MCP14E4-E/P

Overview

The MCP14E4-E/P is a dual high-speed power MOSFET driver from Microchip Technology, housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. It provides non-inverting outputs with a peak output current of 4 A per channel. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V and supports CMOS and TTL logic inputs. It features rise and fall times of 30 ns and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing independent control for two power MOSFETs
• High-speed switching capability with 30 ns rise and fall times
• Robust drive strength delivering 4 A peak output current
• Wide supply voltage compatibility ranging from 4.5 V to 18 V

Applications

• Industrial motor control systems
• Power supply inverters
• Battery management systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' corresponds to the PDIP package variant when ordering. Confirm that the required operating temperature range covers -40°C to +125°C for your application environment. Ensure input logic levels are compatible with standard CMOS or TTL standards to guarantee proper signal interfacing and reliable operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated gate driving is required with moderate speed and high current capability. The PDIP package is suitable for through-hole mounting on prototyping boards or industrial enclosures. Consider alternative packages like DFN if space constraints exist, but verify pinout compatibility before substitution.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP14E3/4/5 series of dual high-speed power MOSFET drivers. It shares functional similarities with other members of the family, differing primarily in drive current specifications and packaging options. The series is designed for efficient switching of power devices in various electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MCP14E4T-E/SN and MCP14E4T-E/MF. Verify package type differences, as these alternatives may utilize surface-mount configurations instead of the through-hole PDIP format used by the MCP14E4-E/P.
