General Description
The MIC4123/4124/4125 family are highly reliable
BiCMOS/DMOS buffer/driver/MOSFET drivers. They
are higher output current versions of the
MIC4126/4127/4128, which are improved versions of
the MIC4426/4427/4428. All three families are
pin-compatible. The MIC4123/4/5 drivers are capable
of providing reliable service in more demanding
electrical environments than their predecessors. They
will not latch under any conditions within their power
and voltage ratings. They can survive up to 5V of noise
spiking, of either polarity, on the ground pin. They can
accept, without either damage or logic upset, up to half
an amp of reverse current (either polarity) forced back
into their outputs.
The MIC4123/4/5 series drivers are easier to use, more
flexible in operation, and more forgiving than other
CMOS or bipolar drivers currently available. Their
BiCMOS/DMOS construction dissipates minimum
power and provides rail-to-rail voltage swings.
Primarily intended for driving power MOSFETs, the
MIC4123/4/5 drivers are suitable for driving other loads
(capacitive, resistive, or inductive) that require
low-impedance, high peak currents, and fast switching
times. Heavily loaded clock lines, coaxial cables, or
piezoelectric transducers are some examples. The
only known limitation on loading is that total power
dissipated in the driver must be kept within the
maximum power dissipation limits of the package.

Conditions
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
junction temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e., T
A
, T
J
,
JA
). Exceeding the
maximum allowable power dissipation will cause the device operating junction temperature to exceed the
maximum +125°C rating. Sustained junction temperatures above +125°C can impact the device reliability.
