ADP3654
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3654 high current and dual high speed driver is capable
of driving two independent N-channel power MOSFETs. The
driver uses the industry-standard footprint but adds high speed
switching performance.
The wide input voltage range allows the driver to be compatible
with both analog and digital PWM controllers.
Digital power controllers are powered from a low voltage
supply, and the driver is powered from a higher voltage supply.
The ADP3654 driver adds UVLO and hysteresis functions,
allowing safe startup and shutdown of the higher voltage supply
when used with low voltage digital controllers.
The driver is available in thermally enhanced SOIC_N_EP and
MINI_SO_EP packaging to maximize high frequency and
current switching in a small printed circuit board (PCB) area.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP3654 dual driver is optimized for driving two
independent enhancement N-channel MOSFETs or insulated
gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) in high switching frequency
applications.
These applications require high speed, fast rise and fall times, as
well as short propagation delays. The capacitive nature of the
aforementioned gated devices requires high peak current
capability as well.

INPUT DRIVE REQUIREMENTS (INA AND INB)
The ADP3654 is designed to meet the requirements of modern
digital power controllers; the signals are compatible with 3.3 V
logic levels. At the same time, the input structure allows for
input voltages as high as V
An internal pull-down resistor is present at the input, which
guarantees that the power device is off in the event that the
input is left floating.
DD
.
LOW-SIDE DRIVERS (OUTA, OUTB)
The ADP3654 dual drivers are designed to drive ground
referenced N-channel MOSFETs. The bias is internally
connected to the V
supply and PGND.
DD
When ADP3654 is disabled, both low-side gates are held low.
Internal impedance is present between the OUTA pin and GND
and between the OUTB pin and GND; this feature ensures that
the power MOSFET is normally off when bias voltage is not
present.
When interfacing ADP3654 to external MOSFETs, the designer
should consider ways to make a robust design that minimizes
stresses on both the driver and the MOSFETs. These stresses
include exceeding the short time duration voltage ratings on the
OUTA and OUTB pins, as well as the external MOSFET.
Power MOSFETs are usually selected to have a low on resistance
to minimize conduction losses, which usually implies a large
input gate capacitance and gate charge.
SUPPLY CAPACITOR SELECTION
For the supply input (VDD) of the ADP3654, a local bypass
capacitor is recommended to reduce the noise and to supply
some of the peak currents that are drawn.
An improper decoupling can dramatically increase the rise
times because excessive resonance on the OUTA and OUTB
pins can, in some extreme cases, damage the device, due to
inductive overvoltage on the VDD, OUTA, or OUTB pin.
The minimum capacitance required is determined by the size
of the gate capacitances being driven, but as a general rule, a
4.7 μF, low ESR capacitor should be used. Multilayer ceramic
chip (MLCC) capacitors provide the best combination of low
ESR and small size. Use a smaller ceramic capacitor (100 nF)
with a better high frequency characteristic in parallel to the
main capacitor to further reduce noise.
Keep the ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the ADP3654
device and minimize the length of the traces going from the
capacitor to the power pins of the device.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Use the following general guidelines when designing PCBs:
• Trace out the high current paths and use short, wide
• Minimize trace inductance between the OUTA and OUTB
• Connect the PGND pin of the ADP3654 device as closely
• Place the V
• Use vias to other layers, when possible, to maximize

preceding guidelines.

Note that the exposed pad of the package is not directly connected to any pin of the package, but it is electrically and
thermally connected to the die substrate, which is the ground
of the device.
PARALLEL OPERATION
The two driver channels present in the ADP3654 device can be
combined to operate in parallel to increase drive capability and
minimize power dissipation in the driver.
The connection scheme is shown in Figure 17. In this configuration, INA and INB are connected together, and OUTA and
OUTB are connected together.
Particular attention must be paid to the layout in this case to
optimize load sharing between the two drivers.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
When designing a power MOSFET gate drive, the maximum
power dissipation in the driver must be considered to avoid
exceeding maximum junction temperature.
Data on package thermal resistance is provided in Tabl e 2 to
help the designer with this task.
There are several equally important aspects that must be
considered, such as the following:
• Gate charge of the power MOSFET being driven
• Bias voltage value used to power the driver
• Maximum switching frequency of operation
• Value of external gate resistance
• Maximum ambient (and PCB) temperature
• Type of package
All of these factors influence and limit the maximum allowable
power dissipated in the driver.
The gate of a power MOSFET has a nonlinear capacitance
characteristic. For this reason, although the input capacitance
is usually reported in the MOSFET data sheet as C
useful to calculate power losses.
The total gate charge necessary to turn on a power MOSFET
device is usually reported on the device data sheet under Q
This parameter varies from a few nanocoulombs (nC) to several
hundred nC, and is specified at a specific V
GS
or 4.5 V).
The power necessary to charge and then discharge the gate of a
power MOSFET can be calculated as:
P
= VGS × QG × fSW
GATE
where:
V
is the bias voltage powering the driver (VDD).
GS
Q
is the total gate charge.
G
is the maximum switching frequency.
f
SW
The power dissipated for each gate (P
) still needs to be
GATE
multiplied by the number of drivers (in this case, 1 or 2) being
used in each package, and it represents the total power dissipated in charging and discharging the gates of the power
MOSFETs.
Not all of this power is dissipated in the gate driver because part
of it is actually dissipated in the external gate resistor, R
larger the external gate resistor is, the smaller the amount of
power that is dissipated in the gate driver.
In modern switching power applications, the value of the gate
resistor is kept at a minimum to increase switching speed and
minimize switching losses.
In all practical applications where the external resistor is in the
order of a few ohms, the contribution of the external resistor
can be neglected, and the extra loss is assumed in the driver,
providing a good guard band to the power loss calculations.

In addition to the gate charge losses, there are also dc bias
losses, due to the bias current of the driver. This current is
present regardless of the switching.

For example, consider driving two IRFS4310Z MOSFETs with a
of 12 V at a switching frequency of 300 kHz, using an
V
DD
ADP3654 in the SOIC_N_EP package.
The maximum PCB temperature considered for this design is 85°C.
From the MOSFET data sheet, the total gate charge is Q
= 12 V × 120 nC × 300 kHz = 432 mW
P
GATE
P
= 12 V × 1.2 mA = 14.4 mW
DC
P
= 14.4 mW + (2 × 432 mW) = 878.4 mW

The SOIC_N_EP thermal resistance is 59°C/W.
ΔT
= 878.4 mW × 59°C/W = 51.8°C

T

JMAX
This estimated junction temperature does not factor in the
power dissipated in the external gate resistor and, therefore,
provides a certain guard band.
If a lower junction temperature is required by the design,
the MINI_SO_EP package can be used, which provides a
thermal resistance of 43°C/W, so that the maximum junction
temperature is
ΔT
= 878.4 mW × 43°C/W = 37.7°C
J
T
= TA + ΔTJ = 122.7°C ≤ T

Other options to reduce power dissipation in the driver include
reducing the value of the V
bias voltage, reducing switching fre-

quency, and choosing a power MOSFET with smaller gate charge.
