Fully Enhances N-Channel Power MOSFETs
12µA Standby Current
Operates at Supply Voltages from 9V to 24V
Short Circuit Protection
Easily Protected Against Supply Transients
Controlled Switching ON and OFF Times
No External Charge Pump Components
Compatible With Standard Logic Families
Available in 8-Pin SOIC
The LTC1255 dual high-side driver allows using low
cost N-channel FETs for high-side industrial and auto-
motiveswitchingapplications.Aninternalchargepump
boosts the gate drive voltage above the positive rail,
fully enhancing an N-channel MOS switch with no
external components. Low power operation, with 12µA
standby current, allows use in virtually all systems with
maximum efficiency.
Included on-chip is independent overcurrent sensing
toprovideautomaticshutdownincaseofshortcircuits.
A time delay can be added to the current sense to
prevent false triggering on high in-rush current loads.
