General Description
The FAN53418 is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver specifically designed to drive two power N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous rectified buck converter. These drivers combined with a FAN53168 Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller and power MOSFETs form a complete core voltage regulator solution for advanced microprocessors.
The FAN53418 drives both the upper and lower gates in a synchronous rectifier to +12V. The upper gate drive implements bootstrapping with only an external capacitor and diode required. This reduces implementation complexity and allows the use of higher performance, cost effective, N-Channel MOSFETs.
