Features:
IXS839 / IXS839A / IXS839B
Synchronous Buck MOSFET Driver
General Description
The IXS839/IXS839A/IXS839B are 2A Source / 4A
Sink Synchronous Buck MOSFET Drivers. These
Synchronous Buck MOSFET Drivers are specifically
designed to drive two N-channel power MOSFETs
in a synchronous buck converter. The High-Side
driver is powered via a bootstrapped power
connection. The driver is capable of 20ns High-Side
output, and 18ns Low-Side output transition times
driving a 3000pF load.
The IXS839 and IXS839B incorporate an
undervoltage lockout to prevent unintentional gate
drive output during low voltage conditions. The
IXS83A/B include External Shutdown and Low-Side
Drive Shutdown features. Simultaneous shutdown
of both outputs prevents rapid output capacitor
discharge. The high-side turn-on delay is adjustable
with an external capacitor added at the DLY pin.
The IXS839/839A/839B are designed to operate
over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The
IXS839 is available in an 8-Lead SOIC, the
IXS839A and the IXS839B in a 10-pin QFN.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings.
Stresses in excess of these ratings can cause
permanent damage to the device. Functional
operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated in the operational
sections of this data sheet is not implied. Exposure
of the device to the absolute maximum ratings for
an extended period may degrade the device and
affect its reliability.
ESD Warning
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges can readily accumulate on test equipment and the human body
in excess of 4000 Volts. This energy can discharge without detection. Although the IXS839/839A/839B feature proprietary ESD
protection circuitry, permanent damage may be sustained if subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
