Operation Descriptions
The RT9602 has power on protection function which
held UGATE and LGATE low before VCC up across
the rising threshold voltage. After the initialization, the
PWM signal takes the control. The rising PWM signal
first forces the LGATE signal turns low then UGATE
signal is allowed to go high just after a nonoverlapping time to avoid shoot-through current. The
falling of PWM signal first forces UGATE to go low.
When
UGATE
and
PHASE
signal
reach
The RT9602 implements a power on over-voltage

protection function. If the PHASE voltage exceeds
1.5V at power on, the LGATE would be turn on to pull
the PHASE low until the PHASE voltage goes below
1.5V. Such function can protect the CPU from
damage by some short condition happened before
power on, which is sometimes encountered in the
M/B manufacturing line.
predetermined low level, LGATE signal is allowed to

turn high. The non-overlapping function is also
presented between UGATE and LGATE signal
transient.
The PWM signal is recognized as high if above rising
threshold and as low if below falling threshold. Any
signal level in this window is considered as tri-state,
which causes turn-off of both high side and low-side
MOSFET.
When
PWM
input
is
floating
(not
connected), internal divider will pull the PWM to 1.9V

to give the controller a recognizable level. The
maximum sink/source capability of internal PWM
reference is 60A.
The PVCC pin provides flexibility of both high side
and low side MOSFET gate drive voltages. If 8V, for
example, is applied to PVCC, then high side
MOSFET
gate
drive
is
8V-1.5V(approximately,
internal diode plus series resistance voltage drop).

The low side gate drive voltage is exactly 8V.
