MIC4468ZN

Overview

The MIC4468ZN is a quad low-side MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent non-inverting channels with peak output currents of 1.2A for both sourcing and sinking. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and supports logic input levels of 0.8V (VIL) and 2.4V (VIH). Typical rise and fall times are 14ns and 13ns, respectively. It is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent low-side drive channels for N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs
• Delivers high peak output current capability of 1.2A for fast switching transitions
• Features non-inverting logic inputs compatible with standard CMOS and TTL levels

Applications

• Power factor correction circuits
• DC-DC converter topologies
• Motor control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pinout configuration against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the selected component meets the required thermal dissipation standards for the intended application environment. Ensure compatibility with the system's logic voltage levels and supply voltage constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad low-side driver with moderate current capability is required. Consider the PDIP package for through-hole assembly needs. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure it aligns with the environmental conditions of the final product design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC4467/4468/4469 series of power logic CMOS quad drivers. It shares functional similarities with other members of the family but differs in pinout and inversion characteristics. The MIC4468ZN specifically offers non-inverting outputs in a 14-pin DIP format.
