It accepts a single input and delivers a buffered or inverted output to drive the gate capacitance, making it suitable for applications such as switch-mode power supplies, motor drives, and class-D audio amplifiers where a clean gate-drive waveform is needed.
This removes the supply-risk flag for production builds, though the RoHS non-compliant status means it cannot be used in lead-free soldering processes without an exemption — factor that into your assembly line qualification.
Bulk packaging — handling and kitting note
For manual or low-volume builds, bulk is straightforward — just watch for ESD-safe handling during kitting.
