Maxim Integrated MOSFET Gate Driver 6A Peak Current 8-Pin SOIC 18V MAX4420CSA+

Maxim Integrated MAX4420CSA+ is a single-output MOSFET gate driver designed to efficiently translate TTL/CMOS logic inputs to high-voltage, high-current outputs. It supports a peak output current of 6A with a supply voltage of 18V in a compact 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package measuring 5mm in length, 4mm in width, and 1.5mm in height. The device features a low 1.5 Ohm output impedance enabling rapid switching of power MOSFETs, which helps reduce switching losses and improves overall system efficiency.

With fast 60ns rise and fall times while driving typical loads, the MAX4420CSA+ minimizes power dissipation during transitions. The driver’s logic inputs draw very low current, less than 10uA, ensuring compatibility with most CMOS and bipolar switch-mode controllers. It operates over an industrial temperature range from 0°C to 70°C and does not conform to automotive standards.

This gate driver’s output swings close to the power supply rail and ground within 25mV, making it suitable for precision switching applications. Its low quiescent current consumption adds to power-saving during idle states.

The MAX4420CSA+ is an ideal choice for applications such as switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, motor controllers, and pin-diode drivers in industrial, commercial, and laboratory environments.

Designed for efficient MOSFET switching with low output impedance and high peak current. Fast switching times of 60ns rise and fall ensure minimal power loss. TTL/CMOS compatible inputs with very low input current draw. Operates from 4.5V up to 18V supply range.
