The low-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low-RDS(on), N-channel MOSFET(s). The drive capability is represented by the internal resistance, which is 3 Ω for V5IN to DRVL and 0.9 Ω for DRVL to PGND. A dead-time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, and low-side MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on. 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5IN supply. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between V5IN and GND. The average drive current is equal to the gate charge at VGS = 5 V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the high-side gate drive current times 5 V makes the driving power which needs to be dissipated from the device package.
