MIC5014 and MIC5015 MOSFET drivers are designed for gate control of N-channel, enhancement-mode, power MOSFETs used as high-side or low-side switches. ¡El MIC5014/5 can sustain an on-state output indefinitely. ¡El MIC5014/5 operates from a 2.75V to 30V supply. In highside configurations, the driver can control MOSFETs that switch loads of up to 30V. In low-side configurations, with separate supplies, the maximum switched voltage is limited only by the MOSFET. ¡El MIC5014/5 has a TTL compatible control input. ¡El MIC5014 is noninverting while the MIC5015 is inverting. ¡El MIC5014/5 features an internal charge pump that can sustain a gate voltage greater than the available supply voltage. ¡El driver is capable of turning on a logic-level MOSFET from a 2.75V supply or a standard MOSFET from a 5V supply. ¡El gate-to-source output voltage is internally limited to approximately 15V. ¡El MIC5014/5 is protected against automotive load dump, reversed battery, and inductive load spikes of –20V. ¡El driver’s overvoltage shutdown feature turns off the external MOSFET at approximately 35V to protect the load against power supply excursions.
