MIC4126/27/28 Dual 1.5A-Peak Low-Side MOSFET Drivers in Advanced Packaging General Description Features The MIC4126, MIC4127, and MIC4128 family are highlyreliable dual 1.5A low-side MOSFET drivers fabricated on Micrel’s BiCMOS/DMOS process. The devices feature low power consumption and high efficiency. The MIC4126/27/28 translate TTL or CMOS input logic levels to output voltage levels that swing within 25mV of the positive supply or ground whereas comparable bipolar devices are capable of swinging only to within 1V of the supply. The MIC4126/7/8 is available in three configurations: dual inverting, dual non-inverting, and complimentary output. The MIC4126/27/28 offer pin-compatible as well as smaller footprint replacements for the MIC4426/27/28 with improved packaging and electrical performance. The MIC4126/27/28 are available in exposed pad, EPAD, SOIC-8L and MSOP-8L options as well as a small-size 3mm x 3mm MLF™-8L option. The devices have an input operating range of 4.5V to 20V. Primarily intended for driving power MOSFETs, MIC4426/7/8 drivers are suitable for driving other loads (capacitive, resistive, or inductive) which require lowimpedance, high peak current, and fast switching time. The devices can withstand up to 500mA of reverse current (either polarity) without latching and up to 5V noise spikes (either polarity) on ground pins.

Application Information Supply Bypassing Large currents are required to charge and discharge large capacitive loads quickly. For example, changing a 1000pF load by 16V in 25ns requires 0.8A from the supply input. To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, parallel capacitors are recommended for power supply bypassing. Low-inductance ceramic MLC capacitors with short lead lengths (< 0.5") should be used. A 1.0µF film capacitor in parallel with one or two 0.1µF ceramic MLC capacitors normally provides adequate bypassing. Load Dissipation Power dissipation caused by continuous load current (when driving a resistive load) through the driver’s output resistance is: PL = IL2 RO For capacitive loads, the dissipation in the driver is: PL = f CL VS2 Grounding When using the inverting drivers in the MIC4126 or MIC4128, individual ground returns for the input and output circuits or a ground plane are recommended for optimum switching speed. The voltage drop that occurs between the driver’s ground and the input signal ground, during normal high-current switching, will behave as negative feedback and degrade switching speed. The E-pad and MLF packages have an exposed pad under the package. It’s important for good thermal performance that this pad is connected to a ground plane. Transition Dissipation In applications switching at a high frequency, transition power dissipation can be significant. This occurs during switching transitions when the P-channel and N-channel output FETs are both conducting for the brief moment when one is turning on and the other is turning off. PT = 2 f VS Q Charge (Q) is read from the following graph: Control Input Unused driver inputs must be connected to logic high (which can be VS) or ground. For the lowest quiescent current (< 500µA), connect unused inputs-to-ground. A logic-high signal will cause the driver to draw up to 9mA. The control input voltage threshold is approximately 1.5V. The control input recognizes 1.5V up to VS as a logic high and draws less than 1µA within this range. Power Dissipation Power dissipation should be calculated to make sure that the driver is not operated beyond its thermal ratings. Quiescent power dissipation is negligible.
