Peak current and switching speed — what they mean for the BOM
The 3A source / 4.5A sink peak current rating determines which MOSFET gate charge this driver can switch within the target dead time. The non-inverting input keeps logic simple: one PWM signal drives both gates with internal dead-time generation. Supply range of 4 V to 6.85 V means the driver bias rail is separate from the power stage.
Temperature grade and deployment environment
Rated for -40°C to 125°C junction temperature, this driver fits industrial motor drives, outdoor telecom rectifiers, and under-hood automotive auxiliary converters. The 8-SOIC package keeps board area small but watch thermal dissipation if driving high-frequency, high-gate-charge MOSFETs near the upper temperature limit.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
It can be committed to new designs without obsolescence risk.
