MAX620CWN

Gate Driver Overview

The MAX620CWN is a quad high-side MOSFET driver IC from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates four non-inverting drivers and a charge-pump high-side power supply for controlling high-side switching. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (TA). Typical rise and fall times are 1.7µs and 2.5µs, respectively. It is housed in an 18-SOIC surface-mount package with a width of 7.50mm.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent high-side MOSFET drivers
• Includes internal charge-pump circuitry for high-side power supply
• Features non-inverting input logic

Gate Driver Applications

• High-side switching control
• MOSFET gate driving applications
• Driver interface integrated circuits

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status of the MAX620CWN before procurement, as it may be obsolete. Confirm that the specific suffix (e.g., +T) matches the required packaging format. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating temperature range and voltage levels. Cross-reference with official Analog Devices documentation to validate pinout and electrical specifications against potential substitutes.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad configuration for high-side MOSFET control is required. Consider the 18-SOIC package constraints and the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. Evaluate the need for the integrated charge pump versus external solutions. Verify that the non-inverting logic aligns with the system's control signals.

Gate Driver Part Context

The MAX620 series includes variants such as MAX620CPN+, MAX620EWN+, and their tape-and-reel equivalents. These parts share the core functionality of quad high-side drivers but differ in temperature grades and packaging options. The MAX620CWN represents the commercial grade version in the standard SOIC package.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include MAX620CWN+ and MAX620CWN+T. Check for availability of these active versions if the base model is discontinued.
