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.
Additional Features
+7.0V to +32V operation
Less than 1µA current in the "off" state
Internal charge pump to drive the gate of an N-channel power FET above supply
Available in small outline SOIC packages
Internal zener clamp for gate protection
60µs typical turn-on time to 50% gate overdrive
Programmable over-current sensing
Dynamic current threshold for high in-rush loads
Fault output pin indicates current faults
Implements high- or low-side switches
