Microchip Technology

The MIC4605 is an 85 V half-bridge MOSFET gate driver that features adaptive-dead-time and shoot-through protection. The adaptive-dead-time circuitry actively monitors the half-bridge outputs to minimize the time between high-side and low-side MOSFET transitions, thus maximizing power efficiency. Anti-shoot-through circuitry prevents erroneous inputs and noise from turning both MOSFETS on at the same time. The MIC4605 also offers a wide 5.5 V to 16 V operating supply range to maximize system efficiency. The low 5.5 V operating voltage allows longer run times in battery-powered applications. Additionally, the MIC4605’s adjustable gate drive sets the gate drive voltage to VDD for optimal MOSFET RDS(ON), which minimizes power loss due to the MOSFET’s RDS(ON). The MIC4605 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package and a tiny 10-pin 2.5 × 2.5 mm TDFN package. Both packages have an operating junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C

The MIC4606 is an 85 V 1 A full-bridge MOSFET gate driver that features adaptive dead time and shoot-through protection. The adaptive dead time circuitry actively monitors both sides of the full-bridge to minimize the time between high-side and low-side MOSFET transitions, thus maximizing power efficiency. Anti shoot-through circuitry prevents erroneous inputs and noise from turning both MOSFETs of each side of the bridge on at the same time. The MIC4606 also offers a wide 5.5 V to 16 V operating supply range to maximize system efficiency. The low 5.5V operating voltage allows longer run times in battery-powered applications. Additionally, the MIC4606's adjustable gate drive sets the gate drive voltage to VDD for optimal MOSFET RDS(ON), which minimizes power loss due to the MOSFET's RDS(ON). The MC4606-1 features four independent inputs while the MIC4606-2 utilizes two PWM inputs, one for each side of the H-bridge. The MIC4606-1 and MIC4606-2 are available in a 16-pin 4 x 4mm QFN package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

The MIC4680 SuperSwitcher™ is an easy-to-use fixed or adjustable output voltage step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulator. The 200kHz MIC4680 achieves up to 1.3A of continuous output current over a wide input range in a 8-pin SOIC. The MIC4680 is available in 3.3V and 5V fixed output versions or adjustable output down to 1.25V. The MIC4680 has an input voltage range of 4V to 34V, with excellent line, load, and transient response. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under fault conditions. In shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 2µA of standby current. The MIC4680 SuperSwitcher™ regulator requires a minimum number of external components and can operate using a standard series of inductors and capacitors. Frequency compensation is provided internally for fast transient response and ease of use. The MIC4680 is available in the 8-pin SOIC with a -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.

The MIC4682 is an easy-to-use step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulator. It features a programmable current limit that allows 10% current limit accuracy over its full operating temperature range. The precision current limit makes the MIC4682 ideal for constant-voltage constant-current applications, such as simple battery chargers. The precision current limit also gives designers the ability to set the maximum output current below the saturation current rating of the inductor. This allows the use of the smallest possible inductors for a given application, saving valuable space and cost. The MIC4682 is a very robust device. Its 4V to 34V input voltage range allows the MIC4682 to safely be used in applications where voltage transients may be present. Additional protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting and over-temperature shutdown. The MIC4682 is available in a thermally optimized power SO-8 package that allows it to achieve 2A of continuous output current. The MIC4682 requires a minimum number of external components and can operate using a standard series of inductors. Compensation is provided internally for fast transient response and ease of use. The MIC4682 is available in the 8-lead power SOP with a -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
