Product details
Overview
ISL6627IRZ-T from Intersil is a VR11.1/VR12-compatible dual N-channel MOSFET driver for synchronous buck converters, delivering 4A sink current on LGATE, 2A source/sink on UGATE/LGATE, and adaptive shoot-through protection with programmable deadtime. It enables diode emulation during PSI mode for DCM operation in microprocessor core voltage regulators.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6627IRZ-T datasheet, ISL6627IRZ-T pinout, ISL6627IRZ-T application, or ISL6627IRZ-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C operating range, 10-lead 3×3 DFN package with exposed thermal pad, VR11.1/VR12 protocol support, and integrated 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source resistor for dV/dt immunity.
Technical Context
The ISL6627IRZ-T implements an advanced PWM protocol that detects PSI# commands from VR11.1/VR12 controllers to activate diode emulation, enabling discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) by sensing zero inductor current and turning off LGATE. Its adaptive shoot-through protection monitors UGATE–PHASE and LGATE voltages to dynamically adjust dead time between high- and low-side FET switching transitions.
Deadtime is programmable via the TD pin using external resistors (e.g., 100kΩ to GND yields 25ns LGATE-fall-to-UGATE-rise delay), while floating TD enables adaptive mode. The driver integrates a 36V-rated bootstrap Schottky diode and prevents bootstrap capacitor overcharge during PHASE node negative excursions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - powers internal logic and gate drivers; requires low-ESR ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| LGATE Sink Current | 4A - enables fast turn-off of large lower-side MOSFETs, critical for preventing shoot-through under high dV/dt. |
| UGATE/LGATE Rise/Fall Times | 4–8ns (3nF load) - supports >1MHz switching frequencies with minimal gate drive loss. |
| Propagation Delays | tPDHL = 16ns (adaptive), tPDLFUR = 17ns (programmed) - ensures precise timing control for stable CCM/DCM transitions. |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and computing applications requiring extended thermal margin. |
| Bootstrap Diode Rating | 36V (<200ns) - withstands transient overshoot during high-frequency PHASE node switching. |
| Integrated Resistor | 20kΩ high-side gate-to-source - suppresses self-turn-on caused by input bus dV/dt without external components. |
Pinout & Package
ISL6627IRZ-T uses a 10-lead 3×3 mm Dual Flat No-lead (DFN) package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) soldered to GND for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 (UGATE) to Pin 10 (PHASE) follow standard top-view numbering; EPAD is electrically connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UGATE (Pin 1) | Upper gate drive output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; referenced to PHASE node, not GND. |
| BOOT (Pin 2) | Floating bootstrap supply | Connects to bootstrap capacitor (BOOT–PHASE); supplies charge for UGATE high-side drive. |
| TD (Pin 3) | Deadtime programming | Resistor to GND/VCC sets fixed propagation delay; open = adaptive mode. |
| PWM (Pin 4) | Control input | Accepts tri-state PWM signal from VR controller; interprets PSI# for diode emulation. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Bias and reference ground | Reference for all signals and power return path; connects to EPAD. |
| LGATE (Pin 6) | Lower gate drive output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; referenced to GND. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Bias supply input | 5V supply for logic and gate drivers; requires local ceramic decoupling. |
| NC (Pin 8) | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected. |
| EN (Pin 9) | Enable input | Logic-high (>1.4V) enables driver; logic-low disables both outputs. |
| PHASE (Pin 10) | Switching node connection | Connects to source of upper MOSFET and drain of lower MOSFET; return path for UGATE drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VR11.1/VR12 Protocol Support | Enables seamless integration with Intersil multiphase controllers for dynamic voltage scaling and PSI-based light-load optimization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR35201MTRPBF | Integrated PWM controller + driver; supports Intel VR12.5/VR13; no separate TD pin for deadtime tuning. | Targeted at single-chip VRM solutions; lacks standalone driver flexibility for custom controller designs. | Choose IR35201MTRPBF when consolidating controller and driver functions is preferred over discrete optimization. |
| LM5113SDX/NOPB | High-speed dual driver with 5A sink, but no VR protocol awareness, diode emulation, or adaptive shoot-through; requires external deadtime circuitry. | Suitable for generic high-frequency DC/DC, not optimized for microprocessor VRM timing requirements. | Choose LM5113SDX/NOPB for non-VR applications needing higher peak current and simpler interface, accepting added design complexity. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the TD pin on the ISL6627IRZ-T?
The TD pin on the ISL6627IRZ-T programs deadtime behavior: connecting it to GND or VCC via a resistor selects fixed propagation delay (e.g., 17ns LGATE-fall-to-UGATE-rise), while leaving it floating enables adaptive shoot-through protection. This allows designers to optimize efficiency across varying MOSFET gate charge characteristics without redesigning layout or firmware. The ISL6627IRZ-T datasheet specifies resistor values and resulting delays in Table 1.
Does the ISL6627IRZ-T support diode emulation, and how is it activated?
Yes, the ISL6627IRZ-T supports diode emulation to improve light-load efficiency. It activates automatically upon detecting a PSI# signal from a compatible VR11.1 or VR12 controller on the PWM pin. Once enabled, the ISL6627IRZ-T monitors inductor current zero-crossing and turns off LGATE to enforce discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), eliminating reverse current conduction through the low-side MOSFET.
What is the function of the integrated 20kΩ resistor in the ISL6627IRZ-T?
The ISL6627IRZ-T integrates a 20kΩ resistor between UGATE and PHASE to prevent high-side MOSFET self-turn-on caused by Miller coupling during high dV/dt events at startup or transients. This eliminates the need for an external gate-to-source resistor while maintaining full drive strength and efficiency-verified in typical applications where input bus slew rates exceed 10V/ns.
Can the ISL6627IRZ-T be used with non-Intersil VR controllers?
Yes, the ISL6627IRZ-T operates in standard CCM PWM mode with any controller providing a compatible tri-state PWM signal (0V/2.5V/5V levels). However, VR11.1/VR12-specific features-including PSI-triggered diode emulation and diode braking-require Intersil-compatible controllers. For generic buck applications, the ISL6627IRZ-T delivers robust gate drive with adaptive shoot-through protection independent of controller vendor.
What thermal design considerations apply to the ISL6627IRZ-T package?
The ISL6627IRZ-T uses a 10-lead 3×3 mm DFN with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) requiring direct soldering to a GND plane. Intersil recommends ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, spaced ≤0.9mm apart) connecting EPAD to inner/outer GND layers to achieve θJC = 10°C/W. This minimizes junction temperature rise during 4A LGATE sink operation and supports continuous use at +85°C ambient.
