circuit noise could cause the driver input voltage to
exceed the hysteresis voltage and retrigger the driver
i nput, causing erratic operation.
In the FAN3100C, the logic i nput thresholds are dependent
on the VDD level and, w ith VDD of 12 V, the logic rising
edge thres hold is approximately 55% of VDD and the input
falling edge threshold is approximately 38% of V DD. The
CMOS input configuration offers a hysteresis voltage of
approximately 17% of VDD. The CMO S inputs can be used
with relatively slow edges (approaching DC) if good
decoupling and bypass techniques are incorporated in the
system design to prevent noise from violating the input
voltage hysteresis w indow . This allow s setting precise
timing intervals by fitting an R-C circuit between the
controlling signal and the IN pin of the driver. The slow
rising edge at the IN pin of the driver introduc es a delay
between the controlling signal and the OUT pin of the
driver.
Static Supply Current
In the IDD (static) typical performance graphs (Figure 9 -
Figure 10 and Figure 15 - Figure 16), the curve is
produced with all inputs floating (OUT is LOW) and
indicates the lowest static IDD current for the tested
configuration. For other states, additional current flow s
through the 100 k resistors on the inputs and outputs
show n in the bloc k diagrams (see Figure 5 - Figure 6). In
these cases, the actual static IDD current is the value
obtained from the curves plus this addi tional current.
MillerDrive™ Gate Drive Tec hnolog y
FAN3100 drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™
architecture show n in Figure 42 for the output stage, a
combination of bipolar and MOS devices capable of
providing large currents over a w ide range of supply
voltage and temperature variations. The bipolar devices
carry the bul k of the current as OUT swings between 1/3
to 2/3 V DD and the MOS devices pul l the output to the high
or low rail.
The purpose of the MillerDrive™ arc hitectur e is to s peed
up s witching by pr oviding the highes t current dur ing the
Miller plateau region when the gate-drain capac itance of
the MOSFET is being charged or discharged as part of the
turn-on / turn-off process.
For applications that hav e zero v oltage sw itching during
the MOSFET turn-on or turn-off interval, the driver
supplies high peak current for fast sw itching even though
the Miller plateau is not present. This situation often
occ urs in sy nchronous rec tif ier applications bec ause the
body diode is generally conducting bef ore the MOSFET is
sw itched on.
The output pin slew rate is determined by VDD voltage and
the load on the output. It is not user adjustable, but if a
slower rise or fall time at the MOSFET gate is needed, a
series resistor can be added.

Under-Voltage Lockout
The FAN3100 start-up logic is optimized to drive ground
referenced N-channel MOSFETs with a under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) f unc tion to ens ure that the IC starts up i n
an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet below the
3.9 V operational lev el, this circ uit holds the output LOW,
regardless of the status of the input pins. After the part is
active, the supply voltage must drop 0.2 V before the part
shuts dow n. This hy steres is helps prev ent chatter when
low VDD supply voltages have noise from the pow er
sw itching. This configuration is not suitable for driving
high-side P-channel MOSFETs because the low output
voltage of the driver w ould turn the P-channel MOSFET on
w ith VDD below 3.9 V.
VDD Bypass Capa citor Guidelin es
To enable this IC to turn a pow er device on quickly, a
local, high-frequency, bypass capacitor CBYP w ith low
ESR and ESL should be connected between the VDD and
GND pins w ith minimal trace length. This capacitor is in
addition to bulk electrolytic capacitance of 10µF to 47µF
often found on driver and controller bias circui ts.
A typical criterion for choosing the value of CBYP is to
keep the ripple v oltage on the V DD supply ≤5%. Often this
is achieved w ith a value 20 times the equivalent load
capacitance CEQV, defined here as Qgate/VDD. Ceramic
capac itors of 0.1µF to 1 µF or l arger are common choices,
as are dielectrics, such as X5R and X7R, w hich have
good temperature characteristics and high pulse current
capability.
If c irc uit nois e af f ects normal operation, the value of CBYP
may be inc reas ed to 50-100 times the CEQV, or CBYP may
be split into tw o capacitors. One should be a l arger value,
based on equivalent load capacitance, and the other a
smaller value, such as 1-10 nF, mounted closest to the
VDD and GND pins to carry the higher-frequency
components of the current pulses.

FAN3100C / FAN3100TSingle 2 A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
Layout and Connection Guidelines
The FAN3100 incorporates fast-reacting input circuits,
short propagation delays, and powerful output stages
capable of deliver ing curr ent peaks ov er 2 A to f ac ilitate
voltage trans ition times f rom under 10 ns to over 100 ns.
The following layout and connection guidelines are
strongl y recommended:
Keep high-current output and pow er ground paths
separate from logic input signals and signal ground
paths. This is especially critical when dealing with
TTL-level logi c thresholds.
Keep the driver as cl ose to the load as possible to
mini mize the length of high-current traces. This
reduces the series inductance to i mprove high-speed
sw itching, while reducing the l oop area that can
radiate EMI to the driver inputs and other surrounding
circuitry.
The FAN3100 is available in two packages wi th
slightly different pinouts, offering similar
performance. In the 6-pin MLP package, Pin 2 is
i nternally connected to the input analog ground and
should be connected to power ground, Pin 5, through
a short di rect path underneath the IC. In the 5-pin
SOT23, the internal analog and power ground
connections are made through separate, individual
bond wires to Pin 2, which should be used as the
common ground point for pow er and control signals.
Many high-speed power ci rcuits can be susceptible
to noise i njected from their ow n output or other
external sources, possibly causing output re-
triggering. These effects can be especi ally obvious i f
the circuit is tested i n breadboard or non-optimal
circuit l ayouts w ith long input, enabl e, or output
leads. For best results, make connections to al l pins
as short and direct as possible.
The turn-on and turn-off current paths should be
mini mized as discussed in the following sections.
Figure 43 shows the pulsed gate drive current path when
the gate driver is supplying gate charge to turn the
MOSFET on. The current is supplied from the local bypass
capacitor, CBYP, and flows through the driver to the
MOSFET gate and to ground. To reach the high peak
currents possible, the resistance and inductance in the
path should be minimized. The localized CBYP acts to
contain the high peak current pulses w ithin this driver-
MOSFET circuit, preventing them from disturbing the
sensitive analog circuitry in the PWM controller.

Thermal Guidelin es
Gate drivers us ed to sw itc h MOSFETs and IGBTs at high
frequencies can dissi pate significant amounts of pow er. It
is impor tant to determine the driver pow er dissipation and
the resulting junction temperature in the application to
ensure that the part is operating within acceptable
temperature limits.
The total power diss ipation in a gate driver is the s um of
two components; PGATE and PDYNAMIC:
PTOTAL = PGATE + PDYNAMIC (1)
Gate Driving Loss: The mos t signif icant power loss
results from supplying gate c urr ent (char ge per unit
time) to sw itch the load MOSFET on and off at the
sw itching frequency. The pow er dissipation that
results from driving a MOSFET at a specified gate-
source voltage, VGS, w ith gate charge, QG, at
sw itching frequency, fSW, is determined by:
PGATE = QG • VGS • fSW
(2)
Dynamic Pre-drive / Shoot-through Current: A pow er
loss resulting from internal current consumption
under dynamic operating conditions, including pin
pull-up / pull-dow n resistors, can be obtained using
the IDD (no-Load) vs. Frequency graphs in Typical
Performance Characteristics to determine the current
IDYNAMIC draw n from VDD under actual operating
conditions:
PDYNAMIC = IDYNAMIC • VDD
(3)
Onc e the power dissipated in the driver is determined, the
driver junction rise with respect to circuit board can be
evaluated using the f ollowing thermal equation, as suming
ψ
JB was determined for a similar thermal design (heat
sinking and air flow):
TJ = PTOTAL
ψ
JB + TB (4)
where:
TJ = driver juncti on temperature
ψ
JB = (psi) thermal characterization parameter
relating temperature rise to total power
dissipation
TB = board temperature in locati on defi ned in the
Thermal Characteristics table.
In a typical f orward c onverter application with 48 V i nput,
as shown in Figure 49, the FDS2672 would be a potential
MOSFET selection. The typical gate charge would be
32 nC w ith V GS = VDD = 10 V. Using a TTL i nput driver at a
sw itching frequency of 500 kHz, the total power
dissipation can be calculated as:
PGATE = 32 nC 10 V • 500 kHz = 0.160 W (5)
PDYNAMIC = 8 mA 10 V = 0.080 W
(6)
PTOTAL = 0.24 W (7)
The 5-pin SOT23 has a junction-to-lead thermal
characterization parameter
ψ
JB = 51°C/W.
In a s ystem applic ation, the localized temperatur e around
the dev ice is a f unc tion of the layout and c onstr uction of
the PCB along with airflow across the surfaces. To
ensure reliable operation, the maximum junction
temperature of the device must be prevented from
exceeding the maximum rating of 150°C; w ith 80%
derating, TJ w ould be limited to 120°C. Rearranging
Equation 4 determines the board temperature r equired to
maintain the junction temperature below 120°C:
TB,MAX = TJ - PTOTAL
ψ
JB (8)
TB,MAX = 120°C 0.24W • 51°C/W = 108°C (9)
For comparison purpos es, r eplace the 5-pin SOT23 used
in the pr evious example with the 6-pin MLP pack age with
ψ
JB = 2.8°C/W. The 6-pin MLP pac kage can operate at a
PCB temperature of 119°C, while maintaining the junction
temperature below 120°C. This illustrates that the
physical ly smaller MLP package w ith thermal pad offers a
mor e conduc tive path to r emov e the heat f rom the dr iver .
Consider the tradeoffs betw een reducing overall circuit
size with junction temperature reduction for increased
reliability.
