MCP1416T-E/OT

Overview

The MCP1416T-E/OT is a low-side MOSFET driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in a compact 5-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package. It provides a non-inverting output with a peak source/sink current of 1.5A. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports CMOS and TTL logic inputs. Key electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 10.0ns with 470pF load and 20.0ns with 1000pF load. It features high immunity to ground bounce and negative input threshold latch-up, withstanding up to 5V negative input swing. The component offers 4kV ESD protection and low quiescent current of 850µA at logic '1' and 100µA at logic '0'.

Feature Summary

• Provides high peak output current capability for rapid MOSFET switching.
• Features robust immunity to ground bounce and negative input latch-up.
• Offers matched rise and fall times with low propagation delay.
• Includes dual-pulse immunity for slow-ramp input signals.

Applications

• Power management systems
• Motor drive and control circuits
• Automotive electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the datasheet, as the model number corresponds to Microchip Technology products. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm that the sourcing channel provides authentic components with traceable documentation to avoid counterfeit risks associated with this part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint low-side driver with 1.5A peak current is required. It is suitable for applications needing non-inverting logic compatibility with CMOS or TTL inputs. Consider its automotive qualification and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) for harsh environments. Evaluate the SOT-23-5 package constraints against available PCB space and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MCP1416 series of single-channel MOSFET drivers. It is designed for automotive and industrial applications requiring reliable gate driving in compact spaces. The series emphasizes speed and noise immunity, making it distinct from standard general-purpose drivers through its specialized latch-up protection and ground bounce tolerance features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes should be verified against the official Microchip replacement guide. Cross-reference pinouts, current ratings, and package dimensions before substitution.

FAQ

What is the maximum negative input voltage the MCP1416T-E/OT can withstand?

The input can withstand a negative swing of up to 5V without damage or functional failure.

Does the MCP1416T-E/OT provide inversion between input and output?

No, it is a non-inverting driver; a high input signal results in a high output signal.
