Gate Driver

The gate driver is used to control the external N-Channel MOSFET by setting the appropriate GATE to SOURCE voltage .

Before the gate driver is enabled following three conditions must be achieved:

  • The EN pin voltage must be greater than the specified input high voltage.
  • The VCAP to SOURCE voltage must be greater than the undervoltage lockout voltage.
  • The SOURCE voltage must be greater than VSOURCE POR Rising threshold.
If the above conditions are not achieved, then the GATE pin is internally connected to the SOURCE pin, assuring that the external MOSFET is disabled. Once these conditions are achieved the gate driver operates in the conduction mode enhancing the external MOSFET completely.
