MIC5015BM-TR

Overview

The MIC5015BM-TR is a low-cost high-side or low-side MOSFET driver IC manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features an inverting input type and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package with a width of 3.90mm (0.154 inches). Designed for surface mount installation, this gate driver integrates the necessary circuitry to efficiently control power MOSFETs in various switching applications.

Feature Summary

• Supports both high-side and low-side MOSFET driving configurations
• Features an inverting input logic interface
• Capable of operation across an extended industrial temperature range up to 150°C TJ

Applications

• General purpose MOSFET gate driving
• Power management circuits requiring high/low side control
• Industrial motor control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '-TR' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 'BM' variant aligns with the intended thermal and electrical specifications for the target application environment. Ensure compatibility with the 8-SOIC footprint on the PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel inverting driver is needed for either high-side or low-side topology. Consider the 150°C junction temperature rating for high-thermal-stress environments. Evaluate the 8-SOIC package constraints against available board space and ensure the inverting logic matches the upstream control signal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC5015 series of MOSFET drivers, originally developed by Micrel Semiconductor before its acquisition by Microchip Technology. The series provides cost-effective solutions for driving power switches. The MIC5015BM-TR represents the specific commercial grade version with tape-and-reel packaging, maintaining the core functionality of the broader family while optimizing for manufacturing efficiency.
