TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Dual High Side
Micropower MOSFET Driver
The LT C
®
1155 dual high side gate driver allows using low
cost N-channel FETs for high side switching applications.
An internal charge pump boosts the gate above the posi-
tive rail, fully enhancing an N-channel MOSFET with no
external components. Micropower operation, with 8µA
standby current and 85µA operating current, allows use
in virtually all systems with
maximum efficiency.
Included on-chip is overcurrent sensing to provide au-
tomatic shutdown in case of short circuits. A time delay
can be added in series with the current sense to prevent
false triggering on high in-rush loads such as capacitors
and incandescent lamps.
The LTC1155 operates off of a 4.5V to 18V supply input and
safely drives the gates of virtually all FETs. The
LTC1155
is well suited for low voltage (battery-powered) applica-
tions, particularly where micropower “sleep” operation
is required.
The LTC1155 is available in both 8-pin PDIP and 8-pin
SO packages.
