Microchip | MIC4420YMM-TR

MIC4420YMM TR, MIC4429 and MIC429 MOSFET drivers are tough, efficient, and easy to use. The MIC4429 and MIC429 are inverting drivers, while the MIC4420 is a non-inverting driver. They are capable of 6 A (peak) output and can drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating margin.

The MIC4420/4429/429 accepts any logic input from 2.4 V to VS without external speed-up capacitors or resistor networks. Proprietary circuits allow the input to swing negative by as much as 5 V without damaging the part. Additional circuits protect against damage from electrostatic discharge. MIC4420/4429/429 drivers can replace three or more discrete components, reducing PCB area requirements, simplifying product design, and reducing assembly cost. Modern BiCMOS/DMOS construction guarantees freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability insures adequate gate voltage to the MOSFET during power up/down sequencing.
