MAX15012CASA+T

Overview

The MAX15012CASA+T is a high-speed half-bridge MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features dual non-inverting drivers with a peak output current of 2 A and supports bootstrap voltages up to 175 V. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 8 V to 12.6 V, consuming 140 uA in quiescent mode. It exhibits fast switching characteristics with rise and fall times of 7 ns, and maximum on/off delays of 30 ns. Designed for surface-mount applications, it is housed in an 8-SOIC-Narrow package with exposed pad and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer engagement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time availability as supply conditions may vary. Ensure the specific suffix matches design requirements for packaging type. Request official datasheets and test reports to validate electrical parameters against application specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-voltage isolation and rapid switching speeds are critical for system efficiency. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to power dissipation limits in the SOIC-N package. Consider the 175 V bootstrap limit relative to the target bus voltage. Ensure input logic levels align with the non-inverting configuration and verify that the 8 V minimum supply voltage meets system standby constraints.
