The MIC4426BM-TR is an IC component developed by Micrel Inc. It is a high-speed, non-inverting MOSFET driver designed to drive MOSFETs and IGBTs in low-side applications. This driver is specifically designed to facilitate efficient high-frequency switching, making it ideal for applications such as power supplies, motor control, and battery-powered systems.
One of the key features of the MIC4426BM-TR is its ability to provide a high peak output current, which allows it to control large capacitive loads and drive MOSFETs quickly. With a peak output current of 1.5A and a propagation delay of just 25ns, it ensures fast and efficient switching.
Another notable feature is the low shoot-through current, which prevents simultaneous conduction of both MOSFETs and reduces power dissipation. This feature is essential in high-frequency applications where minimizing energy loss is crucial.
Furthermore, the MIC4426BM-TR has a wide operating voltage range, from 4.5V to 18V, making it compatible with various power supply voltages. It also has an on-chip under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis feature, which ensures that the driver operates within a safe and reliable voltage range to protect the MOSFET.
The MIC4426BM-TR incorporates a low-resistance and high-performance CMOS process, resulting in lower power consumption and improved efficiency
