FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4441/LTC4441-1 is an N-channel MOSFET gate
driver that can supply up to 6A of peak output current. The
chip is designed to operate with a supply voltage of up to
25V and has an adjustable linear regulator for the gate
drive. The gate drive voltage can be programmed between
5V and 8V.
■
6A Peak Output Current
■
Wide VIN Supply Range: 5V to 25V
■
Adjustable Gate Drive Voltage: 5V to 8V
■
Logic Input can be Driven Below Ground
■
30ns Propagation Delay
■
Supply Independent CMOS/TTL Input Thresholds
■
Undervoltage Lockout
The LTC4441/LTC4441-1 features a logic threshold driver
input. This input can be driven below ground or above the
driver supply. A dual function control input is provided to
disable the driver or to force the chip into shutdown mode
with <12µA of supply current. Undervoltage lockout and
overtemperature protection circuits will disable the driver
output when activated. The LTC4441 also comes with an
open-drain output that provides adjustable leading edge
blanking to prevent ringing when sensing the source
current of the power MOSFETs.
