MIC4416/4417
IttyBitty™ Low-Side MOSFET Driver
General Description
The MIC4416 and MIC4417 IttyBitty™ low-side MOSFET drivers are designed to switch an N-channel enhancementtype MOSFET from a TTL-compatible control signal in lowside switch applications. The MIC4416 is noninverting and the MIC4417 is inverting. These drivers feature short delays and high peak current to produce precise edges and rapid rise and fall times. Their tiny 4-lead SOT-143 package uses minimum space.
The MIC4416/7 is powered from a +4.5V to +18V supply voltage. The on-state gate drive output voltage is approximately equal to the supply voltage (no internal regulators or clamps). High supply voltages, such as 10V, are appropriate for use with standard N-channel MOSFETs.
