3Description
The CSD95375Q4M NexFET™ Power Stage is a
highly optimized design for use in a high power, high
density Synchronous Buck converter. This product
integrates the driver IC and NexFET technology to
complete the power stage switching function. The
driver IC has a built-in selectable diode emulation
function that enables DCM operation to improve light
load efficiency. In addition, the driver IC supports
ULQ mode that enables Connected Standby for
Windows™ 8. With the PWM input in tri-state,
quiescent currentis reduced to 130 µA, with
immediate response. When SKIP# is held at tri-state,
the current is reduced to 8 µA (typically 20 µs is
required to resume switching). This combination
produces a high current, high efficiency, and high
speed switching device in a small 3.5 × 4.5-mm
outline package. In addition, the PCB footprint has
been optimized to help reduce design time and
simplify the completion of the overall system design.

1SKIP#This pin enables the Diode Emulation function. When this pin is held Low, Diode Emulation Mode is enabled for the
Sync FET. When SKIP# is High, the CSD95375Q4M operates in Forced Continuous Conduction Mode. A tri-state
voltage on SKIP# puts the driver into a very low power state.

1. The Typical CSD95375Q4M System Characteristic curves are based on measurements made on a PCB design with dimensions of 4"
(W) × 3.5" (L) × 0.062" (T) and 6 copper layers of 1 oz. copper thickness. See the Application Information section for detailed
explanation.
An external VDDvoltage is required to supply the integrated gate driver IC and provide the necessary gate drive
power for the MOSFETS. A 1 µF 10 V X5R or higher ceramic capacitor is recommended to bypass VDDpin to
P
. A bootstrap circuit to provide gate drive power for the Control FET is also included. The bootstrap supply
GND
to drive the Control FET is generated by connecting a 100 nF 16 V X5R ceramic capacitor between BOOT and
BOOT_R pins. An optional R
resistor can be used to slow down the turn on speed of the Control FET and
BOOT
reduce voltage spikes on the VSWnode. A typical 1 Ω to 4.7 Ω value is a compromise between switching loss
and VSWspike amplitude.
7.3 Undervoltage Lockout Protection (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) comparator evaluates the VDD voltage level. As V
FET and Sync FET gates hold actively low at all times until V
reaches the higher UVLO threshold (V
VDD
Then the driver becomes operational and responds to PWM and SKIP# commands. If VDD falls below the lower
UVLO threshold (V
UVLO_L
= V
UVLO_H
– Hysteresis), the device disables the driver and drives the outputs of the
Control FET and Sync FET gates actively low. Figure 12 shows this function.
CAUTION
Do not start the driver in the very low power mode (SKIP# = Tri-state).
