General Description
MIC5016 and MIC5017 dual MOSFET drivers are designed
for gate control of N-channel, enhancement-mode, power
MOSFETs used as high-side or low-side switches. The
MIC5016/7 can sustain an on-state output indefinitely.
The MIC5016/7 operates from a 2.75V to 30V supply. In high-
side configurations, the driver can control MOSFETs that
switch loads of up to 30V. In low-side configurations, with
separate supplies, the maximum switched voltage is limited
only by the MOSFET.
The MIC5016/7 has two TTL compatible control inputs. The
MIC5016 is noninverting while the MIC5017 is inverting.
The MIC5016/7 features internal charge pumps that can
sustain gate voltages greater than the available supply
voltage. The driver is capable of turning on logic-level
MOSFETs from a 2.75V supply or standard MOSFETs from
a 5V supply. Gate-to-source output voltages are internally
limited to approximately 15V.
The MIC5016/7 is protected against automotive load dump,
reversed battery, and inductive load spikes of –20V. The
driver’s overvoltage shutdown feature turns off the external
MOSFETs at approximately 35V to protect the load against
power supply excursions.
The MIC5016 is an improved pin-for-pin compatible replace-
ment in many MIC5012 applications.
The MIC5016/7 is available in plastic 14-pin DIP and 16-pin
SOIC pacakges.
