FeaTures DescripTion
High Speed, High Voltage,
High Side Gate Driver
The LTC
®
4440A-5 is a high frequency high side N-channel
MOSFET gate driver that is designed to operate in applica-
tions with V
IN
voltages up to 80V. The LTC4440A-5 can
also withstand and continue to function during 100V V
IN
transients. The powerful driver capability reduces switch-
ing losses in MOSFETs with high gate capacitances. The
L
TC4440A-5’
s pull-up has a peak output current of 1.1A
and its pull-down has an output impedance of 1.85Ω.
The LTC4440A-5 features supply independent TTL/CMOS
compatible input thresholds with 350mV of hysteresis.
The input logic signal is internally level-shifted to the
bootstrapped supply, which may function at up to 95V
above ground.
The LTC4440A-5 is optimized for driving (5V) logic level
FETs and contains an undervoltage lockout circuit that
disables the external MOSFET when activated.
The LTC4440A-5 is available in the thermally enhanced
8-lead MSOP package.
