It drives N-channel or P-channel MOSFET gates with a typical rise and fall time of 25ns, making it suitable for switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motor drive stages where fast gate charging is needed to minimise switching loss. ## Supply range and logic thresholds The device operates from a 4.5V to 18V supply rail, covering the common gate drive voltages for 5V, 12V, and 15V logic and power MOSFETs. The logic input thresholds are 0.8V (VIL) and 2.4V (VIH), so a 3.3V or 5V logic signal from a controller or PWM source will drive it directly without level shifting. ## Temperature grade and deployment scope It belongs in indoor, temperature-controlled equipment — benchtop supplies, office power adaptors, consumer electronics — not in an engine bay or a rooftop telecom enclosure where the ambient can swing below freezing or above 70°C. ## Package and mounting Housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154-inch body width, 3.90mm width), surface-mount. The standard SOIC-8 land pattern applies; the 0.50mm pitch is manageable on a two-layer board for low-to-moderate current traces, though a ground plane under the driver helps thermal management when driving high gate charge loads at frequency. ## Lifecycle and compliance flag For designs that must meet RoHS or similar regulations, a lead-free alternative should be selected; for exempt military, aerospace, or medical applications where leaded solder is still permitted, this part remains a valid choice.","metaTitle":"MAX4420CSA-T MOSFET Driver, 6A Peak, 25ns, 8-SOIC","metaDescription":"MAX4420CSA-T single low-side MOSFET driver, 6A peak source/sink, 25ns rise/fall, 4.5V-18V supply, 8-SOIC.

The supply range and logic thresholds are comparable. Pin-compatibility should be verified against the respective datasheets, but in most designs the MAX4420 is a drop-in alternative."},{"question":"Is MAX4420CSA-T RoHS compliant?","answer":"No, the MAX4420CSA-T is listed as RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-required builds, look for a lead-free variant or an alternative driver."},{"question":"Does MAX4420CSA-T require an external bootstrap diode?","answer":"No. The MAX4420CSA-T is a low-side driver only — it drives the gate of a low-side MOSFET referenced to ground. A bootstrap diode is only needed for high-side gate drive in a half-bridge or full-bridge configuration, which this part does not support."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX4420CSA-T","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX4420CSA-T when reusing this data.
