MIC4421A/4422A
9A Peak Low-Side MOSFET Driver
Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS Process
General Description
MIC4421A and MIC4422A MOSFET drivers are rugged,
efficient, and easy to use. The MIC4421A is an inverting
driver, while the MIC4422A is a non-inverting driver.
Both versions are capable of 9A (peak) output and can
drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe
operating margin. The MIC4421A/4422A accepts any logic
input from 2.4V to V
S
without external speed-up capacitors
or resistor networks. Proprietary circuits allow the input to
swing negative by as much as 5V without damaging the
part. Additional circuits protect against damage from
electrostatic discharge.
MIC4421A/4422A drivers can replace three or more
discrete components, reducing PCB area requirements,
simplifying product design, and reducing assembly cost.
Modern Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS construction guarantees
freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability of
CMOS/DMOS insures adequate gate voltage to the
MOSFET during power up/down sequencing. Since these
devices are fabricated on a self-aligned process, they have
very low crossover current, run cool, use little power, and
are easy to drive.
