MIC5031
High-Speed High-Side MOSFET Driver
Not Recommended for New Designs
General Description
Features
The MIC5031 MOSFET driver is designed to switch an
N-channel enhancement-type MOSFET from a TTL control
signal in a high-side switch application. The MIC5031 pro-
vides overcurrent protection, can accommodate loads with
high-inrush current, and is designed to survive automotive
power disturbances. This driver is suitable for up to 30kHz
PWM operation with 0% to 100% duty cycle.
• +4.5V to +30V operation
• Fast gate drive
(rise time = 70ns, fall time = 50ns,
with 1000pF load and 5V supply)
• Overcurrent detection across MOSFET
• Overcurrent shutdown delay
• Charge pump for high-side dc applications
• TTL compatible input
• Overtemperature shutdown
• Automotive load dump protection
• Reverse battery protection
• Open-collector fault flag
The MIC5031 is powered by the +4.5V to +30V load voltage.
An external bootstrap capacitor and internal charge pump
drive the gate output higher than the supply voltage. The
bootstrap capacitor provides speed, while the charge pump
can sustain the high gate output voltage continuously.
• Near zero-current disable state
The MIC5031 features a resistor programmable overcurrent
shutdown (circuit breaker) function that monitors the voltage
drop across the external MOSFET. A capacitor program-

energized without causing undesired shutdown. An open-
load detection feature is included and can be used by adding
an external high-value resistor.
Applications
• Automotive power switch
• Automotive PWM control
• Circuit breaker
• PWM circuits
