Expanded MOSFET driver family offers low-side devices with peak output currents from 2-A to 4.5-A
The expanded, low-cost family of devices is rated for peak output currents from 2 A to 4.5 A, over a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V. The devices feature enable input pins that provide shutdown capability to conserve power, and are offered in 8-pin SOIC and 8-pin, 6 mm x 5 mm DFN packages. They are ideal for consumer electronic applications that use power supplies, such as servers, personal computers and notebooks.
The new MCP14E6/7/8 dual devices are rated for a peak output current of 2 A, while the new MCP14E9/10/11 dual devices are rated for a peak output current of 3 A. The drivers’ wide operating voltage of 4.5 V to 18 V allows for a broad range of input voltages. Additionally, the drivers’ small packages lower costs by reducing board space.
Availability and Pricing
The MCP14E3/4/5, MCP14E6/7/8 and MCP14E9/10/11 MOSFET drivers are available in an 8-pin SOIC package, for $1.24 each in 10,000-unit quantities. The devices are also available in an 8-pin 6 mm x 5 mm DFN package, for $1.36 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
