MAX72463B#

The MAX72463B# is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAXIM family of devices. It is a quad-channel positive high voltage MOSFET driver, designed to drive capacitive loads in various industrial and automotive applications. The IC operates within a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 28V and can withstand transients up to 40V. It can drive four independent MOSFETs with a high peak output current of up to 4A, making it suitable for driving high capacitance loads. The IC also offers an adjustable dead-time feature that helps prevent shoot-through current in half-bridge and full-bridge inverters. One of the significant features of the MAX72463B# is its versatile digital control interface. It supports three different modes of operation: direct PWM mode, serial shift-register mode, and serial daisy-chaining mode. This flexibility allows easy integration with various microcontrollers and digital signal processors (DSPs). The IC offers advanced protection features, including under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-current protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown. These protections ensure safe and reliable operation of the system even in demanding conditions. Moreover, the device provides fault detection and reporting for each output channel, allowing for efficient diagnostics. The MAX72463B# is available in a compact SSOP-20 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications
