RT9611A/B
Synchronous Rectified Buck MOSFET Drivers
General Description
The RT9611A/B is a high frequency, synchronous rectified,
single phase dual MOSFET driver designed to adapt from
normal MOSFET driving applications to high performance
CPU VR driving capabilities.
The RT9611A/B can be utilized under both V
CC
= 5V or
V
CC
= 12V applications. The RT9611A/B also builds in an
internal power switch to replace external boot strap diode.
The RT9611A/B can support switching frequency efficiently
up to 500kHz. The RT9611A/B has the UGATE driving
circuit and the LGATE driving circuit for synchronous
rectified DC/DC converter applications. The driving rise/
fall time capability is designed within 30ns and the shoot
through protection mechanism is designed to prevent shoot
through of high side and low side power MOSFETs. The
RT9611A/B has PWM tri-state shut down and OD input
shut down functions which can force driver output into
high impedance.
The difference of the RT9611A and the RT9611B is the
propagation delay, t
UGATEpdh
. The RT9611B has
comparatively large t
UGATEpdh
than RT9611B. Hence, the
RT9611A is usually recommended to be utilized in
performance oriented applications, such as high power
density CPU VR or GPU VR.
The RT9611A/B comes in a small footprint with 8-pin
packages. The choice of packages type includes SOP-8,
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and WDFN-8EL 3x3.
Note :
Richtek products are :
RoHS compliant and compatible with the current require-
ments of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
Suitable for use in SnPb or Pb-free soldering processes.
