MAX17601AUA+T

Overview

The MAX17601AUA+T is a dual MOSFET driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a 4A sink and source current capability with a propagation delay of 12ns. The device operates within an extended junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. It utilizes an 8-TSSOP or 8-MSOP package with an exposed pad, designed for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed switching performance with a 12ns propagation delay for efficient gate control.
• Delivers robust 4A peak drive current in both sink and source directions to support power stage requirements.
• Engineered for high-temperature reliability with an operational junction temperature range extending up to 150°C.

Applications

• High-frequency synchronous buck converter topologies
• Half-bridge and full-bridge power stage driving
• Isolated gate drive circuits requiring fast transition times

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm that the '+T' designation aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards required by your assembly process. Ensure the 8-TSSOP/8-MSOP footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when application requirements demand high peak drive current combined with minimal signal propagation delay. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for automotive or industrial environments where thermal stress exceeds standard commercial limits. Evaluate the exposed pad thermal management needs associated with the TSSOP/MSOP package style.
