General Description
The FDMF8704 is a fully optimized integrated Driver plus
MOSFET power stage solution for high current synchronous
buck DC-DC applications. The device integrates a driver IC and
two Power MOSFETs into a space saving, MLP 8x8, 56-pin
package. Fairchild Semiconductor’s integrated approach
optimizes the complete switching power stage with regards to
driver to FET dynamic performance, system inductance and
overall solution ON resistance. Package parasitics and
problematical layouts associated with conventional discrete
solutions are greatly reduced. This integrated approach results
in significant board space saving, therefore maximizing footprint
power density. This solution is based on the Intel™ DrMOS
specification.

Functional Description
The FDMF8704 is a driver plus FET module optimized for
synchronous buck converter topology. A single PWM input
signal is all that is required to properly drive the high-side and
the low-side MOSFETs. Each part is capable of driving speeds
up to 1MHz.
Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver (LDRV) is designed to drive a ground
referenced low R
is internally connected between VCIN and CGND. When the
driver is enabled, the driver's output is 180° out of phase with
the PWM input. When the driver is disabled (DISB = 0V), LDRV
is held low.
High-Side Driver
The high-side driver (HDRV) is designed to drive a floating
N-channel MOSFET. The bias voltage for the high-side driver is
developed by a bootstrap supply circuit, consisting of the
external diode and external bootstrap capacitor (C
start-up, VSWH is held at PGND, allowing C
VCIN through the internal diode. When the PWM input goes
high, HDRV will begin to charge the high-side MOSFET's gate
(Q1). During this transition, charge is removed from C
delivered to Q1's gate. As Q1 turns on, VSWH rises to V
forcing the BOOT pin to V
sufficient VGS enhancement for Q1. To complete the switching
cycle, Q1 is turned off by pulling HDRV to VSWH. C
recharged to VCIN when VSWH falls to PGND. HDRV output is
in phase with the PWM input. When the driver is disabled, the
high-side gate is held low.

Adaptive Gate Drive Circuit
The driver IC embodies an advanced design that ensures
minimum MOSFET dead-time while eliminating potential shootthrough (cross-conduction) currents. It senses the state of the
MOSFETs and adjusts the gate drive, adaptively, to ensure they
do not conduct simultaneously. Refer to Figure 4 and 5 for the
relevant timing waveforms. To prevent overlap during the lowto-high switching transition (Q2 OFF to Q1 ON), the adaptive
circuitry monitors the voltage at the LDRV pin. When the PWM
signal goes HIGH, Q2 will begin to turn OFF after some
propagation delay (t

PCB Layout Guideline
Figure 19. shows a proper layout example of FDMF8704 and
critical parts. All of high current flow path, such as V
V
and GND copper, should be short and wide for better and
OUT
stable current flow, heat radiation and system performance.
Following is a guideline which the PCB designer should
consider:
1. Input bypass capacitors should be close to V
of FDMF8704 to help reduce input current ripple component
induced by switching operation.

2. It is critical that the VSWH copper has minimum area for
lower switching noise emission. VSWH copper trace should
also be wide enough for high current flow. Other signal routing
path, such as PWM IN and BOOT signal, should be considered
with care to avoid noise pickup from VSWH copper area.
3. Output inductor location should be as close as possible to the
FDMF8704 for lower power loss due to copper trace.
4. Snubber for suppressing ringing and spiking of VSWH
voltage should be placed near the FDMF8704. The resistor and
capacitor need to be of proper size for power dissipation.
5. Place boot diode, ceramic bypass capacitor and boot
capacitor as close to V
and BOOT pin of FDMF8704 in order
CIN
to supply stable power. Routing width and length should also be
considered
6. Use multiple Vias on each copper area to interconnect each
top, inner and bottom layer to help smooth current flow and heat
conduction. Vias should be relatively large and of reasonable
inductance.
