MC34152PG

Gate Driver Overview

The MC34152PG is a dual non-inverting high-speed MOSFET driver manufactured by onsemi. It features two independent channels with 1.5 A totem pole outputs, designed to drive large capacitive loads with high slew rates. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 6.1 V to 18 V and supports through-hole installation in an 8-pin PDIP package. It exhibits rise and fall times of 15 ns with a 1000 pF load. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to 85°C.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Features two independent channels with 1.5 A totem pole outputs for driving power MOSFETs
• Includes CMOS/LSTTL compatible inputs with hysteresis for fast output switching
• Integrates undervoltage lockout with hysteresis to prevent erratic operation at low supply voltages

Gate Driver Applications

• Switching power supplies
• DC-to-DC converters
• Capacitor charge pump voltage doublers/inverters
• Motor controllers

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PG' confirms the PDIP package and through-hole mounting style required for your design. Confirm that the standard commercial grade (-40°C to 85°C) meets your thermal requirements, as automotive variants may carry different prefixes. Ensure input logic levels are compatible with the specified CMOS/LSTTL interface before finalizing procurement.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed switching of power MOSFETs is required with low input current consumption. The 1.5 A peak output current is suitable for driving significant gate capacitance. Consider the PDIP package if prototyping or through-hole assembly is necessary. Verify that the 18 V maximum supply voltage aligns with your system's power rail constraints.

Gate Driver Part Context

This part belongs to the MC34152/MC33152 family of dual high-speed MOSFET drivers. It serves as a bridge between low-current digital control signals and high-power MOSFET gates. The device is distinct from single-channel drivers and offers integrated protection against low-voltage instability through its built-in undervoltage lockout mechanism.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

Check for NCV-prefix versions if automotive site and change control requirements apply. Other members of the MC34152 family may offer surface-mount packages like SOIC-8, but pin compatibility must be verified.
