MIC4451/4452
12A-Peak Low-Side MOSFET Driver Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS Process
General Description
Features
MIC4451 and MIC4452 CMOS MOSFET drivers are robust, efficient, and easy to use. The MIC4451 is an inverting driver, while the MIC4452 is a non-inverting driver.
Both versions are capable of 12A (peak) output and can drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating margin. The MIC4451/4452 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.
