The MIC4423BWMTR is a high-speed, low-side MOSFET driver IC component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is specifically designed to drive high power MOSFETs in applications that require high speed switching, such as motor control, power supplies, inverters, and solenoid drivers. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. High Speed: The MIC4423BWMTR is capable of high-speed switching due to its low propagation delay and rise/fall times. With a propagation delay of less than 35ns, it offers quick response times, making it suitable for high frequency applications.
2. Wide Input Voltage Range: This driver IC can operate from a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, allowing flexibility in various power supply designs and enabling it to work with a diverse range of MOSFETs.
3. Logic-Level Input Control: The MIC4423BWMTR accepts a logic-level input control signal (from a microcontroller or other logic devices), making it easy to interface with digital control circuits. It requires a low input current to switch between high and low states, and also provides a Schmitt-trigger input, ensuring reliable switching even with noisy input signals.
4. High Output Current: With its low-side driver configuration, this IC can source and sink high peak output currents up to 9.5A, enabling it to handle high-power MOSFETs and support heavy load drives
