GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIC44F18, MIC44F19 and MIC44F20 are highspeed single MOSFET drivers capable of sinking and sourcing 6A for driving capacitive loads. With delay times of less than 15ns and rise times into a 1000pF load of 10ns, these MOSFET drivers are ideal for driving large gate charge MOSFETs in power supply applications. The MIC44F18 is a non-inverting driver, Fabricated using Micrel’s proprietary BiCMOS/DMOS process for low power consumption and high efficiency, the MIC44F18/19/20 translates TTL or CMOS input logic levels to output voltage levels that swing within 25mV of the positive supply or ground. Comparable bipolar devices are capable of swinging only to within 1V of the supply. Other features include an enable function, latch-up protection, and a programmable UVLO function. The MIC44F18/19/20 has a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C with exposed pad ePAD MSOP-8 and 2mm x 2mm MLF®-8 package options. Data sheets and support documentation can be found on Micr...
