MIC4605 Gate Drivers

Microchip Technology MIC4605 Gate Drivers are 85V half-bridge MOSFET drivers with adaptive dead time and shoot-through protection. This adaptive dead-time circuitry monitors the half-bridge and low-side MOSFET transitions that maximize power efficiency. The shoot-through protection circuitry prevents erroneous inputs and noise from turning both MOSFETs on at the same time. The MIC4605 gate drivers offer a wide 5.5V to 16V operating supply voltage range to maximize system efficiency. The low voltage offers longer run times in battery-powered applications. This adjustable gate drive sets gate drive voltage up to V_DD for optimal MOSFET R_DS(ON), which minimizes power loss due to MOSFETs R_DS(ON). The gate drivers come in an 8-pin SOIC package and a tiny 10-pin TDFN package and operate at -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Typical applications include fans, power inverters, and e-bikes.
