2A peak drive in a SOT-23-5 — the trade-off that matters
The inverting input (logic-low turns the output on) simplifies interface with controllers that have active-low enable or PWM signals. With 14ns typical rise and fall times, it can switch a moderate gate-charge MOSFET fast enough for 200–500 kHz DC-DC converters and point-of-load regulators without excessive cross-conduction.
Supply range and temperature — where this driver fits
The 4V to 14V supply range covers the common 5V and 12V intermediate rails used in industrial and automotive systems. The logic input thresholds (VIL at 1V, VIH at 4V) are compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic families, though the 4V VIH means a 3.3V controller's high output may need a level-shift or pull-up to guarantee a valid logic-high across the full supply range.
Package and footprint — SOT-23-5 reality check
The TPS2828DBVR comes in an SC-74A / SOT-23-5 package (supplier device package SOT-23-5). The small footprint saves board area, but the thermal dissipation is limited — the 2A peak current is a transient rating, not continuous. For sustained switching at high frequency, the PCB copper area and via stitching under the device matter.
