Description
The FAN3216 and FAN3217 dual 2 A gate drivers are
designed to drive N-channel enhancement-mode
MOSFETs in low-side switching applications by
providing high peak current pulses during the short
switching intervals. They are both available with TTL
input thresholds. Internal circuitry provides an under-
voltage lockout function by holding the output LOW until
the supply voltage is within the operating range. In
addition, the drivers feature matched internal
propagation delays between A and B channels for
applications requiring dual gate drives with critical
timing, such as synchronous rectifiers. This also
enables connecting two drivers in parallel to effectively
double the current capability driving a single MOSFET.
The FAN3216/17 drivers incorporate MillerDrive™
architecture for the final output stage. This bipolar-
MOSFET combination provides high current during the
Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET turn-on / turn-off
process to minimize switching loss, while providing rail-
to-rail voltage swing and reverse current capability.
The FAN3216 offers two inverting drivers and the
FAN3217 offers two non-inverting drivers. Both are
offered in a standard 8-pin SOIC package.

Applications Information
Input Thresholds
The FAN3216 and the FAN3217 drivers consist of two
identical channels that may be used independently at
rated current or connected in parallel to double the
individual current capacity.
The input thresholds meet industry-standard TTL-logic
thresholds independent of the VDD voltage, and there is
a hysteresis voltage of approximately 0.4 V. These
levels permit the inputs to be driven from a range of
input logic signal levels for which a voltage over 2 V is
considered logic HIGH. The driving signal for the TTL
inputs should have fast rising and falling edges with a
slew rate of 6 V/µs or faster, so a rise time from 0 to
3.3 V should be 550 ns or less. With reduced slew rate,
circuit noise could cause the driver input voltage to
exceed the hysteresis voltage and retrigger the driver
input, causing erratic operation.
Static Supply Current
In the IDD (static) typical performance characteristics
shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, each curve is
produced with both inputs floating and both outputs
LOW to indicate the lowest static IDD current. For other
states, additional current flows through the 100kΩ
resistors on the inputs and outputs shown in the block
diagram of each part (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). In
these cases, the actual static IDD current is the value
obtained from the curves plus this additional current.
MillerDrive™ Gate Drive Technology
FAN3216 and FAN3217 gate drivers incorporate the
MillerDrive™ architecture shown in Figure 31. For the
output stage, a combination of bipolar and MOS devices
provide large currents over a wide range of supply
voltage and temperature variations. The bipolar devices
carry the bulk of the current as OUT swings between 1/3
to 2/3 VDD and the MOS devices pull the output to the
HIGH or LOW rail.
The purpose of the MillerDrive™ architecture is to
speed up switching by providing high current during the
Miller plateau region when the gate-drain capacitance of
the MOSFET is being charged or discharged as part of
the turn-on / turn-off process.
For applications with zero voltage switching during the
MOSFET turn-on or turn-off interval, the driver supplies
high peak current for fast switching even though the
Miller plateau is not present. This situation often occurs
in synchronous rectifier applications because the body
diode is generally conducting before the MOSFET is
switched ON.
The output pin slew rate is determined by VDD voltage
and the load on the output. It is not user adjustable, but
a series resistor can be added if a slower rise or fall time
at the MOSFET gate is needed.
Figure 31. MillerDrive™ Output Architecture
Under-Voltage Lockout
The FAN321x startup logic is optimized to drive ground-
referenced N-channel MOSFETs with an under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) function to ensure that the IC starts up
in an orderly fashion. When VDD is rising, yet below the
3.9 V operational level, this circuit holds the output
LOW, regardless of the status of the input pins. After the
part is active, the supply voltage must drop 0.2 V before
the part shuts down. This hysteresis helps prevent
chatter when low VDD supply voltages have noise from
the power switching. This configuration is not suitable
for driving high-side P-channel MOSFETs because the
low output voltage of the driver would turn the P-channel
MOSFET on with VDD below 3.9 V.
VDD Bypass Capacitor Guidelines
To enable this IC to turn a device ON quickly, a local
high-frequency bypass capacitor, CBYP, with low ESR and
ESL should be connected between the VDD and GND
pins with minimal trace length. This capacitor is in
addition to bulk electrolytic capacitance of 10 µF to 47 µF
commonly found on driver and controller bias circuits.
A typical criterion for choosing the value of CBYP is to
keep the ripple voltage on the VDD supply to 5%. This
is often achieved with a value 20 times the equivalent
load capacitance CEQV, defined here as QGATE/VDD.
Ceramic capacitors of 0.1 µF to 1 µF or larger are
common choices, as are dielectrics, such as X5R and
X7R, with good temperature characteristics and high
pulse current capability.
If circuit noise affects normal operation, the value of
CBYP may be increased, to 50-100 times the CEQV, or
CBYP may be split into two capacitors. One should be a
larger value, based on equivalent load capacitance, and
the other a smaller value, such as 1-10 nF mounted
closest to the VDD and GND pins to carry the higher-
frequency components of the current pulses. The
bypass capacitor must provide the pulsed current from
both of the driver channels and, if the drivers are
switching simultaneously, the combined peak current
sourced from the CBYP would be twice as large as when
a single channel is switching.

FAN3216 / FAN3217 • Rev. 1.0.3 13
FAN3216 / FAN3217 — Dual 2-A, High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
Layout and Connection Guidelines
The FAN3216 and FAN3217 gate drivers incorporate
fast-reacting input circuits, short propagation delays,
and powerful output stages capable of delivering current
peaks over 2 A to facilitate voltage transition times from
under 10 ns to over 150 ns. The following layout and
connection guidelines are strongly recommended:
Keep high-current output and power ground paths
separate from logic input signals and signal ground
paths. This is especially critical for TTL-level logic
thresholds at driver input pins.
Keep the driver as close to the load as possible to
minimize the length of high-current traces. This
reduces the series inductance to improve high-
speed switching, while reducing the loop area that
can radiate EMI to the driver inputs and
surrounding circuitry.
If the inputs to a channel are not externally
connected, the internal 100 kΩ resistors indicated
on block diagrams command a low output. In noisy
environments, it may be necessary to tie inputs of
an unused channel to VDD or GND using short
traces to prevent noise from causing spurious
output switching.
Many high-speed power circuits can be susceptible
to noise injected from their own output or other
external sources, possibly causing output re-
triggering. These effects can be obvious if the
circuit is tested in breadboard or non-optimal circuit
layouts with long input or output leads. For best
results, make connections to all pins as short and
direct as possible.
FAN3216 and FAN3217 are pin-compatible with
many other industry-standard drivers.
The turn-on and turn-off current paths should be
minimized, as discussed in the following section.
Figure 32 shows the pulsed gate drive current path
when the gate driver is supplying gate charge to turn the
MOSFET on. The current is supplied from the local
bypass capacitor, CBYP, and flows through the driver to
the MOSFET gate and to ground. To reach the high
peak currents possible, the resistance and inductance in
the path should be minimized. The localized CBYP acts
to contain the high peak current pulses within this driver-
MOSFET circuit, preventing them from disturbing the
sensitive analog circuitry in the PWM controller.
Figure 32. Current Path for MOSFET Turn-On
Figure 33 shows the current path when the gate driver
turns the MOSFET OFF. Ideally, the driver shunts the
current directly to the source of the MOSFET in a small
circuit loop. For fast turn-off times, the resistance and
inductance in this path should be minimized.

Operational Waveforms
At power-up, the driver output remains LOW until the
VDD voltage reaches the turn-on threshold. The
magnitude of the OUT pulses rises with VDD until
steady-state VDD is reached. The non-inverting
operation illustrated in Figure 34 shows that the output
remains LOW until the UVLO threshold is reached, then
the output is in-phase with the input.
Figure 34. Non-Inverting Startup Waveforms
The inverting configuration of startup waveforms are
shown in Figure 35. With IN+ tied to VDD and the input
signal applied to IN–, the OUT pulses are inverted with
respect to the input. At power-up, the inverted output
remains LOW until the VDD voltage reaches the turn-on
threshold, then it follows the input with inverted phase.

FAN3216 / FAN3217 — Dual 2-A, High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Drivers
Thermal Guidelines
Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at
high frequencies can dissipate significant amounts of
power. It is important to determine the driver power
dissipation and the resulting junction temperature in the
application to ensure that the part is operating within
acceptable temperature limits.
The total power dissipation in a gate driver is the sum of
two components, PGATE and PDYNAMIC:
PTOTAL = PGATE + PDYNAMIC (1)
Gate Driving Loss: The most significant power loss
results from supplying gate current (charge per unit
time) to switch the load MOSFET on and off at the
switching frequency. The power dissipation that
results from driving a MOSFET at a specified gate-
source voltage, VGS, with gate charge, QG, at
switching frequency, fSW, is determined by:
PGATE = QG • VGS • fSW • n (2)
where n is the number of driver channels in use (1 or 2).
Dynamic Pre-Drive / Shoot-through Current: A power
loss resulting from internal current consumption under
dynamic operating conditions, including pin pull-up /
pull-down resistors, can be obtained using the graphs
in Typical Performance Characteristics to determine
the current IDYNAMIC drawn from VDD under actual
operating conditions:
PDYNAMIC = IDYNAMIC • VDD • n (3)
Once the power dissipated in the driver is determined,
the driver junction rise with respect to circuit board can
be evaluated using the following thermal equation,
assuming ψJB was determined for a similar thermal
design (heat sinking and air flow):
TJ = PTOTALψJB + TB (4)
where:
TJ = driver junction temperature;
ψJB = (psi) thermal characterization parameter
relating temperature rise to total power
dissipation; and
TB = board temperature in location as defined in
the Thermal Characteristics table.
In the forward converter with synchronous rectifier
shown in the typical application diagrams, the
FDMS8660S is a reasonable MOSFET selection. The
gate charge for each SR MOSFET would be 60 nC with
VGS = VDD = 7V. At a switching frequency of 500 kHz,
the total power dissipation is:
PGATE = 60 nC • 7 V • 500 kHz • 2 = 0.42 W (5)
PDYNAMIC = 3 mA • 7 V • 2 = 0.042 W (6)
PTOTAL = 0.46 W (7)
The SOIC-8 has a junction-to-board thermal
characterization parameter of ψJB = 43°C/W. In a
system application, the localized temperature around
the device is a function of the layout and construction of
the PCB along with airflow across the surfaces. To
ensure reliable operation, the maximum junction
temperature of the device must be prevented from
exceeding the maximum rating of 150°C; with 80%
derating, TJ would be limited to 120°C. Rearranging
Equation 4 determines the board temperature required
to maintain the junction temperature below 120°C:
TB = TJ - PTOTALψJB (8)
TB = 120°C – 0.46 W • 43°C/W = 100°C (9)
