2A peak output, 14ns edges — what that means for your power stage
The TPS2819DBVT is a single-channel, low-side gate driver from Texas Instruments designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs. Its 2A peak source and sink current combined with 14ns typical rise and fall times means it can charge and discharge a MOSFET gate capacitance quickly, reducing switching losses in applications like DC-DC converters, motor drives, and solenoid drivers. The non-inverting input simplifies control logic — a high on the input turns the MOSFET on directly. The 4V to 14V supply range covers the common 5V and 12V rails used in industrial and automotive power stages, and the -40°C to 125°C operating temperature qualifies it for under-hood and factory-floor environments without needing a separate high-temp variant. The SOT-23-5 package keeps board area small, suitable for compact power modules or point-of-load regulators.
Active, ROHS3 — no LTB risk for new designs
The TPS2819DBVT is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance.
Single-channel low-side — not for half-bridge or P-channel drive
This driver is configured for low-side N-channel MOSFETs only. It cannot drive a P-channel MOSFET directly — the output is referenced to ground, not to a floating bootstrap supply. For half-bridge or synchronous-buck topologies requiring a high-side driver, consider a part like the LM5106MM/NOPB, which integrates a bootstrap diode and provides two channels with 1.2A peak drive in a half-bridge configuration. The TPS2819DBVT is the right choice when you need a single, fast, low-side driver in a small footprint.
Package and footprint — SOT-23-5
The TPS2819DBVT is supplied in a SOT-23-5 package. It is a surface-mount device with five pins. The Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) options cover both prototype and production volumes.
