MCP14A0153-E/MS

Overview

The MCP14A0153-E/MS is a dual MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-MSOP package. It provides independent inverting outputs with a peak source and sink current of 1.5A each. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5V to 18V. Key electrical characteristics include a typical rise time of 11.5ns and a fall time of 10ns. Logic input thresholds are defined at 0.8V for VIL and 2V for VIH. The component supports an extended junction temperature range from -40°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent inverting output configuration for driving N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs
• High peak output current capability of 1.5A for both sourcing and sinking
• Low threshold logic inputs compatible with standard digital interfaces
• Integrated enable functionality to control driver operation

Applications

• High-frequency power conversion circuits
• Motor drive systems requiring fast switching
• Industrial power supply designs
• Automotive electronics applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E/MS' confirms the MSOP-8 package and industrial temperature grade. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the manufacturer's tube packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status aligns with project requirements. Check for any recent lifecycle notices or obsolescence warnings directly from Microchip Technology before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual inverting driver with 1.5A peak current is required. The MSOP-8 package suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the 4.5V minimum supply voltage for compatibility with system rails. Evaluate the 11.5ns rise time against switching loss requirements. Verify that the inverting logic polarity matches the control signal design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP14A015x family of high-speed dual MOSFET drivers. The family includes variants with non-inverting (MCP14A0154) and complementary (MCP14A0155) configurations. All members share similar electrical characteristics, including 1.5A output current and 4.5V-18V operating voltage. The MCP14A0153 specifically offers dual inverting outputs for push-pull or half-bridge topologies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include MCP14A0154-E/MS and MCP14A0155-E/MS. Note that these alternatives provide non-inverting and complementary outputs respectively, which may require logic inversion adjustments in the control circuit.
