FEATURES DESCRIPTION
High Speed, High Voltage
High Side Gate Driver
The LT C
®
4440 is a high frequency high side N-channel
MOSFET gate driver that is designed to operate in ap-
plications with
V
IN
voltages up to 80V. The LTC4440 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
LTC4440’s
pull-up has a peak output current of 2.4A and
its pull-down has an output impedance of 1.5Ω.
The LTC4440 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 115V
above ground.
The LTC4440 contains both high side and low side under
-
voltage lockout circuits that disable the external MOSFET
when activated.
The LTC4440 is available in the low profile (1mm) SOT-23
and thermally enhanced 8-lead MSOP packages.
