MCP14E8-E/MF

Overview

The MCP14E8-E/MF is a dual high-speed power MOSFET driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V and delivers an output current of 2 A. The device features a rise time of 12 ns and a fall time of 15 ns, with an operating supply current of 1800 uA. It is housed in a DFN-8 package and supports surface mount installation. The component functions as a low-side driver with both inverting and non-inverting configurations. It is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards and operates reliably between -40°C and +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing independent control for two power MOSFETs
• High-speed switching capability with nanosecond-level rise and fall times
• Automotive qualification ensuring reliability in demanding environments
• Flexible logic input support through combined inverting and non-inverting outputs

Applications

• Automotive power management systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance
• Industrial motor control circuits utilizing low-side switching
• DC-DC converter topologies needing fast gate drive signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MF' corresponds to the DFN-8 package configuration during sourcing. Confirm that the automotive grade designation aligns with project requirements. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB footprint for the DFN-8 form factor. Check for moisture sensitivity level specifications if reflow soldering processes are utilized in assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated gate drives are required in a compact surface-mount package. The 2 A peak current is suitable for medium-power MOSFETs. Consider the DFN-8 thermal performance against larger packages like SOIC or PDIP if higher heat dissipation is needed. Verify that the 4.5 V minimum supply voltage meets the system's lowest operating condition.
