MOSFET drivers launched
24 July 2008
Single-output 1.5A MOSFET drivers in SOT-23 packages have been launched by Microchip.
The inverting MCP1415 and non-inverting MCP1416 MOSFET drivers are rated for a peak output current of 1.5A, over an operating voltage range of 4.5V-18V. Both devices are available in a 5pin SOT-23 package.
According to the company, owing to the package size, designers can position the MCP141X MOSFET gate driver close to the MOSFET’s physical gate connection, which minimises gate bounce caused by the parasitic PCB layout. This also minimises gate rise and fall times, propagation-delay times, and shoot-through current, all of which help to increase system efficiency and reduce power dissipation.
The MCP141X MOSFET drivers are claimed to be suitable for a variety of consumer electronic, industrial and medical applications, such as personal computers, laptops, portable measurement devices and centrifuges.
