Texas Instruments SN6505A

Description

The SN6505 is a low-noise, low-EMI push-pulltransformer driver, specifically designed for smallform factor, isolated power supplies. It drives lowprofile,center-tapped transformers from a 2.25 V to5 V DC power supply. Ultra-low noise and EMI areachieved by slew rate control of the output switchvoltage and through Spread Spectrum Clocking(SSC). The SN6505 consists of an oscillator followedby a gate drive circuit that provides thecomplementary output signals to drive groundreferencedN-channel power switches. The deviceincludes two 1-A Power-MOSFET switches to ensurestart-up under heavy loads. The switching clock canalso be provided externally for accurate placement ofswitcher harmonics, or when operating with multipletransformer drivers. The internal protection featuresinclude a 1.7A current limiting, under-voltage lockout,thermal shutdown, and break-before-make circuitry.SN6505 includes a soft-start feature that preventshigh inrush current during power up with large loadcapacitors. The SN6505 is available in a small 6-pinSOT23/DBV package. The device operation ischaracterized for a temperature range from –55°C to125°C.
