The MIC4467CN is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Micrel and is commonly used for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs in various applications. It is a high-speed, low-side MOSFET driver that provides optimal performance and reliability in switching applications. The MIC4467CN offers several key features that make it a preferred choice for driving power devices efficiently and effectively.
One of the most notable features of the MIC4467CN is its ability to drive MOSFETs and IGBTs with high peak currents. This attribute allows it to switch power devices swiftly and handle high current demands from various loads or circuits. The MIC4467CN can deliver peak output currents of up to 1.4A, making it suitable for driving power devices that require substantial current levels.
Another crucial feature of the MIC4467CN is its high-speed performance. This IC component is capable of providing fast switching times, which ensures rapid and efficient operation of the power devices it drives. It has a propagation delay of only 55ns, enabling it to respond quickly to control signals and deliver accurate switching actions.
The MIC4467CN is also designed with built-in protection features to ensure robust operation and safeguard against potential damage or failures. It incorporates under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection, which prevents the IC from operating when the input voltage falls below a certain threshold. This feature helps avoid unreliable operations and protects the power devices from operating outside the recommended voltage range
