MAX17601ASA+T

Overview

The MAX17601ASA+T is a low-side gate driver IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a non-inverting logic interface and is housed in an 8-SOIC package. The device operates at a fixed switching frequency of 2.25 MHz, which facilitates the use of smaller passive components due to higher ripple frequency characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Non-inverting logic interface for direct control signal compatibility
• Fixed 2.25 MHz switching frequency enabling compact passive component selection

Applications

• Low-side MOSFET driving in power conversion circuits
• Applications requiring fixed-frequency switching operations
• Systems utilizing high-ripple frequency designs for size reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '+T' indicates reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 'ASA' designation corresponds to the standard SOIC-8 package variant. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this part number as active or available, as supply status may vary by region and distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications necessitating a dedicated low-side driver with a fixed 2.25 MHz operating point. The non-inverting input simplifies control logic integration. Consider the thermal performance within the SOIC-8 package for the intended current load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated gate driver family, specifically designed for low-side switching applications. It complements other drivers in the portfolio by offering a fixed-frequency operation mode, distinguishing it from variable-frequency or high-side variants.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the available documentation. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against potential alternatives before substitution.
