What the MAX4429ESA+ is and where it fits
The MAX4429ESA+ is a single-channel, low-side gate driver for N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs. It delivers a peak output current of 6A for both source and sink, with typical rise and fall times of 25ns.
6A peak drive and 25ns edges — what they mean for your switching stage
The 6A peak source and sink capability charges and discharges the MOSFET gate capacitance quickly. The 25ns rise and fall times are symmetric, simplifying timing calculations.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The MAX4429ESA+ is listed as Active by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices), with ROHS3 compliance. For BOM planning, there is no single-source risk from obsolescence today.
