JAJSH63C JULY 2012 – April 2019 TPS53015
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS53015 device contains two high-current resistive MOSFET gate drivers. The low-side driver is a PGND referenced, VREG5 powered driver designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET whose source is connected to PGND. The high-side driver is a floating SW referenced, VBST powered driver designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET. To maintain the VBST voltage during the high-side driver ON-time, a capacitor is placed from SW to VBST. Each driver draws average current equal to gate charge (Qg and Vgs = 5 V) times switching frequency (fSW). To prevent cross-conduction, there is a narrow dead-time when both high-side and low-side drivers are OFF between each driver transition. During this time the inductor current is carried by one of the MOSFETs body diodes.
