Micrel MIC4421CT

Low-Side14,5 В ~ 18 В

Overview

MIC4421A and MIC4422A MOSFET drivers are rugged, efficient, and easy to use. The MIC4421A is an inverting driver, while the MIC4422A is a non-inverting driver.Both versions are capable of 9A (peak) output and can drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating margin. The MIC4421A/4422A accepts any logic input from 2.4V to VS without external speed-up capacitors or resistor networks. Proprietary circuits allow the input to swing negative by as much as 5V without damaging the part. Additional circuits protect against damage from electrostatic discharge.MIC4421A/4422A drivers can replace three or more discrete components, reducing PCB area requirements, simplifying product design, and reducing assembly cost.Modern Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS construction guarantees freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability of CMOS/DMOS helps ensure adequate gate voltage to the MOSFET during power up/down sequencing. Since these devices are fabricated on a self-aligned process, they have very low crossover current, run cool, use little power, and are easy to drive.
