FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM27222 is a dual N-channel MOSFET driver

Adaptive Shoot-through Protection
designed to drive MOSFETs in push-pull
10ns Dead Time
configurations as typically used in synchronous buck

regulators. The LM27222 takes the PWM output from
a controller and provides the proper timing and drive

levels to the power stage MOSFETs. Adaptive shoot-

circuitry also reduces the dead time down to as low

as 10ns, ensuring the highest operating efficiency.
Configuration
The peak sourcing and sinking current for each driver
of the LM27222 is about 3A and 4.5Amps
4V to 6.85V Operating Voltage
respectively with a Vgs of 5V. System performance is

currents by supporting synchronous, non-
synchronous, and diode emulation modes through the
