Micrel, Inc. MIC4424CWM

The MIC4424CWM is a dual non-inverting MOSFET driver in a 16-pin wide SOIC package, designed for driving capacitive, resistive, or inductive loads requiring high peak current and fast switching. It operates from 4.5V to 18V supply voltage and delivers 3A peak output current with a typical output resistance of 3.5Ω in the low state and 2.8Ω in the high state. The device has a typical delay time of 33ns and rise/fall times of 23ns and 25ns respectively when driving an 1800pF load. Input logic levels are TTL-compatible and independent of supply voltage, with inputs tolerant to -5V excursions. The driver is latch-up protected against reverse currents exceeding 500mA and can withstand 5V noise spikes on the ground pin. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C.
