TPS28225
SLUS710 – MAY 2006
High-Frequency 4-A Sink Synchronous MOSFET Driver
• Drives Two N-Channel MOSFETs with 14-ns
The TPS28225 is a high-speed driver for N-channel
Adaptive Dead Time
complimentary driven power MOSFETs with adaptive
dead-time control. This driver is optimized for use in
• Wide Gate Drive Voltage: 4.5V Up to 8.8V
variety of high-current one and multi-phase dc-to-dc
With Best Efficiency at 7V to 8V
converters. The TPS28225 is a solution that provides
• Wide Power System Train Input Voltage: 3V
highly efficient, small size low EMI emmissions.
Up to 27V
The performance is achieved by up to 8.8-V gate
• Wide Input PWM Signals: 2.0V up to 13.2-V
drive voltage, 14-ns adaptive dead-time control,
