Dual 4A gate drive in an 8-TDFN
The MAX17602ATA+ from Maxim is a dual-channel MOSFET driver rated for 4 A peak output current per channel, housed in an 8-pin TDFN package. It is designed to drive the gates of both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous-rectifier or half-bridge topologies, where the 4 A drive capability ensures fast switching transitions and reduced switching losses in the power stage.
The part is ROHS3 compliant, meaning the solder balls and plating are lead-free; reflow profiles follow standard lead-free curves. The package outline is small enough that hand rework with hot air is feasible if the pad is pre-tinned and the board is preheated to reduce thermal shock.
It is fully ROHS3 compliant, with no exemptions that would restrict use in most commercial and industrial applications.
