Microchip announces the MCP1415 and MCP1416 (MCP141X) single-output MOSFET drivers. The inverting MCP1415 and non-inverting MCP1416 MOSFET drivers are rated for a peak output current of 1.5A, over a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V – 18V. Both devices have excellent latch-up immunity and are available in a miniature 5-pin SOT-23 package.
Because of their small package size, designers can position the MCP141X MOSFET gate driver close to the MOSFET´s physical gate connection, which minimises gate bounce caused by the parasitic PCB layout. This also minimises gate rise-and-fall times, propagation-delay times and shoot-through current, all of which help to increase system efficiency and reduce power dissipation.
The MCP141X MOSFET drivers are well-suited for a variety of consumer electronic, industrial and medical applications that use power supplies. Examples include personal computers (PCs), laptops, portable measurement devices and centrifuges, among others. Samples are available today at http://sample.microchip.com, and volume production orders can be placed today at www.microchipdirect.com.
