Microchip Technology, Inc. Gate Drivers MIC4606-2YTS-T5

The MIC4606-2YTS-T5 is an 85V full-bridge MOSFET driver designed for applications requiring efficient power management. It operates within a gate drive supply voltage range of 5.5V to 16V, making it suitable for various systems, including battery-powered devices. The driver features advanced adaptive dead time control, which optimizes the switching times of high-side and low-side MOSFETs to enhance power efficiency. Additionally, it incorporates intelligent shoot-through protection to prevent simultaneous conduction of both MOSFETs on each side of the bridge, thereby safeguarding the circuit. This part number specifically utilizes two PWM inputs, allowing for flexible control in full-bridge configurations. The device is capable of driving a 1000 pF load with rise and fall times of 20 ns, and it has a low quiescent current of 235 ¬µA, contributing to overall energy efficiency. The MIC4606-2YTS-T5 is available in a compact 16-pin TSSOP package and operates over a wide temperature range of -40¬8C to +125¬8C, making it suitable for demanding environments. Its features make it a viable option for applications such as full-bridge motor drives, power inverters, and stepper motors.
