SOT-23-6 low-side driver with asymmetric drive
The LM5114BMF/S7003094 is a single-channel low-side gate driver in a SOT-23-6 package, designed to drive IGBTs and N-Channel MOSFETs. Its 1.3A source and 7.6A sink peak output current means the gate is pulled down much harder than it is pulled up — a deliberate asymmetry that speeds up the turn-off transition without overshooting the gate drive supply. The 82ns rise and 12.5ns fall times reflect this: the fall time is roughly one-sixth of the rise, so the device clears the Miller plateau fast during turn-off, reducing switching loss in the power transistor. The supply range spans 4V to 12.6V, covering the typical gate-drive rails for logic-level and standard MOSFETs as well as IGBTs. The inverting and non-inverting input options let the designer choose the polarity without adding an inverter gate.
Active production, RoHS3 compliant
It is available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) packaging — the reel option suits volume pick-and-place; the cut tape works for prototype or low-volume builds.
