MCP14E9-E/P

Overview

The MCP14E9-E/P is a dual high-speed power MOSFET driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features two inverting outputs capable of sourcing and sinking up to 3A of peak current. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports through-hole mounting in an 8-pin PDIP package. Typical propagation delays are characterized at 14ns rise time and 17ns fall time, ensuring rapid switching performance for power applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent output channels for simultaneous control of multiple MOSFETs
• High peak drive current capability of 3A for fast switching transitions
• Inverting logic configuration with dedicated enable functionality

Applications

• Industrial motor control systems requiring precise gate driving
• Power supply topologies utilizing synchronous rectification
• Automotive electronics demanding robust switching performance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' confirms the 8-pin PDIP through-hole package variant. Confirm the operating temperature range extends to 150°C junction temperature. Ensure compatibility with the required 4.5V to 18V supply rails before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation or synchronized driving of two MOSFETs is required. The 3A drive strength suits medium-power applications where faster switching speeds reduce conduction losses. Consider the PDIP package for prototyping or applications prioritizing manual assembly over surface mount technology.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP14E series of dual MOSFET drivers from Microchip. It complements other variants like the MCP14A0901 which offers higher current ratings but in different packages. The series focuses on providing reliable gate drive solutions for industrial and automotive environments with standardized pinouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MCP14E9-E/SN for surface mount requirements. Verify electrical equivalence regarding the 3A drive current and 18V maximum supply voltage before swapping packages.
