The ISL6614A integrates two ISL6613A MOSFET drivers and

is specifically designed to drive two Channel MOSFETs in a

synchronous rectified buck converter topology. These drivers

combined with HIP63xx or ISL65xx Multi-Phase Buck PWM

controllers and N-Channel MOSFETs form complete core

voltage regulator solutions for advanced microprocessors.

The ISL6614A drives both the upper and lower gates

simultaneously over a range from 5V to 12V. This drive

voltage provides the flexibility necessary to optimize

applications involving trade-offs between gate charge and

conduction losses.

An advanced adaptive zero shoot-through protection is

integrated to prevent both the upper and lower MOSFETs

from conducting simultaneously and to minimize the dead

time. These products add an overvoltage protection feature

operational before VCC exceeds its turn-on threshold, at

which the PHASE node is connected to the gate of the low

side MOSFET (LGATE). The output voltage of the converter

is then limited by the threshold of the low side MOSFET,

which provides some protection to the microprocessor if the

upper MOSFET(s) is shorted during startup.

The ISL6614A also features a three-state PWM input which,

working together with Intersil’s multi-phase PWM controllers,

prevents a negative transient on the output voltage when the

output is shut down. This feature eliminates the Schottky

diode that is used in some systems for protecting the load

from reversed output voltage events.
