6.3.1.2.5 TDRIVE/IDRIVE Gate Drive Timing Control

The device integrates TDRIVE/IDRIVE gate drive timing control to control switching speed and prevent parasitic dV/dt gate turn on of external MOSFETs. Configurable pull-up current IDRVP and pull-down current IDRVN enable the independent adjustment of rising and falling slew rate without the need for external series gate resistors. Strong pull-down ISTRONG current is enabled after the expiration of tDRIVE_N to pull the MOSFET strongly off and keep it off during the switching of the opposite side of the half-bridge. This feature helps to remove parasitic charge that couples into the MOSFET gate when the half-bridge switch-node voltage slews rapidly.
