Dual low-side driver for N-channel MOSFETs
Supply voltage spans 3.5V to 14V, covering both 5V and 12V gate drive rails common in industrial and automotive power stages.
The 3A source / 5A sink peak current rating is the headline spec for this driver. It determines how quickly the gate of a large N-channel MOSFET can be charged and discharged, directly impacting switching losses and dead-time requirements. With 14ns rise and 12ns fall times, the LM5110-1M/NOPB can drive moderate-to-large MOSFET gates at switching frequencies up to several hundred kilohertz without excessive cross-conduction or shoot-through. The asymmetric sink-to-source ratio (5A vs 3A) is typical for low-side drivers — faster turn-off reduces the Miller plateau duration and improves efficiency in hard-switching topologies.
The NOPB suffix indicates ROHS3 compliance (lead-free). For a BOM freeze or production ramp, the active lifecycle removes the last-time-buy risk that haunts NRND or EOL parts.
