LT1336CN#PBF

Overview

The LT1336CN#PBF is a half-bridge N-channel power MOSFET driver featuring an internal boost regulator. It provides high-side drive for floating N-channel MOSFETs with a maximum bootstrap voltage of 60 V. The device operates over a junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C and utilizes a 16-pin PDIP package. Typical switching performance includes a rise time of 130 ns and a fall time of 60 ns, supporting efficient gate control in power conversion applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an internal boost regulator to simplify high-side driving requirements
• Designed specifically for driving N-channel power MOSFETs in half-bridge configurations
• Supports non-inverting logic input signals for straightforward interface integration

Applications

• Half-bridge power converter topologies
• High-side N-channel MOSFET gate driving
• DC-DC converter circuits requiring isolated or floating supply generation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #PBF indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the 16-PDIP package type matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of 0°C to 125°C aligns with your thermal design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective solution for driving N-channel high-side switches is required without external bootstrap components. The integrated boost regulator reduces bill of materials complexity. Consider the 60 V maximum high-side voltage limit and typical propagation delays when designing for higher frequency or voltage applications compared to other available drivers.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1336 series of half-bridge gate drivers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Linear Technology). It is designed as a robust solution for medium-power applications where driving N-channel devices on the high side is necessary. The series emphasizes ease of use through internal charge pump functionality.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the half-bridge N-channel configuration and 16-PDIP package. Verify equivalent electrical characteristics such as maximum high-side voltage and output current capability. Cross-reference with other Analog Devices half-bridge drivers if pin compatibility or specific timing parameters differ.
