MIC5016/5017
Low-Cost Dual High- or Low-Side MOSFET Driver Final Information
General Description
MIC5016 and MIC5017 dual MOSFET drivers are designed for gate control of N-channel, enhancement-mode, power MOSFETs used as high-side or low-side switches. The MIC5016/7 can sustain an on-state output indefinitely.
The MIC5016/7 operates from a 2.75V to 30V supply. In highside configurations, the driver can control MOSFETs that switch loads of up to 30V. In low-side configurations, with separate supplies, the maximum switched voltage is limited only by the MOSFET.
The MIC5016/7 has two TTL compatible control inputs. The MIC5016 is noninverting while the MIC5017 is inverting.
The MIC5016/7 features internal charge pumps that can sustain gate voltages greater than the available supply voltage. The driver is capable of turning on logic-level MOSFETs from a 2.75V supply or standard MOSFETs from a 5V supply. Gate-to-source output voltages are internally limited to approxima.
