MCP1407T-E/SN

Overview

The MCP1407T-E/SN is a single-channel, low-side MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides a peak output current of 6A for both sourcing and sinking operations. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports logic levels compatible with CMOS and TTL standards, defined by VIL of 0.8V and VIH of 2.4V. Typical rise and fall times are 20ns. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package (3.90mm width) and functions at temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-current drive capability suitable for fast-switching power MOSFETs
• Features non-inverting input configuration for direct control interface
• Designed for robust operation across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring efficient MOSFET switching
• Motor control systems utilizing low-side drive architectures
• Industrial automation equipment needing reliable gate driving

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN' confirms the 8-SOIC surface-mount package variant. Ensure the 'E' designation aligns with the required automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification if applicable to your design. Confirm that the tape-and-reel packaging matches your automated assembly requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with your system's electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, low-side driver with 6A peak current is required. It is appropriate for designs needing non-inverting logic control and operation up to 18V supply. Consider alternative packages or inversion types if through-hole mounting or signal inversion is necessary. Verify thermal management needs based on the SOIC package constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP1407 family of high-speed power MOSFET drivers. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MCP1406 but differs in channel count and specific package options. The family is designed for general-purpose power switching applications requiring fast transition times and high drive strength.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MCP1407T-E/SNVAO, which maintains identical electrical characteristics and pinout while adhering to specific automotive validation standards.
