Half-bridge driver with 2A peak gate drive — what it does
The MAX5064BATC+T is a half-bridge gate driver from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration. It delivers 2A peak source and 2A peak sink current, which gives you the muscle to charge and discharge large gate capacitances quickly — useful for keeping switching losses low in DC-DC converters, motor-drive inverters, and synchronous rectifier stages. The bootstrap supply is rated to 125 V, so it handles 48 V and 72 V bus rails with margin, and the independent inverting and non-inverting input channels let you wire the dead-time logic however your controller expects it.
The 125 V maximum high-side voltage (bootstrap) sets the absolute ceiling for the floating supply that powers the high-side driver. If your half-bridge DC bus sits at 48 V or even 72 V nominal, you have healthy headroom. The 8 V to 12.6 V supply range on the low side is typical for biasing the driver core and gate-drive rails; stay inside that window or the UVLO may not release cleanly.
