Description
The FAN3278 dual 1.5A gate driver is optimized to drive
a high-side P-channel MOSFET and a low-side
N-channel MOSFET in motor control applications
operating from a voltage rail up to 27V. Internal circuitry
limits the voltage applied to the gates of the external
MOSFETs to 13V maximum. The driver has TTL input
thresholds and provides buffer and level translation from
logic inputs. Internal circuitry prevents the output
switching devices from operating if the V
DD
supply
voltage is below the IC operation level. Internal 100kΩ
resistors bias the non-inverting output LOW and the
inverting output to V
DD
to keep the external MOSFETs
off during startup intervals when logic control signals
may not be present.
The FAN3278 driver incorporates MOSFET devices for
the final output stage, providing high current throughout
the MOSFET turn-on / turn-off transition to minimize
switching loss. The internal gate-drive regulators
provide optimum gate-drive voltage when operating
from a rail of 8V to 27V. The FAN3278 can be driven
from a voltage rail of less than 8V; however, its gate
drive current is reduced.
The FAN3278 has two independent ENABLE pins that
default to ON if not connected. If the ENABLE pin for
non-inverting channel A is pulled LOW, OUTA is forced
LOW. If the ENABLE pin for inverting channel B is
pulled LOW, OUTB is forced HIGH. If an input is left
unconnected, internal resistors bias the inputs such that
the external MOSFETs are OFF.

Notes:
1. Estimates derived from thermal simulation; actual values depend on the application.
2. Theta_JL (
JL
): Thermal resistance between the semiconductor junction and the bottom surface of all the leads
(including any thermal pad) that are typically soldered to a PCB.
3. Theta_JT (
JT
): Thermal resistance between the semiconductor junction and the top surface of the package,
assuming it is held at a uniform temperature by a top-side heatsink.
4. Theta_JA (Θ
JA
): Thermal resistance between junction and ambient, dependent on the PCB design, heat sinking,
and airflow. The value given is for natural convection with no heatsink using a 2S2P board, as specified in
JEDEC standards JESD51-2, JESD51-5, and JESD51-7, as appropriate.
5. Psi_JB (
JB
): Thermal characterization parameter providing correlation between semiconductor junction
temperature and an application circuit board reference point for the thermal environment defined in Note 4. For
the SOIC-8 package, the board reference is defined as the PCB copper adjacent to pin 6.
6. Psi_JT (
JT
): Thermal characterization parameter providing correlation between the semiconductor junction
temperature and the center of the top of the package for the thermal environment defined in Note 4.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
