description
The TPS2832 and TPS2833 are MOSFET drivers for synchronous-buck power stages. These devices are ideal
for designing a high-performance power supply using a switching controller that does not include suitable
MOSFET drivers on the chip. The drivers are designed to deliver 2.4-A peak currents into large capacitive loads.
Higher currents can be controlled by using multiple drivers in a multiphase configuration. The high-side driver
can be configured as a ground-reference driver or as a floating bootstrap driver. An adaptive dead-time control
circuit eliminates shoot-through currents through the main power FETs during switching transitions and provides
high efficiency for the buck regulator.
The TPS2832 has a noninverting input. The TPS2833 has an inverting input. The TPS2832/33 drivers, available
in 8-terminal SOIC packages, operate over a junction temperature range of 40

detailed description
low-side driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive low Rds(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is
2 A, source and sink.
high-side driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive low Rds(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is
2 A, source and sink. The high-side driver can be configured as a ground-reference driver or a floating bootstrap
driver. The internal bootstrap diode, is a Schottky for improved drive efficiency. The maximum voltage that can
be applied between the BOOT terminal and ground is 30 V.
deadtime (DT) control
Deadtime control prevents shoot through current from flowing through the main power FETs during switching
transitions by controlling the turn-on times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver is not allowed to turn
on until the gate drive voltage to the low-side FET is low, and the low-side driver is not allowed to turn on until
the voltage at the junction of the power FETs (Vdrn) is low; the DT terminal connects to the junction of the power
FETs.
IN
The IN terminal is a digital terminal that is the input control signal for the drivers. The TPS2832 has a noninverting
input; the TPS2833 has an inverting input.
High-level input voltages on IN and DT must be greater than or equal to VCC.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES:
3. Ensured by design, not production tested.
4. The pull-up/pull-down circuits of the drivers are bipolar and MOSFET transistors in parallel. The peak output current rating is the
combined current from the bipolar and MOSFET transistors. The output resistance is the Rds(on) of the MOSFET transistor when
the voltage on the driver output is less than the saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor.
