8.3.4 Gate 2

The TPS23523 features a second hot swap Gate drive, which can be used to save BOM cost and size in applications that require multiple hot swap MOSFETs. The 2nd MOSFET is only turned ON when the main FET is enhanced. As a result the 2nd MOSFET doesn't operate with large current and large voltage across it, thus reducing the SOA requirements. In many cases a 5x6 QFN FET can replace a D2PACK FET. The following figures show the operation during start-up and Hot Short event. It can be seen that the second FET is OFF during stressful operation and turns on during normal operation to improve steady state efficiency and reduce power losses.
