MIC44F18/19/20
6A, 13V High Speed MOSFET Drivers
with Enable Input
General Description
Features
The MIC44F18, MIC44F19 and MIC44F20 are highspeed single MOSFET drivers capable of sinking and
sourcing 6A for driving capacitive loads. With delay
times of less than 15ns and rise times into a 1000pF
load of 10ns, these MOSFET drivers are ideal for driving
large gate charge MOSFETs in power supply
applications. The MIC44F18 is a non-inverting driver,
the MIC44F19 is an inverting driver suited for driving PChannel MOSFETs and the MIC44F20 is an inverting
driver for N-Channel MOSFETs.
Fabricated using Micrel’s proprietary BiCMOS/DMOS
process for low power consumption and high efficiency,
the MIC44F18/19/20 translates TTL or CMOS input logic
levels to output voltage levels that swing within 25mV of
the positive supply or ground. Comparable bipolar
devices are capable of swinging only to within 1V of the
supply.
The input supply voltage range of the MIC44F18/19/20
is 4.5V to 13.2V, making the devices suitable for driving
MOSFETs in a wide range of power applications. Other
features include an enable function, latch-up protection,
and a programmable UVLO function.
The MIC44F18/19/20 has a junction temperature range
of –40°C to +125°C with exposed pad ePAD MSOP-8
®
and 2mm x 2mm MLF -8 package options.

MIC44F18/19/20
Because the external resistors are parallel with the
internal resistors, it is important to keep the value of the
external resistors at least 10 times lower than the typical
values of the internal resistors. This prevents the
internal resistors from affecting the accuracy of the
enable calculation as well as preventing the large
tolerance of the internal resistors from affecting the
tolerance of the enable voltage setting.
Functional Description
The MIC44F18/19/20 family of drivers are high speed,
high current drivers that are designed to drive P-channel
and N-channel MOSFETs. The drivers come in both
inverting and non-inverting versions. The block diagram
of the MIC44Fxx driver is shown in Figure 1.
The MIC44F18 is a non-inverting driver.
When
disabled, the VOUT pin is pulled low. The MIC44F19 is
an inverting driver that is optimized to drive P-channel
MOSFETs. When disabled, the VOUT pin is pulled
high, which turns off the P-channel MOSFET. The
MIC44F20 is an inverting driver, whose VOUT pin is
pulled low when disabled. This allows it to drive an
N-channel MOSFETs and turn it off when the driver is
disabled. The logic table below summarizes the driver
operation.

Startup and UVLO
The UVLO circuit disables the output until the VDD
supply voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold. Hysteresis
in the UVLO circuit prevents noise and finite circuit
impedance from causing chatter during turn-on and turnoff.
Figure 2. UVLO Circuit
Input Stage
The MIC44Fxx family of drivers have a high impedance,
TTL compatible input stage. The tight tolerance of the
input threshold makes it compatible with CMOS devices
powered from any supply voltage between 3V and VDD.
Hysteresis on the input pin improves noise immunity and
prevents input signals with slow rise times from falsely
triggering the output. The amplitude of the input voltage
has no effect on the supply current draw of the driver.
As shown in figure 2, with the EN/UVLO pin open, an
internal resistor divider senses the VDD voltage and the
UVLO threshold is set at the minimum operating voltage
of the driver. The driver can be set to turn on at a higher
voltage by adding an external resistor to the UVLO pin.
The input voltage signal may go up to -5V below ground
without damaging the driver or causing a latch up
condition. Negative input voltages 0.7V below ground or
greater will cause an increase in propagation delay.
With an external divider, the VDD turn on (rising VDD)
threshold is calculated as:
⎡ R1⎤
VDDenable = VTH × ⎢1 +
⎥
⎣ R2 ⎦
⎡ R1⎤
VDDhysteresis = VHyst × ⎢1 +
⎥
⎣ R2 ⎦
where : VTH = Enable Threshold Voltage
VDDHysteresis = HysteresisVoltage at the VDD pin
VHyst = Enable HysteresisVoltage

Output Driver Section
A block diagram of the low-side driver is shown in Figure
3. Low driver impedances allow the external MOSFET to
be turned on and off quickly. The rail-to-rail drive
capability of the output ensures a low RDSON from the
external MOSFET.
Redundant Vout pins lower the driver circuit impedance,
which helps increase the drive current and minimize LC
circuit ringing between the MOSFET gate and driver
output.
The slew rate of the output is non-adjustable and
depends only on the VDD voltage and how much
capacitance is present at the VOUT pin. The slew rate
at the MOSFET gate can be adjusted by adding a
resistor between the MOSFET gate and the driver
output.

The energy dissipated by the resistive components of the
gate drive circuit during turn-on is calculated as:
Application Information
Power Dissipation Considerations
Power dissipation in the driver can be separated into two
areas:
•
Output driver stage dissipation
E = 21 × Ciss × VGS 2
but
Q = C× V
•
Quiescent current dissipation used to supply the
internal logic and control functions.
so
E = 1/2 × Qg × VGS
Output Driver Stage Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the output driver stage is mainly
caused by charging and discharging the gate to source
and gate to drain capacitance of the external MOSFET.
Figure 4 shows a simplified equivalent circuit of the
MIC44F18 driving an external MOSFET.
where
Ciss is the total gate capacitanc e of the MOSFET
Figure 5. GATE Charge
Figure 4. Output Driver Stage Power Dissipation
Dissipation during the External MOSFET Turn-On
Energy from capacitor CVDD is used to charge up the input
capacitance of the MOSFET (CGD and CGS). The energy
delivered to the MOSFET is dissipated in the three
resistive components, RON, RG and RG_FET. RON is the on
resistance of the upper driver MOSFET in the MIC44F18.
RG is the series resistor (if any) between the driver IC and
the MOSFET. RG_FET is the gate resistance of the
MOSFET. RG_FET is usually listed in the power MOSFET’s
specifications. The ESR of capacitor CB and the resistance
of the connecting etch can be ignored since they are much
less than RON and RG_FET.
The effective capacitance of CGD and CGS is difficult to
calculate since they vary non-linearly with ID, VGS, and VDS.
Fortunately, most power MOSFET specifications include a
typical graph of total gate charge vs. VGS. Figure 5 shows
a typical gate charge curve for an arbitrary power
MOSFET. This illustrates that for a gate voltage of 10V,
the MOSFET requires about 23.5nC of charge.
February 2011

The same energy is dissipated by ROFF, RG and RG_FET
when the driver IC turns the MOSFET off. Assuming Ron
is approximately equal to ROFF, the total energy and power
dissipated by the resistive drive elements is:
E DRIVER = QG × VGS
and
PDRIVER = QG × VGS × f S
Where
EDRIVER is the energy dissipated per switching
power
PDRIVER is the power dissipated by switching the
MOSFET on and off
QG is the total GATE charge at VGS
VGS is the GATE to SOURCE voltage on the
MOSFET
fS is the switching frequency of the GATE drive
circuit
M9999-020111
Micrel, Inc.
MIC44F18/19/20
The power dissipated inside the MIC4100/4101 is equal to
the ratio of RON & ROFF to the external resistive losses in
RG and RG_FET. Letting RON = ROFF, the power dissipated in
the MIC44F18 due to driving the external MOSFET is:
Pdiss drive = PDRIVER
RON
RON + RG + RG _ FET
Figure 6A shows the power dissipation in the driver for
different values of gate charge with VDD=5V. Figure 6B
shows the power dissipation at VDD=12V. Figure 6C
show the maximum power dissipation for a given
ambient temperature for the MLF and ePad packages.
The maximum operating frequency of the driver may
be limited by the maximum power dissipation of the
driver package.
Supply Current Power Dissipation
Power is dissipated in the MIC44F18 even if is there is
nothing being driven. The supply current is drawn by the
bias for the internal circuitry, the level shifting circuitry and
shoot-through current in the output drivers. The supply
current is proportional to operating frequency and the VDD
voltage. The typical characteristic graphs show how supply
current varies with switching frequency and supply voltage.
The power dissipated by the MIC44F18 due to supply
current is:
Pdiss SUPPLY = VDD × I DD
Total Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations
Total power dissipation in the Driver equals the power
dissipation caused by driving the external MOSFETs plus
the supply current:
Figure 6A. Driver Power Dissipation
PdissTOTAL = Pdiss SUPPLY + Pdiss DRIVE
The die temperature may be calculated once the total
power dissipation is known:
TJ = T A + PdissTOTAL × θ JA
Where
TA is the Maximum ambient temperature
TJ is the junction temperature (°C)
PdissTOTAL is the power dissipation of the Driver
θJC is the thermal resistance from junction-toambient air (°C/W)
Figure 6B. Driver Power Dissipation
The following graphs help determine the maximum
gate charge that can be driven with respect to
switching frequency, supply voltage and ambient
temperature.

Placement of the decoupling capacitors is critical. The
bypass capacitor for VDD should be placed as close as
possible between the VDD and VSS pins. The etch
connections must be short, wide and direct. The use of a
ground plane to minimize connection impedance is
recommended. Refer to the section on layout and
component placement for more information.
Grounding, Component Placement and Circuit Layout
Nanosecond switching speeds and ampere peak currents
in and around the MOSFET driver requires proper
placement and trace routing of all components. Improper
placement may cause degraded noise immunity, false
switching and excessive ringing.
Figure 6C. Maximum Driver Power Dissipation
Propagation Delay and Delay Matching and Other
Timing Considerations
Fast propagation delay between the input and output drive
waveform is desirable. It improves overcurrent protection
by decreasing the response time between the control
signal and the MOSFET gate drive. Minimizing
propagation delay also minimizes phase shift errors in
power supplies with wide bandwidth control loops.
Care must be taken to insure the input signal pulse width
is greater than the minimum specified pulse width. An
input signal that is less than the minimum pulse width may
result in no output pulse or an output pulse whose width is
significantly less than the input.
Decoupling and Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
Decoupling capacitors are required for proper operation by
supplying the charge necessary to drive the external
MOSFETs as well as minimizing the voltage ripple on the
supply pins.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their
low impedance and small size. Z5U type ceramic capacitor
dielectrics are not recommended due to the large change
in capacitance over temperature and voltage. A minimum
value of 0.1µf is required for each of the capacitors,
regardless of the MOSFETs being driven. Larger
MOSFETs may require larger capacitance values for
proper operation. The voltage rating of the capacitors
depends upon the supply voltage, ambient temperature
and the voltage derating used for reliability.

Figure 7 shows the critical current paths when the driver
outputs go high and turn on the external MOSFETs. It also
helps demonstrate the need for a low impedance ground
plane. Charge needed to turn-on the MOSFET gates
comes from the decoupling capacitors CVDD. Current in the
gate driver flows from CVDD through the internal driver, into
the MOSFET gate and out the source. The return
connection back to the decoupling capacitor is made
through the ground plane. Any inductance or resistance in
the ground return path causes a voltage spike or ringing to
appear on the source of the MOSFET. This voltage works
against the gate drive voltage and can either slow down or
turn off the MOSFET during the period when it should be
turned on.

Figure 8 shows the critical current paths when the driver
outputs go low and turn off the external MOSFETs. Short,
low impedance connections are important during turn-off
for the same reasons given in the turn-on explanation.
Current from the VDD supply replenishes charge in the
decoupling capacitor, CVdd.

The following circuit guidelines should be adhered to for
optimum circuit performance:
1. The VCC bypass capacitor must be placed close to the
VDD and ground pins. It is critical that the etch length
between the decoupling capacitor and the VDD &
GND pins be minimized to reduce pin inductance.
2. A ground plane is recommended to minimize parasitic
inductance and impedance of the return paths. The
MIC44F18 family of drivers is capable of high peak
currents and very fast transition times.
Any
impedance between the driver, the decoupling
capacitors and the external MOSFET will degrade the
performance of the circuit.
3. Trace out the high di/dt and dv/dt paths, as shown in
Figures 7 and 8 and minimize etch length and loop
area for these connections. Minimizing these
parameters decreases the parasitic inductance and
the radiated EMI generated by fast rise and fall times.
