MIC4421/4422
9A-Peak Low-Side MOSFET Driver
Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS Process
General Description
MIC4421 and MIC4422 MOSFET drivers are rugged, ef-
ficient, and easy to use. The MIC4421 is an inverting driver,
while the MIC4422 is a non-inverting driver.
Both versions are capable of 9A (peak) output and can drive
the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating mar-
gin. The MIC4421/4422 accepts any logic input from 2.4V to
V
S
without external speed-up capacitors or resistor networks.
Proprietary circuits allow the input to swing negative by as
much as 5V without damaging the part. Additional circuits
protect against damage from electrostatic discharge.
MIC4421/4422 drivers can replace three or more discrete
components, reducing PCB area requirements, simplifying
product design, and reducing assembly cost.
Modern Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS construction guarantees
freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability of
CMOS/DMOS insures adequate gate voltage to the MOS-
FET during power up/down sequencing. Since these devices
are fabricated on a self-aligned process, they have very low
crossover current, run cool, use little power, and are easy
to drive.
