Dual-Power MOSFET Drivers

The MAX626/7/8 are dual monolithic power MOSFET drivers designed to translate TTL inputs to high voltage/current outputs. The MAX626 is a dual inverting power MOSFET driver. The MAX627 is a dual non-inverting power MOSFET driver, and the MAX628 contains one inverting section and one non-inverting section. Delay times are nearly independent of VDD {See Typical Operating Characteristics). High current output drivers rapidly charge and discharge the gate capacitance of even the largest power MOSFETs to within millivolts of the supply rail. This produces the power MOSFET's minimum ON resistance. The MAX626/7/8's high speed minimizes power losses in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters.
