The NCP1631 incorporates an Under−Voltage Lockout
block to prevent the circuit from operating when the power

Output Drive Section
The circuit embeds two drivers to control the two
interleaved branches. Each output stage contains a totem
pole optimized to minimize the cross conduction current
during high frequency operation. The gate drive is kept in
a sinking mode whenever the Under−Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) is active or more generally whenever the circuit
is off. Its high current capability (−500 mA/+800 mA)
allows it to effectively drive high gate charge power
MOSFET.
