IR3088A THEORY OF OPERATION
Block Diagram
The Block diagram of the IR3088A is shown in figure 6, and specific features are discussed in the following sections.
Tri-State Gate Drivers
The gate drivers can deliver up to 3A peak current. An adaptive non-overlap circuit monitors the voltage on the
GATEH and GATEL pins to prevent MOSFET shoot-through current while minimizing body diode conduction.
An Enable signal is provided by the Control IC to the Phase IC without the addition of a dedicated signal line. The
Error Amplifier output of the Control IC drives low in response to any fault condition such as input under voltage or
output overload. The IR3088A 0% duty cycle comparator detects this and drives both gate outputs low. This tri-state
operation prevents negative inductor current and negative output voltage during power-down.
The Gate Drivers revert to a high impedance “off” state if VCCL and VCCH supply voltages are below the normal
operating range. An 80kΩ resistor is connected across the GATEH/GATEL and PGND pins to prevent the
GATEH/GATEL voltage from rising due to leakage or other cause under these conditions.
Thermal Monitoring (VRHOT)
The IR3088A senses its own die temperature and produces a voltage at the input of the VRHOT comparator that is
proportional to temperature. An external resistor divider connected from VBIAS to the HOTSET pin and ground can
be used to program the thermal trip point of the VRHOT comparator. The VRHOT pin is an open-collector output and
should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. If the thermal trip point is reached the VRHOT output
drives low.
