MICROCHIP Single 9A MOSFET Driver, TO220-5

The MICROCHIP Single 9A MOSFET Driver is a high-current, rugged, and efficient buffer/driver designed for driving large MOSFETs and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). It is perfectly suited for local power on/off switching and LF initiation. This device features matched output rise and fall times, alongside matched leading and falling-edge propagation delay times, ensuring precise and reliable switching performance.

Engineered for robustness, the driver possesses very low cross-conduction current, which significantly reduces overall power dissipation. It is essentially immune to latch-up under any conditions within its power and voltage ratings and withstands up to 5V of ground bounce on its ground terminals. The input can withstand negative swings up to 5V, providing excellent noise immunity.

Key Performance Features

• High capacitive load drive capability: drives 10nF in 25ns
• Low output impedance: 800mΩ
• Low supply current: 450μA with logic 1 input
• Withstands up to 1.5A of output reverse current
• Reduced shoot-through and cross-conduction current in the output stage

This low-side driver features a non-inverting input type, with a robust source and sink current of 10A. Operating within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and an impressive temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, this through-hole TO-220 packaged component is highly versatile. It also carries the AEC-Q100 qualification, making it suitable for demanding environments. Please note: this is an ESD sensitive device, requiring proper handling precautions.

Measuring 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, with a lightweight design of just 0.104 grams, it is compact and easy to integrate into various circuit layouts.
