MCP14E7T-E/SN

Overview

The MCP14E7T-E/SN is a dual low-side MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features two non-inverting outputs with independent enable controls, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and supplied in tape-and-reel packaging. The device provides a peak output current of 2A per channel, suitable for driving power MOSFETs efficiently. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, ensuring compatibility with various logic levels and power systems.

Feature Summary

• Dual non-inverting output configuration with individual enable pins for precise control
• High-speed switching capability with 2A peak source and sink current per channel
• Integrated protection against shoot-through currents through built-in dead-time management

Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits requiring isolated or non-isolated gate drive
• Motor control systems utilizing low-side MOSFET switching
• Power supply designs needing efficient high-frequency operation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SN' indicates the SOIC-8 package and 'T' denotes tape-and-reel packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status as detailed in the official datasheet. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the reel size specifications provided by the manufacturer to avoid packaging discrepancies during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual low-side drive with independent enable functionality is required. Consider the 2A output current capability relative to the target MOSFET gate charge requirements. Evaluate the operating temperature range and supply voltage limits against the system's environmental and electrical conditions to ensure reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP14E7 series of gate drivers from Microchip Technology. It is designed for applications requiring robust and fast switching of power MOSFETs. The series offers variations in packaging and quantity, with the 'T' suffix specifically indicating reel packaging for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family, such as the MCP14E7-E/SN (tray packaging). Verify that any substitute maintains the 2A current rating and dual non-inverting enable features. Ensure the replacement part meets the same voltage and temperature specifications.
