Advanced Synchronous Rectified Buck
MOSFET Drivers with Protection Features
The ISL6594A and ISL6594B are high frequency MOSFET
drivers specifically designed to drive upper and lower power
N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck
converter topology. These drivers combined with the
ISL6592 Digital Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller and
N-Channel MOSFETs form a complete core-voltage
regulator solution for advanced microprocessors.
The ISL6594A drives the upper gate to 12V, while the lower
gate can be independently driven over a range from 5V to
12V. The ISL6594B drives both upper and lower gates over
a range of 5V to 12V. This drive-voltage provides the
flexibility necessary to optimize applications involving trade-
offs between gate charge and conduction losses.
An advanced adaptive zero shoot-through protection is
integrated to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs
from conducting simultaneously and to minimize the dead
time. These products add an overvoltage protection feature
operational before VCC exceeds its turn-on threshold, at
which the PHASE node is connected to the gate of the low
side MOSFET (LGATE). The output voltage of the converter
is then limited by the threshold of the low side MOSFET,
which provides some protection to the microprocessor if the
upper MOSFET(s) is shorted during initial startup.
These drivers also feature a three-state PWM input which,
working together with Intersil’s multi-phase PWM controllers,
prevents a negative transient on the output voltage when the
output is shut down. This feature eliminates the Schottky
diode that is used in some systems for protecting the load
from reversed output voltage events.

FUNCTION
Upper gate drive output. Connect to gate of high-side power N-Channel MOSFET.
Floating bootstrap supply pin for the upper gate drive. Connect the bootstrap capacitor between this pin and the
PHASE pin. The bootstrap capacitor provides the charge to turn on the upper MOSFET. See the Internal Bootstrap
Device section under DESCRIPTION for guidance in choosing the capacitor value.
No Connection.
The PWM signal is the control input for the driver. The PWM signal can enter three distinct states during operation, see
the three-state PWM Input section under DESCRIPTION for further details. Connect this pin to the PWM output of the
controller.
Bias and reference ground. All signals are referenced to this node. It is also the power ground return of the driver.
Lower gate drive output. Connect to gate of the low-side power N-Channel MOSFET.
Connect this pin to a +12V bias supply. Place a high quality low ESR ceramic capacitor from this pin to GND.
This pin supplies power to both upper and lower gate drives in ISL6594B; only the lower gate drive in ISL6594A.
Its operating range is +5V to 12V. Place a high quality low ESR ceramic capacitor from this pin to GND.
Connect this pin to the SOURCE of the upper MOSFET and the DRAIN of the lower MOSFET. This pin provides
a return path for the upper gate drive.
Connect this pad to the power ground plane (GND) via thermally enhanced connection.
