Intersil ISL6609/ISL6609A MOSFET Driver Datasheet
The ISL6609 and ISL6609A are high‑frequency MOSFET drivers optimized for driving two N‑Channel power MOSFETs in a synchronous‑rectified buck converter. They include adaptive shoot‑through protection, a low‑bias 5 V supply, and a 4 A typical sink current for the lower gate driver.
The document details electrical specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin descriptions, layout recommendations, and typical application circuits. It also includes ordering information, package dimensions, and design guidelines for bootstrap capacitors and thermal management.
