The MOSFET drivers have a low input threshold compatible with Microchip PIC MCUs and Digital Signal Controllers, even when operating at lower voltages. This enables customers to design applications with MCUs operating as low as 2V, using the MOSFET driver to boost the output signals to 18V, reducing power loss in the controller and minimising conduction loss in the power MOSFET.
The threshold levels balance the need for noise immunity with the ability to function with a wider variety of controller products, including Microchip's devices.
The drivers are designed for use in applications such as power supply, lighting, automotive and consumer electronics.
