Product details
Overview
ADP3629ARZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a dual, high-speed, 2 A low-side MOSFET driver in an 8-lead SOIC_N package, designed to drive two independent N-channel power MOSFETs. It operates from 9.5 V to 18 V supply, delivers 10 ns typical rise/fall times at 2.2 nF load, and features matched propagation delays (≤2 ns mismatch) for synchronous switching in AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3629ARZ-R7 datasheet, ADP3629ARZ-R7 pinout, ADP3629ARZ-R7 application, or ADP3629ARZ-R7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V-compatible inputs, precise SD shutdown comparator (1.28 V typ threshold), overtemperature warning flag (OTW), UVLO with hysteresis, and parallel operation capability for increased drive strength.
Technical Context
The ADP3629ARZ-R7 implements dual noninverting gate drivers with internal thermal sensing and two-tier overtemperature protection: OTW active-low warning at 135°C typ and shutdown at 165°C typ. Its SD input uses a precision comparator with 280 mV hysteresis to enable redundant overvoltage or overcurrent fault response independent of the main controller.
It supports 3.3 V logic-level inputs while operating from a higher 12 V supply, enabling clean interface between digital PWM controllers and high-voltage power stages. The device includes internal pull-downs on INA/INB inputs and an internal pull-up on SD, ensuring defined states during floating conditions or startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 9.5 V to 18 V - enables compatibility with both analog and digital PWM controllers using separate low- and high-voltage rails. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 10 ns typical at 2.2 nF load - ensures fast MOSFET turn-on/turn-off to minimize switching losses in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Peak Output Current | ±2 A - provides sufficient gate charge current to drive high-QG MOSFETs (e.g., >100 nC) at 100+ kHz without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay Match | ≤2 ns between channels - critical for minimizing shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies. |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.7 V turn-on / 7.7 V turn-off with 1.0 V hysteresis - guarantees safe startup/shutdown sequencing and prevents erratic operation near supply brownout. |
| SD Input Threshold | 1.28 V typical high threshold with 280 mV hysteresis - allows direct connection to scaled feedback signals for reliable OVP/OCP fault detection. |
| OTW Output | Open-drain, active-low flag - supports wire-OR'd thermal monitoring across multiple drivers in multi-phase systems. |
Pinout & Package
ADP3629ARZ-R7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA is 110.6°C/W on a 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SD | Active-high shutdown input | Disables both outputs when high; internal pull-up requires external pull-down for normal operation; precision comparator enables fault-triggered system shutdown. |
| 2 - INA | Inverting input for Channel A | Drives OUTA inverted relative to signal; internal pull-down ensures MOSFET stays off if unconnected. |
| 3 - PGND | Power ground reference | Must be connected directly to MOSFET source to minimize ground bounce and ensure accurate gate drive referencing. |
| 4 - INB | Inverting input for Channel B | Drives OUTB inverted; identical behavior to INA for dual-channel symmetry in synchronous rectifier control. |
| 5 - OUTB | Channel B low-side output | Sinks or sources up to ±2 A; internally biased to VDD/PGND; held low during shutdown or UVLO. |
| 6 - VDD | Positive supply input | Requires local 4.7 µF ceramic + 100 nF bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress switching noise and supply peak currents. |
| 7 - OUTA | Channel A low-side output | Functionally identical to OUTB; matched delay and drive strength enable precise timing-critical applications. |
| 8 - OTW | Overtemperature warning flag | Open-drain output pulled low when die temperature exceeds 135°C; can be tied to microcontroller interrupt or system fault bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-side MOSFET driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADP3630ARZ-R7 | Noninverting inputs on both channels (INA/INB); otherwise identical specs, pinout, and package. | Better suited for new designs using standard noninverted PWM signals; requires no logic inversion in controller firmware. | Select ADP3630ARZ-R7 when driving standard PWM outputs without external inverters; ADP3629ARZ-R7 remains optimal for legacy sync-rectifier layouts. |
| LM5112MG/NOPB | Higher 4 A peak current, faster 8 ns rise time, but no OTW flag or SD comparator; SOIC-8 package with different pinout. | Lacks integrated thermal warning and precision shutdown - requires external circuitry for fault handling in safety-critical systems. | Choose LM5112MG/NOPB only when maximum drive strength and speed outweigh need for on-chip protection features and pin compatibility. |
Compared with ADP3629ARZ-R7, ADP3630ARZ-R7 offers identical performance with noninverting inputs for simplified controller interface, while LM5112MG/NOPB trades integrated protection for raw speed and current - making ADP3629ARZ-R7 the balanced choice for thermally aware, fault-resilient power designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the OTW pin on the ADP3629ARZ-R7?
The OTW (Overtemperature Warning) pin on the ADP3629ARZ-R7 is an open-drain, active-low output that asserts when the IC's junction temperature exceeds 135°C (typ). It remains asserted until temperature falls below 125°C (135°C − 10°C hysteresis), providing early thermal fault indication before shutdown occurs at 165°C. This signal can be monitored by a host microcontroller to initiate derating or alarm functions. The ADP3629ARZ-R7 uses this pin to enhance system-level thermal management without requiring external sensors.
Can the ADP3629ARZ-R7 drive both N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter?
Yes, the ADP3629ARZ-R7 is explicitly designed to drive two independent N-channel MOSFETs in low-side configurations such as synchronous buck converters. Its dual 2 A peak sink/source outputs (OUTA and OUTB), matched propagation delays (≤2 ns), and 10 ns typical rise/fall times ensure precise, high-speed switching with minimal shoot-through risk. The ADP3629ARZ-R7 supports inverting inputs, allowing direct interface with controllers that output complementary PWM signals for high-side and low-side FETs in discrete half-bridge implementations.
Does the ADP3629ARZ-R7 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
The ADP3629ARZ-R7 has an internal pull-up on the SD pin and internal pull-downs on INA and INB pins. Therefore, no external pull-downs are needed on INA/INB - they default to logic low when unconnected, keeping associated MOSFETs off. However, because SD is active-high and internally pulled up, an external pull-down resistor (typically 10 kΩ) is required to enable normal operation unless driven actively low by a controller. The ADP3629ARZ-R7's input structure eliminates floating-state risks while minimizing external component count.
How does the UVLO feature of the ADP3629ARZ-R7 improve system reliability?
The ADP3629ARZ-R7 incorporates under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with 8.7 V turn-on and 7.7 V turn-off thresholds plus 1.0 V hysteresis. This prevents erratic output behavior during power-up, brownout, or supply sag by disabling outputs until VDD stabilizes above 8.7 V, and holding disable state until VDD recovers above 7.7 V. The hysteresis avoids oscillation near threshold, ensuring clean startup and shutdown sequencing. For systems using split-rail controllers (e.g., 3.3 V logic + 12 V gate drive), this UVLO protects against partial-enable conditions that could damage power MOSFETs - a core reliability feature of the ADP3629ARZ-R7.
Is the ADP3629ARZ-R7 pin-compatible with other drivers in the ADP36xx family?
Yes, the ADP3629ARZ-R7 shares identical 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) pinout and footprint with ADP3630ARZ-R7 and ADP3631ARZ-R7, enabling direct PCB-level substitution. All three variants use the same pin configuration shown in Figure 7 of the datasheet: SD/INA/PGND/INB/OUTB/VDD/OUTA/OTW. Functional differences lie only in input logic polarity (inverting vs. noninverting) and are electrically transparent at the package level. This pin compatibility simplifies design reuse and inventory consolidation across projects using the ADP3629ARZ-R7, ADP3630ARZ-R7, or ADP3631ARZ-R7.
