Supply Bypassing and Grounding Practices,
Output Lead inductance
When designing a circuit to drive a high speed MOSFET
utilizing the IXDD404, it is very important to keep certain design
criteria in mind, in order to optimize performance of the driver.
Particular attention needs to be paid to Supply Bypassing,
Grounding, and minimizing the Output Lead Inductance.
Say, for example, we are using the IXDD404 to charge a 2500pF
capacitive load from 0 to 25 volts in 25ns.
Using the formula: I= ∆V C / ∆t, where ∆V=25V C=2500pF &
∆t=25ns we can determine that to charge 2500pF to 25 volts in
25ns will take a constant current of 2.5A. (In reality, the charging
current won’t be constant, and will peak somewhere around
4A).
SUPPLY BYPASSING
In order for our design to turn the load on properly, the IXDD404
must be able to draw this 2.5A of current from the power supply
in the 25ns. This means that there must be very low impedance
between the driver and the power supply. The most common
method of achieving this low impedance is to bypass the power
supply at the driver with a capacitance value that is a magnitude
larger than the load capacitance.
achieved by placing two different types of bypassing capacitors,
with complementary impedance curves, very close to the driver
itself. (These capacitors should be carefully selected, low
inductance, low resistance, high-pulse current-service
capacitors). Lead lengths may radiate at high frequency due
to inductance, so care should be taken to keep the lengths of
the leads between these bypass capacitors and the IXDD404
to an absolute minimum.
GROUNDING
In order for the design to turn the load off properly, the IXDD404
must be able to drain this 2.5A of current into an adequate
grounding system. There are three paths for returning current
that need to be considered: Path #1 is between the IXDD404
and it’s load. Path #2 is between the IXDD404 and it’s power
supply. Path #3 is between the IXDD404 and whatever logic
is driving it. All three of these paths should be as low in
resistance and inductance as possible, and thus as short as
practical. In addition, every effort should be made to keep these
three ground paths distinctly separate.
instance), the returning ground current from the load may
develop a voltage that would have a detrimental effect on the
logic line driving the IXDD404.
OUTPUT LEAD INDUCTANCE
Of equal importance to Supply Bypassing and Grounding are
issues related to the Output Lead Inductance. Every effort
should be made to keep the leads between the driver and it’s
load as short and wide as possible. If the driver must be placed
farther than 2” from the load, then the output leads should be
treated as transmission lines. In this case, a twisted-pair
should be considered, and the return line of each twisted pair
should be placed as close as possible to
driver, and connect directly to the ground terminal of the
load.
Usually, this would be

levels. The IXDD404 EN input was intentionally designed
for enhanced noise immunity with the high voltage CMOS
logic levels. In a typical gate driver application, V
and the EN input threshold at 7.5V, a 5V CMOS logical high
input applied to this typical IXDD404 application’s EN input
will be misinterpreted as a logical low, and may cause
undesirable or unexpected results. The note below is for
optional adaptation of TTL or 5V CMOS levels.
The circuit in Figure 28 alleviates this potential logic level
misinterpretation by translating a TTL or 5V CMOS logic
input to high voltage CMOS logic levels needed by the
IXDD404 EN input. From the figure, V

logic power supply, typically between 3.3V to 5.5V.

Figure 28 will cause Q1 to be biased off. This results in Q1
collector being pulled up by R3 to V
high voltage CMOS logic high output. The high voltage
CMOS logical EN output applied to the IXDD404 EN input
will enable it, allowing the gate driver to fully function as a
±4 Amp output driver.
The total component cost of the circuit in Figure 28 is less
than $0.10 if purchased in quantities >1K pieces. It is
recommended that the physical placement of the level
translator circuit be placed close to the source of the TTL or
CMOS logic circuits to maximize noise rejection.
