Microchip MIC4422ZT MOSFET Gate Driver 1, 9 A, 18V 5-Pin, TO-220

The Microchip MOSFET drivers are rugged, efficient, and easy to use non-inverting driver. Capable of 9 A (peak) output and can drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating margin. It 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.

BiCMOS/DMOS construction
Latch-up proof fully isolated process is inherently
Immune to any latch-up
Input will withstand negative swing of up to5V
Matched rise and fall times 25 ns
Wide operating range4.5 V to 18 V
High capacitive load drive47,000 pF

The drivers can replace three or more discrete components, reducing PCB area requirements, simplifying product design, and reducing assembly cost. Modern Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS construction guarantees freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability of
