1. General description

The NXF6505A/B-Q100 is a specialized push-pull

transformer driver that is designed for isolated power

supplies in small form factors. This driver is capable

of driving low-profile, center-tapped transformers from

a 2.25 V to 5.5 V DC power supply, while achieving

ultra-low noise and EMI using slew rate control and

Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC).

The NXF6505A/B-Q100 features internal protection

features such as current limiting, undervoltage lockout,

thermal shutdown, and break-before-make circuitry,

ensuring the device operates within safe limits. The

device also includes a soft-start feature that prevents

high inrush current during power-up with large load.

The NXF6505A/B-Q100 is constructed using

an oscillator and a gate drive circuit that

produces complementary output signals to drive

ground-referenced N-channel power switches.

These two complementary 1.2 A Power-MOSFET

switches can be used to provide >6 W power. The

440 kHz internal oscillator is for applications that

require higher efficiency and smaller transformers.

The NXF6505A/B-Q100 is available in a small 6 pin

SOT8061-1 package and is characterized for operation

within a temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C.

This product has been qualified to the Automotive

Electronics Council (AEC) standard Q100 (Grade 1)

and is suitable for use in automotive applications.
