MAX15024

The MAX15024/MAX15025 single/dual, high-speed MOSFET gate drivers are capable of operating at frequencies up to 1MHz with large capacitive loads. The MAX15024 includes internal source-and-sink output transistors with independent outputs allowing for control of the external MOSFET's rise and fall time. The MAX15024 is a single gate driver capable of sinking an 8A peak current and sourcing a 4A peak current. The MAX15025 is a dual gate driver capable of sinking a 4A peak current and sourcing a 2A peak current. An integrated adjustable LDO voltage regulator provides gate-drive amplitude control and optimization.

The MAX15024A and MAX15025A/C accept transistor-to-transistor (TTL) input logic levels while the MAX15024B and MAX15025B/D accept CMOS-input logic levels. High sourcing/sinking peak currents, a low propagation delay, and thermally enhanced packages make the MAX15024/MAX15025 ideal for high-frequency and high-power circuits. The MAX15024/MAX15025 operate from a 4.5V to 28V supply. A separate output driver supply input enhances flexibility and permits a soft-start of the power MOSFETs used in synchronous rectifiers.

The MAX15024/MAX15025 are available in 10-pin TDFN packages and are specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
