General Description
The RT9600 is a high frequency, dual MOSFET driver specifically designed to drive two power NChannel MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck converter topology. This driver combined with a RT9237 Multi-Phase Buck PWM controller form a complete core-voltage regulator solution for advanced microprocessors.

Features
• Drives Two N-Channel MOSFETs
• Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
• Internal Bootstrap Device
• Supports High Switching Frequency
   − Fast Output Rise Time
   − Propagation Delay 30ns
• Small SOP-8 Package
• Dual Gate-Drive Voltages for Optimal Efficiency
• Three-State Input for Bridge Shutdown
• Supply Under Voltage Protection
• High Side Short Circuit Protection

Applications
• Core Voltage Supplies for Intel Pentium™ 4, AMD® AthlonTM Microprocessors
• High Frequency Low Profile DC-DC Converters
• High Current Low Voltage DC-DC Converters
