MCP1416T-E/MC

Overview

The MCP1416T-E/MC is a low-side MOSFET gate driver from Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-DFN (2x3) package with an exposed pad. It provides a non-inverting output capable of sourcing and sinking 1.5A peak current. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports junction temperatures from -40°C to +150°C. Key electrical characteristics include low supply current (100µA at logic '0', 850µA at logic '1') and high capacitive load drive capability (1000pF in 20ns typical). It features 4kV ESD protection and immunity to ground bounce.

Feature Summary

• Non-inverting low-side topology for direct interface with control logic
• High peak output current capability of 1.5A for fast switching
• Robust latch-up immunity against ground bounce and negative input thresholds
• Low shoot-through current in the output stage to minimize power loss

Applications

• Power management systems requiring efficient MOSFET switching
• Motor drive and control circuits for small DC motors
• Automotive electronic applications demanding high reliability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MC' corresponds to the 8-DFN package variant rather than the standard SOT-23 version. Confirm the exposed pad thermal requirements during PCB layout design. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact temperature grade and packaging format specified by the manufacturer to avoid compatibility issues with existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact footprint is required alongside high current driving capabilities. The 8-DFN package offers improved thermal performance compared to smaller packages. Consider the non-inverting nature if signal phase alignment with the input is critical. Evaluate the 18V maximum supply voltage limit against the system's operating conditions to ensure safe operation margins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP1415/16 family of low-side drivers. While the MCP1415 offers inverting functionality, the MCP1416 provides non-inverting behavior. Both share similar electrical specifications but differ in logical output state relative to the input. The 'MC' suffix distinguishes the physical package type from other variants like 'OT' which uses SOT-23.

Replacement Considerations

• MCP1416T-E/OT
• MCP1416RT-E/OT
