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
