MCP1415T-E/OT

Overview

The MCP1415T-E/OT is a single-channel MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, packaged in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount configuration. It operates with an inverting logic configuration and supports power supply voltages ranging from 4.5 V to 18 V. The device delivers a peak output current of 1.5 A, with typical rise and fall times of 18 ns and 21 ns, respectively. It functions within an extended temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and complies with the AEC-Q100 automotive qualification standard.

Feature Summary

• Provides high peak output source and sink currents for efficient switching
• Features low quiescent supply current to minimize power consumption
• Includes robust protection against ground bounce and latch-up
• Offers immunity to slow input signal slopes via double-pulse filtering

Applications

• Power management systems
• Motor drive and control circuits
• Automotive electronic applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component bears the Microchip Technology manufacturer identification, as the specified model number corresponds to this brand. Confirm the package type is SOT-23-5 and check for AEC-Q100 automotive qualification markings if required for the application. Ensure the inverting configuration matches the circuit design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-side, inverting MOSFET driver is required in a small footprint. It is suitable for applications needing 1.5 A peak drive capability with CMOS or TTL logic compatibility. Consider the 4.5 V to 18 V operating voltage range and the -40 °C to +125 °C temperature rating to ensure compatibility with the system environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP1415/MCP1416 series of tiny MOSFET drivers. The MCP1415 variant specifically provides an inverting output, whereas the MCP1416 offers a non-inverting configuration. Both share similar electrical characteristics and packaging, differing primarily in their logic polarity relative to the input signal.

Replacement Considerations

The MCP1416T-E/OT serves as a functional substitute if a non-inverting configuration is acceptable. Other compatible parts include MCP1415T-E/MC and MCP1415T-E/OTVAO, which maintain the same electrical specifications and package form factor.
