PRODUCTION DATA.
The low-side driver is designed to drive high-current low-RDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which is 1.0 Ω for VDRV to DRVL and 0.5 Ω for DRVL to GND. 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. The bias voltage VDRV can be delivered from 6.2-V VREG supply or from external power source from 4.5 V to 6.5 V. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between the VDRV and PGND pins.
The average low-side gate drive current is calculated in Equation 3.
When VDRV is supplied by external voltage source, the device continues to be supplied by the VREG pin. There is no internal connection from VDRV to VREG.
