MIC5060

The MIC5060 MOSFET gate driver is designed for gate control of N-Channel, enhancement-mode, and power MOSFETs used as high-side or low-side switches. The MIC5060 can sustain an on-state output indefinitely.

The MIC5060 operates from a 2.75 V to 30 V supply. In high-side configurations, the driver can control MOSFETs that switch loads of up to 30 V. In low-side configurations, with separate supplies, the maximum switched voltage is limited only by the MOSFET.

The MIC5060 has a non-inverting, TTL-compatible control input. The MIC5060 features an internal charge pump that can sustain a gate voltage greater than the available supply voltage. The driver is capable of turning on a logic-level MOSFET from a 2.75 V supply or a standard MOSFET from a 5 V supply. The gate-to-source output voltage is internally limited to approximately 15 V.

The MIC5060 is protected against automotive load dump, reversed battery, and inductive load spikes of -20 V. The driver's overvoltage shutdown feature turns off the external MOSFET at approximately 35 V to protect the load against power supply excursions. The MIC5060 is available in a 3 x 3 mm MLF® package.
