SGM48521
5V, 7A/6A Low-Side GaN and
MOSFET Driver with 1ns Pulse Width
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The high-speed, single-channel low-side driver
SGM48521 is designed to drive GaN FETs and logic
level MOSFETs. Application areas include LiDAR, time
of flight, facial recognition, and power converters using
low-side drivers. The SGM48521 provides 7A source
and 6A sink output current capability. Split output
configuration allows individual turn-on and turn-off time
optimization depending on FET. Package and pinout
with minimum parasitic inductances reduce the rise and
fall time and limit the ringing. Additionally, the 2.2ns
propagation delay with minimized tolerances and
variations allows efficient operation at high frequencies.
