7.3.1.4.1 IDRIVE: MOSFET Slew-Rate Control

The IDRIVE component implements adjustable gate-drive current to control the MOSFET VDS slew rates. The MOSFET VDS slew rates are a critical factor for optimizing radiated emissions, energy and duration of diode recovery spikes, dV/dt gate turnon leading to shoot-through, and switching voltage transients related to parasitics in the external half-bridge. The IDRIVE component operates on the principal that the MOSFET VDS slew rates are predominately determined by the rate of gate charge (or gate current) delivered during the MOSFET QGD or Miller charging region. By allowing the gate driver to adjust the gate current, it can effectively control the slew rate of the external power MOSFETs.

The IDRIVE component allows the DRV8306 device to dynamically switch between gate drive currents through an IDRIVE pin. This hardware interface devices provides seven IDRIVE settings from 15-mA to 150-mA (source) and 30-mA to 300-mA (sink). The gate drive current setting is delivered to the gate during the turnon and turnoff of the external power MOSFET for the tDRIVE duration. After the MOSFET turnon or turnoff, the gate driver switches to a smaller hold current (IHOLD) to improve the gate driver efficiency. Additional details on the IDRIVE settings are described in the Pin Diagrams section.
