General Description
●The MIC5013 is an 8-pin MOSFET driver with over-current shutdown and a fault flag. It is designed to drive the gate of an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail high-side power switch applications. The MIC5013 is compatible with standard or current-sensing power MOSFETs in both high-and low-side driver topologies.
●Features
●• 7V to 32V operation
●• Less than 1µA standby current in the “OFF” state
●• Available in small outline SOIC packages
●• Internal charge pump to drive the gate of an N-channel power FET above supply
●• Internal zener clamp for gate protection
●• 60µs typical turn-on time to 50% gate overdrive
●• Programmable over-current sensing
●• Dynamic current threshold for high in-rush loads
●• Fault output pin indicates current faults
●• Implements high- or low-side switches
