MCP14E7-E/P

Overview

The MCP14E7-E/P is a dual high-speed power MOSFET driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features two non-inverting outputs with independent enable controls, housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. It provides a peak output current of 2A and exhibits an input delay of 45ns.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture with independent enable functionality for each output
• Non-inverting logic configuration suitable for low-side switching applications
• High-speed performance designed for efficient power MOSFET gate control

Applications

• Low-side power switching circuits
• Industrial motor control systems
• Power supply gate drive stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix '-E/P' to ensure correct packaging and environmental compliance. Confirm that the required supply voltage range between 4.5V and 18V aligns with the system design. Ensure the PDIP-8 through-hole package fits the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel driver with individual enable pins is required for low-side MOSFET applications. The 2A peak current capability suits moderate-power switching tasks. Consider the PDIP-8 package if through-hole assembly is mandated. Verify that the 45ns input delay meets the timing requirements of the specific control signals used in the application.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MCP14E6/E7/E8 series of 2A dual high-speed power MOSFET drivers. These components are designed as buffer/driver solutions offering separate enable functions for each output channel. The series provides a robust interface for controlling power switches in various electronic systems requiring reliable gate drive signals.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for other members of the MCP14E6/E7/E8 family to confirm pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substituting.
