MCP14A0901-E/SN

Overview

The MCP14A0901-E/SN is a high-speed MOSFET gate driver from Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. It provides a peak output current of 9.0 A and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 18 V. The device features an inverting configuration with two outputs and includes an enable pin for low threshold control. Typical rise and fall times are 27 ns, supporting efficient switching in power applications across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Delivers high peak output current capability for rapid MOSFET switching
• Features an inverting logic configuration with dedicated enable pin
• Operates within a wide single-supply voltage range for flexible integration

Applications

• High-side or low-side MOSFET gate driving
• DC-DC converter power stages
• Motor control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint specifications for the SOIC-8 variant. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical parameters before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current gate driver with an enable feature is required. The inverting topology suits applications where signal inversion is necessary. Confirm that the 9 A peak current meets the load requirements and that the 4.5 V to 18 V supply range aligns with the system design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP14A09xx series of high-speed MOSFET drivers. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MCP14A0902 but differs in specific pinout or configuration details. The series is designed for general-purpose power switching applications requiring reliable performance and compact packaging.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the MCP14A0901-E/MS if a smaller MSOP package is preferred. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before swapping components.
