The MIC26601YJL-TR is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Micrel Inc., which belongs to the MIC26601 family of high-voltage, multi-channel gate drivers. It is capable of driving high-side and low-side MOSFETs or IGBTs in half-bridge and full-bridge configurations.
One of the key features of this IC is its ability to operate at high-voltage levels up to 100V, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring high-voltage switching. It incorporates bootstrap diode circuitry that ensures efficient driving of high-side switches by generating the necessary voltage levels relative to the low-side driver.
The MIC26601YJL-TR includes two independent half-bridge drivers, each capable of sourcing and sinking up to 2A of current. This current capability allows it to efficiently drive power switches with higher gate capacitances, enhancing the overall power conversion efficiency.
Another important feature of this IC is its built-in protection mechanisms, which safeguard the MOSFETs or IGBTs from potential faults and damages. It offers under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection, over-temperature protection (OTP), and over-current protection (OCP). These protections ensure safe operation during abnormal operating conditions and increase the overall reliability of the system
