Micrel MIC5012
The MIC5012 is the dual 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 highside power switch applications. The 14-pin MIC5012 is extremely easy to use, requiring only a power FET and nominal supply decoupling to implement either a high- or low-side switch.| Part No. | MIC5012 |

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIC5012 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical. Operation down to 4.75V allows the MIC5012 to drive standard MOSFETs in 5V low-side applications by boosting the gate voltage above the logic supply. In addition, multiple, paralleled MOSFETs can be driven by a single MIC5012 for ultrahigh current applications. Other members of the Micrel driver family include the MIC5010 full-featured driver, MIC5011 minimum parts count driver, and MIC5013 protected 8-pin driver.FEATURES
