MIC5011YM

Overview

The MIC5011YM is a single-channel high-side or low-side MOSFET gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 32V and features a non-inverting logic interface. The device delivers a maximum output current of 950mA with a turn-on time of 25µs. It incorporates an internal charge pump to drive N-channel power FETs above the supply rail and includes internal Zener clamping for gate protection. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Internal charge pump enables driving of N-channel power FETs above the supply voltage
• Integrated Zener clamping provides gate protection against overvoltage conditions
• Non-inverting input configuration simplifies control logic interfacing

Applications

• High-side and low-side MOSFET switching applications
• H-bridge motor drive circuits
• Power management systems requiring isolated gate control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'YM' corresponds to the 8-pin SOIC plastic package when sourcing. Confirm that the unit is lead-free and RoHS compliant as per standard Microchip specifications for this series. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the Microchip Technology manufacturer origin.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel driver capable of handling up to 32V supply voltages is required. The internal charge pump makes it suitable for N-channel high-side applications without external bootstrap components. Consider the 950mA peak current capability for driving moderate-capacitance loads efficiently.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC5011 family of gate drivers, which are designed for robust switching performance. The YM variant specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC-8 packaging option, distinguishing it from through-hole DIP versions like the MIC5011YN. It serves as a dedicated interface between logic controllers and power MOSFETs.
