Micrel MIC5010
The MIC5010 is the full-featured member of the Micrel MIC501X driver family. These ICs are designed to drive the gate of an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail in high-side power switch applications. The MIC5010 is compatible with standard or current-sensing power FETs in both high- and low-side driver topologies.| Part No. | MIC5010 |

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIC5010 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical and protects the MOSFET from over-current conditions. Faster switching is achieved by adding two 1nF charge pump capacitors. The current sense trip point is fully programmable and a dynamic threshold allows high in-rush current loads to be started. A fault pin indicates when the MIC5010 has turned off the FET due to excessive current. Other members of the Micrel driver family include the MIC5011 minimum parts count 8 pin driver, MIC5012 dual driver, and MIC5013 protected 8 pin driver.FEATURES
