The DRF1202 hybrid includes a high power gate driver and the power
MOSFET. The driver output can be configured as Inverting and Non-
Inverting. It was designed to provide the system designer increased
flexibility and lowered cost over a non-integrated solution.

Figure 1, DRF1202 Simplified Circuit Diagram
050-4973 Rev F 11-2013
The Simplified DRF1202 Circuit Diagram is illustrated above. By including the driver high speed by-pass capacitor (C1), their contribution to
the internal parasitic loop inductance of the driver output is greatly reduced. This, coupled with the tight geometry of the hybrid, allows optimal
gate drive to the MOSFET. This low parasitic approach, coupled with the Schmitt trigger input (IN), Kelvin signal ground (SG) and the Anti-
Ring Function, provide improved stability and control in Kilowatt to Multi-Kilowatt, high Frequency applications. The IN pin is the input for the
control signal and is applied to a Schmitt Trigger. Both the FN and IN pins are referenced to Kelvin ground (SG.) The signal is then applied to
the intermediate drivers and level shifters; this section contains proprietary circuitry designed specifically for the ring abatement. The power
drivers provide high current to the gate of the MOSFETS.

Figure 3, DRF1202 Test Circuit
050-4973 Rev F 11-2013
The Test Circuit illustrated above was used to evaluate the DRF1202 (available as an evaluation Board DRF12XX / EVALSW.) The input
control signal is applied to the DRF1202 via IN(4) and SG(5) pins using RG188. This provides excellent noise immunity and control of the
signal ground currents.

inputs (2,6) are by-passed (C1,C2, C4-C9), this is in addition to the internal by-passing mentioned previously. The capacitors used
for this function must be capable of supporting the RMS currents and frequency of the gate load. R
