MIC5016/5017
Low-Cost Dual High- or Low-Side MOSFET Driver
Final Information
General Description
Features
MIC5016 and MIC5017 dual MOSFET drivers are designed
for gate control of N-channel, enhancement-mode, power
MOSFETs used as high-side or low-side switches. The
MIC5016/7 can sustain an on-state output indefinitely.
• 2.75V to 30V operation
• 100µA maximum supply current (5V supply)
• 15µA typical off-state current
• Internal charge pump
• TTL compatible input
TheMIC5016/7operatesfroma2.75Vto30Vsupply. Inhigh-
side 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.
• Withstands 60V transient (load dump)
• Reverse battery protected to –20V
• Inductive spike protected to –20V
• Overvoltage shutdown at 35V
• Internal 15V gate protection
• Minimum external parts
• Operates in high-side or low-side configurations
• 1µA control input pull-off
The MIC5016/7 has two TTL compatible control inputs. The
MIC5016 is noninverting while the MIC5017 is inverting.
The MIC5016/7 features internal charge pumps that can
sustain gate voltages greater than the available supply
voltage. The driver is capable of turning on logic-level
MOSFETs from a 2.75V supply or standard MOSFETs from
a 5V supply. Gate-to-source output voltages are internally
limited to approximately 15V.
• Inverting and noninverting versions
Applications
• Automotive electrical load control
• Battery-powered computer power management
• Lamp control
• Heater control
• Motor control
The MIC5016/7 is protected against automotive load dump,
reversed battery, and inductive load spikes of –20V. The
driver’s overvoltage shutdown feature turns off the external
MOSFETs at approximately 35V to protect the load against
power supply excursions.
• Power bus switching
The MIC5016 is an improved pin-for-pin compatible replace-
ment in many MIC5012 applications.
Ordering Information
The MIC5016/7 is available in plastic 14-pin DIP and 16-pin
SOIC pacakges.
