Product details
Overview
ADP3633ARDZ-RL from Analog Devices is a high-speed, dual-channel, 4 A low-side MOSFET driver with integrated thermal protection and industry-standard SOIC_N_EP pinout. It delivers 10 ns typical rise/fall times into 2.2 nF loads, supports 9.5 V to 18 V supply voltage, and features matched propagation delays (≤2 ns mismatch) for synchronous power stage control in DC-to-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3633ARDZ-RL datasheet, ADP3633ARDZ-RL pinout, ADP3633ARDZ-RL application, or ADP3633ARDZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9.5 V UVLO threshold, overtemperature warning/shutdown thresholds (120°C/150°C), 3.3 V-compatible logic inputs, and parallelable dual outputs for enhanced gate drive capability.
Technical Context
The ADP3633ARDZ-RL implements two independent inverting gate drivers optimized for N-channel MOSFETs, with internal pull-downs ensuring default-off behavior during floating input conditions. Its SD pin uses a precision comparator with 280 mV hysteresis to support slow-rising fault signals like scaled OVP outputs.
Thermal protection includes an open-drain OTW flag (active-low at ≥120°C) and automatic shutdown at ≥150°C junction temperature, with 30°C hysteresis. The device operates across −40°C to +85°C ambient and is rated for 150°C maximum junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 9.5 V to 18 V - Enables direct use with 12 V intermediate bus rails in industrial and telecom power supplies. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 10 ns typical @ 2.2 nF - Supports >10 MHz switching frequencies with minimal dead-time uncertainty. |
| Peak Output Current | ±4 A - Drives high-Qg MOSFETs (e.g., >100 nC) with fast edge rates and low Miller plateau dwell time. |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.7 V typ. turn-on, 7.7 V typ. turn-off - Provides robust startup/shutdown sequencing with 1.0 V hysteresis against supply ripple. |
| Propagation Delay Match | ≤2 ns - Ensures precise timing alignment between channels for interleaved or synchronous rectifier topologies. |
| Overtemperature Warning | 135°C typ. activation - Allows system-level thermal derating before critical shutdown at 165°C. |
| Input Logic Compatibility | 3.3 V CMOS - Interfaces directly with digital PWM controllers (e.g., ADP1055, UCD3138) without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
ADP3633ARDZ-RL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N_EP (RD-8-4) package with exposed thermal pad, offering 59°C/W θJA on JEDEC 4-layer board. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SD) | Shutdown enable input | Active-high signal with precision comparator; pulls OUTA/OUTB low when asserted, enabling redundant OVP/OCP response. |
| 2 (INA) | Inverting channel A input | Accepts 3.3 V logic; internal pull-down ensures OFF-state default if controller output floats or fails. |
| 3 (PGND) | Power ground reference | Must connect directly to MOSFET source node to minimize ground bounce and ensure accurate current sensing. |
| 4 (INB) | Inverting channel B input | Independent of INA; enables complementary or phase-shifted drive for half-bridge or multiphase configurations. |
| 5 (OUTB) | Channel B gate drive output | Capable of ±4 A peak; designed for low-inductance connection to MOSFET gate via short, wide traces. |
| 6 (VDD) | Driver supply input | Requires local 4.7 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to PGND; insufficient decoupling increases rise time and risk of shoot-through. |
| 7 (OUTA) | Channel A gate drive output | Matched delay and drive strength to OUTB; supports paralleling with OUTB for single high-current output. |
| 8 (OTW) | Open-drain overtemperature warning | Active-low flag; wire-OR capable for multi-driver thermal monitoring on shared system bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual inverting gate drivers | Enables direct interface with standard PWM controllers that output complementary logic signals without external inverters. |
| Matched propagation delays | ≤2 ns inter-channel skew ensures tight timing control in synchronous rectification and interleaved DC-DC stages. |
| Integrated overtemperature protection | Two-tier thermal response (warning at 135°C, shutdown at 165°C) prevents MOSFET destruction during overload or cooling failure. |
| Industry-standard SOIC_N_EP footprint | Drop-in replacement for legacy drivers (e.g., IR2110 variants) while delivering higher speed and smarter protection. |
| Parallelable outputs | OUTA and OUTB can be tied together to double peak current drive (±8 A) and halve per-channel power dissipation. |
Applications
| AC-to-DC SMPS | Isolated DC-DC Converters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5112MYX/NOPB | Higher 12 A peak current but wider 5.5–16 V supply range; no OTW flag or SD comparator hysteresis. | Lacks integrated thermal warning; requires external circuitry for overtemperature monitoring in safety-critical systems. | Prefer when peak current >4 A is required and thermal monitoring is handled externally. |
| UCC27524APDR | Same 4 A rating and SOIC-8 package, but 4.5–18 V supply and no UVLO hysteresis or OTW output. | No overtemperature warning or shutdown; relies on host controller for thermal management. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for autonomous thermal protection and UVLO stability. |
Compared with LM5112MYX/NOPB and UCC27524APDR, ADP3633ARDZ-RL uniquely combines 9.5 V UVLO with hysteresis, open-drain OTW signaling, and matched dual-channel timing-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability AC/DC and isolated DC/DC designs where autonomous fault response is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the UVLO threshold specification for ADP3633ARDZ-RL?
The ADP3633ARDZ-RL has a UVLO turn-on threshold of 8.7 V typical (min 8.0 V, max 9.5 V) and turn-off threshold of 7.7 V typical (min 7.0 V, max 8.5 V), with 1.0 V hysteresis. This ensures reliable startup and shutdown under noisy 12 V rail conditions and prevents oscillation near brownout limits.
Can ADP3633ARDZ-RL drive both high-side and low-side MOSFETs?
No, ADP3633ARDZ-RL is a dedicated low-side driver only. It features ground-referenced outputs (OUTA/OUTB) and requires the MOSFET source to be connected to PGND. For high-side drive, a separate bootstrap or isolated supply solution is required-ADP3633ARDZ-RL does not integrate high-side level shifting.
How does the OTW pin function in ADP3633ARDZ-RL?
The OTW pin on ADP3633ARDZ-RL is an open-drain output that pulls low when die temperature reaches ≥120°C (typical). It remains low until temperature drops below 110°C (10°C hysteresis). Multiple ADP3633ARDZ-RL devices can share a single OTW bus via wire-OR configuration for centralized thermal monitoring.
Is ADP3633ARDZ-RL pin-compatible with earlier ADP3623 variants?
Yes, ADP3633ARDZ-RL shares identical SOIC_N_EP pinout and pin functions with ADP3623ARDZ-RL, but differs in UVLO range (9.5 V vs. 4.5 V) and supply voltage minimum. Electrical and mechanical compatibility allows drop-in replacement where 9.5 V UVLO is acceptable and system rail voltage exceeds 9.5 V.
What thermal performance can be expected from ADP3633ARDZ-RL in SOIC_N_EP package?
ADP3633ARDZ-RL in SOIC_N_EP (RD-8-4) exhibits 59°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on JEDEC 4-layer board. With proper PCB layout-including exposed pad soldered to ≥1 in² copper pour-the device sustains continuous 4 A peak drive at 300 kHz switching with ≤85°C ambient without exceeding 150°C junction limit.
