Visit the IXRFDSM607X2 Web Page: https://ixysrf.com/product/ixrfdsm607x2/
The IXRFDSM607X2 is a dual CMOS high-speed, high-current gate driver specifically designed to drive MOSFETs in Class D and E HF RF applications as well as other applications requiring ultrafast rise and fall times or short minimum pulse widths.
The IXRFDSM607X2 can source and sink 7 A of peak current per driver, 15 A when combined, while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 5 ns and minimum pulse widths of 8 ns. The inputs of the driver are compatible with TTL or CMOS and are fully immune to latch up over the entire operating range.
Designed with small internal delays, cross conduction or current shoot-through is virtually eliminated. The features and wide safety margin in operating voltage and power make the IXRFDSM607X2 unmatched in performance and value.
The surface mount IXRFDSM607X2 is packaged in a low-inductance surface mount package incorporating advanced layout techniques to minimize stray lead inductances for optimum switching performance. The input and output pins can be separated or combined for dual or single driver operation. However, both sides are ground referenced together and cannot be operated ground isolated from each other..

14. Driver Construction
The following slides are a combined overview of both device construction and SPICE
modeling for the driver
All schematics are drawn using LTSPICE
Modeled in LTSPICE (Linear Technologies)
The driver model is available on the IXYSRF web site
14
15. Driver Construction
The driver output stage utilizes a PMOS and NMOS MOSFET in a half-bridge topology
Input is a capacitive loaded pre-driver and level shifter with hysteresis
15
16. Driver Model
The model includes sub circuit directives to adjust output resistance for PMOS and NMOS
depending on driver
Pre-driver and level shifter A1 uses parameters to set the voltage, input threshold, and input
hysteresis

17. Driver Circuit Example
This top level schematic represents a 7MHz full-bridge resonant generator as an example
This triangular symbol is how the driver is represented in the top level schematic
Drivers work in a complementary fashion to drive both ends of a resonant tank

21. 21Solutions For Common Issues
Bulk and Bypass Capacitance
Bulk capacitance provides the energy needed to charge the gate during switching
Typical values are in the micro Farad range
Not enough energy storage results in voltage sag during switching events
22. 22Solutions For Common Issues
Bulk and Bypass Capacitance
Bypass capacitance provides the decoupling needed to reduce switching noise and ringing
Typical values are in the nano Farad range
Due to self-resonance, values are an order of magnitude apart to provide over-lapping impedance
curves
Over-lapping impedance curves lowers insertion impedance over a broad band
Ideal response Self resonance response Over-lapping
impedance curves
23. Applications 23
Class D and E RF generators
Multi-MHz switch mode power supplies
Pulsed and resonant transformer drivers
Pulsed laser diode drivers
High speed transducer drivers
