MIC4478/4479/4480
32V Low-Side Dual MOSFET Drivers
General Description
Features
The MIC4478, MIC4479, and MIC4480 are low-side dual
MOSFET drivers are designed to switch N-channel
enhancement type MOSFETs from TTL-compatible control
signals for low-side switch applications. The MIC4478 is
dual non-inverting, the MIC4479 is dual inverting, and the
MIC4480 is complimentary non-inverting and inverting.
These drivers feature short delays and high peak currents
to produce precise edges and rapid rise and fall times.
• +4.5V to +32V operation
• 300µA typical supply quiescent current
• 2.5A nominal peak output per channel
− 6Ω high-side typical output resistance
− 3Ω low-side typical output resistance
• Active-high driver enable inputs with internal pull-ups
• Operates with low-side switch circuits
• –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range
• ESD protection
• Dual inverting, dual non-inverting, and inverting + noninverting versions
• 8-pin SOIC (ePAD and non-ePAD)
The MIC4478/4479/4480 are powered from a +4.5V to
+32V supply voltage. The on-state gate drive output
voltage is approximately equal to the supply voltage (no
internal regulators or clamps).
In a low-side configuration, the drivers can control a
MOSFET that switches any voltage up to the rating of the
MOSFET. The MIC4478/4479/4480 are available in the 8lead SOIC (ePAD and non-ePAD) package and are rated
for the –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range.

MIC4478/4479/4480
Functional Description
The MIC4478 is a dual non-inverting driver. A logic-high
on the INA, INB (input) pins produce gate drive outputs.
The MIC4479 is a dual-inverting driver. A logic-low on the
INA, INB (input) pins produce gate drive outputs. The
MIC4480 is a complimentary inverting and non-inverting
driver, a logic-low and high on the INA, INB (input) pins
produce gate drive outputs. The OUTA, OUTB (output)
pins are used to turn on external N-channel MOSFETs.
Enable
Each output has an independent enable pin that forces the
output low when the enable pin is driven low. Each enable
pin is internally pulled-up to VS. The outputs are enabled
by default if the enable pin is left open. Pulling the enable
pin low, below its threshold voltage, forces the output low.
A fast propagation delay between the enable and output
pins quickly disables the output, which is a requirement
during a system fault condition.
Supply
Voltage supply (VS) is rated for +4.5V to +32V. External
ceramic capacitors are recommended to decouple noise.
See Supply Bypass in the Application Information section.
Output
The OUTA, OUTB outputs are designed to drive
capacitive loads. VOUTA, OUTB output voltages will either be
the supply voltage or ground voltage, depending on the
logic state applied to INA/INB.
Input
INA, INB (inputs) are TTL-compatible inputs. INA, INB
must be forced high or low by an external signal. A floating
input will cause unpredictable operation.
December 9, 2014
If INA, INB are logic-high, and VS drops to zero, the
output will be floating and unpredictable.

MIC4478/4479/4480
Application Information
The MIC4478/4479/4480 driver family is designed to
provide high peak current for charging and discharging
capacitive loads.
Supply Bypass
Capacitors from VS to GND are recommended to control
switching and supply transients. Load current and supply
lead length are some of the factors that affect capacitor
size requirements.
A 4.7μF or 10μF ceramic capacitor is suitable for many
applications. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR)
metalized film capacitors may also be suitable. An
additional 0.1μF ceramic capacitor is suggested in
parallel with the larger capacitor to control high-frequency
transients.
Figure 4. Using Standard N-Channel MOSFETs
Logic-Level MOSFETs
Logic-level N-channel power MOSFETs are fully
enhanced with a gate-to-source voltage of approximately
5V and have an absolute maximum gate-to-source
voltage of ±10V. They are less common and generally
more expensive. The MIC4478/4479/4480 can drive
logic-level MOSFETs if the supply voltage, including
transients, does not exceed the maximum MOSFET gateto-source rating (10V).
Circuit Layout
Avoid long power supply and ground traces. They exhibit
inductance that can cause voltage transients (inductive
kick). Even with resistive loads, inductive transients can
sometimes exceed the ratings of the MOSFET and the
driver.
When a load is switched off, supply lead inductance
forces the current to continue flowing, resulting in a
positive voltage spike. Inductance in the ground (return)
lead to the supply has similar effects, except that the
voltage spike is negative. Switching transitions
momentarily draw current from VS to GND. This
combines with supply lead inductance to create voltage
transients at turn-on and turn-off.
Transients can also result in slower apparent rise or fall
times when driver’s ground shifts with respect to the
control input. Minimize the length of supply and ground
traces or use ground and power planes when possible.
Bypass capacitors should be placed as close as practical
to the driver.
Figure 5. Using Logic-Level N-Channel MOSFETs
At low voltages, the MIC4478/4479/4480’s internal P- and
N-channel MOSFET’s on-resistance will increase and
slow the output rise time. Refer to the Typical
Characteristics graphs.
MOSFET Selection
Standard MOSFETs
A standard N-channel power MOSFET is fully enhanced
with a gate-to-source voltage of approximately 10V and
has an absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage of
±20V. The MIC4478/4479/4480’s on-state outputs are
approximately equal to the supply voltage. The lowest
usable voltage depends upon the behavior of the
MOSFETs.

where:
PD(dynamic) = dynamic power dissipation (W)
VS = supply voltage (V)
CG = gate capacitance of external MOSFET (µF)
f = switching frequency (Hz)
Do not allow PD(static) + PD(dynamic) to exceed PD(max), below.
where:
Figure 6. Switching an Inductive Load
PD(max) = maximum power dissipation (dynamic + static
power) (W)
Switching off an inductive load in a low-side application
forces the MOSFET drain higher than the supply voltage
(as the inductor resists changes to current). To prevent
exceeding the MOSFET’s drain-to-gate and drain-tosource ratings, a Schottky diode should be connected
across the inductive load.
150 = absolute maximum junction temperature (°C)
TA = ambient temperature (°C) [68°F = 20°C]
ΘJA = Junction thermal resistance:
63°C/W for SOIC package
40°C/W for SOIC with ePAD package
Power Dissipation
The maximum power dissipation must not be exceeded
to prevent die meltdown or deterioration.
High-Frequency Operation
Although the MIC4478/4479/4480 drivers will operate at
frequencies greater than 1MHz, the MOSFET’s
capacitance and the load will affect the output waveform
(at the MOSFET’s drain).
Power dissipation in on/off switch applications is
negligible.
Fast repetitive switching applications, such as switchmode power supplies (SMPS), cause a significant
increase in power dissipation with frequency. Power is
dissipated each time current passes through the internal
output MOSFETs when charging or discharging the
external MOSFET. Power is also dissipated during each
transition when some current momentarily passes from
VS to GND through both internal MOSFETs.
Total power dissipation is the product of supply voltage
and supply current plus the product of the gate
capacitance of the external MOSFET, supply voltage
squared, and the switching frequency:
1) Static Power Dissipation → PD(static) = VS × IS
Figure 7. MOSFET Capacitance Effects at High Switching
Frequency
where:
PD(static) = static power dissipation (W)
When the MOSFET is driven off, slower rising occurs
because the MOSFET’s output capacitance recharges
through the load resistance (RC circuit). A lower load
resistance allows the output to rise faster. For the fastest
driver operation, choose the smallest power MOSFET
that will safely handle the desired voltage, current, and
safety margin. The smallest MOSFETs generally have
the lowest capacitance.
VS = supply voltage (V)
IS = supply current (A)
Supply current is a function of supply voltage, switching
frequency, and load capacitance. Determine this value
from the “Typical Characteristics: Supply Current vs.
Frequency” graph or measure it in the actual application.
TJ (junction temperature) is the sum of TA (ambient
temperature) and the temperature rise across the thermal
resistance of the package. In another form:
