DESCRIPTION
High Speed Synchronous
N-Channel MOSFET Drivers
The LTC
®
4442 is a high frequency gate driver designed
to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck
DC/DC converter topology. The powerful driver capabil-
ity reduces switching losses in MOSFETs with high gate
capacitance.
The LTC4442 features a separate supply for the input
logic to match the signal swing of the controller IC. If the
input signal is not being driven, the LTC4442 activates a
shutdown mode that turns off both external MOSFETs.
The input logic signal is internally level-shifted to the
bootstrapped supply, which may function at up to 42V
above ground.
The LTC4442 contains undervoltage lockout circuits on
both the driver and logic supplies that turn off the external
MOSFETs when an undervoltage condition is present.
The LTC4442 and LTC4442-1 have different undervoltage
lockout thresholds to accommodate a wide variety of ap-
plications. An adaptive shoot-through protection feature is
also built-in to prevent power loss resulting from MOSFET
cross-conduction current.
The LTC4442/LTC4442-1 are available in the thermally
enhanced 8-lead MSOP package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC4442I/LTC4442I-1 are guaranteed to meet specifi cations
from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC4442E/LTC4442E-1 are guaranteed to meet
specifi cations from 0°C to 85°C with specifi cations over the –40°C to
85°C operating temperature range assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
