The MIC5013 is an 8-pin MOSFET driver designed to drive the gate of an N-channel power MOSFET in high- or low-side applications with integrated over-current protection and a fault flag. It operates from 7V to 32V supply and has less than 1µA standby current in the OFF state. An internal charge pump generates gate drive voltage above the supply rail, with a 12.5V typical zener clamp for gate protection. The device has a typical turn-on time of 60µs to charge a 1nF load and supports programmable over-current trip thresholds via an external resistor. A fault output pin indicates over-current events. It is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The MIC5013 is an 8-pin MOSFET driver with over-current shutdown and a fault flag. It is designed to drive the gate of an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail high-side power switch applications. The MIC5013 is compatible with standard or current-sensing power MOSFETs in both high- and low-side driver topologies.
The MIC5013 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical and protects the MOSFET from over-current conditions. 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 MIC5013 has turned off the FET due to excessive current.
Other members of the driver family include the MIC5011 minimum parts count driver and MIC5012 dual driver.
