MCP1407-E/MF

Overview

The MCP1407-E/MF is a single-output MOSFET gate driver from Microchip Technology, featuring a 6.0A peak drive current capability. It operates within a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and utilizes an 8-pin DFN (6x5) surface-mount package. The device provides non-inverting logic input with low shoot-through current and matched rise/fall times. Typical propagation delay is 40 ns, with rise and fall times of 20 ns for capacitive loads up to 2500 pF. Supply current is typically 130 µA with a logic high input and 35 µA with a logic low input.

Feature Summary

• High peak output current capability of 6.0A for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs
• Low shoot-through and cross-conduction current in the output stage
• Latch-up protection capable of withstanding 1.5A reverse current
• Logic input withstands negative swing up to 5V

Applications

• Switch mode power supplies
• Pulse transformer drive
• Line drivers
• Motor and solenoid drive

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MF' corresponds to the 8-pin 6x5 DFN package configuration when ordering. Confirm the temperature grade 'E' meets the required operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Ensure the non-inverting topology aligns with the system design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation before final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a single-channel, low-side gate driver with high peak current. It serves as a pin-compatible replacement for TC4420/TC4429 devices. Consider the 8-pin DFN package for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 4.5V to 18V supply voltage range suits the target logic and gate drive levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP1406/07 family of buffers and MOSFET drivers. These devices are improved versions of the TC4420/TC4429 series, offering enhanced performance characteristics such as lower supply current and better latch-up protection. The family includes variants with different packages and temperature grades to suit various industrial and commercial applications.

Replacement Considerations

The MCP1407-E/MF is pin-compatible with the TC4420 and TC4429 devices. Designers replacing legacy components should verify that the new drive current and voltage specifications meet the load requirements. Ensure the non-inverting logic function matches the original circuit design.
