Dual 1.5 A low-side driver for N-channel MOSFETs
The Texas Instruments UC3707N is a dual-channel low-side gate driver designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs. Each channel delivers 1.5 A peak source and 1.5 A peak sink current, with typical rise and fall times of 40 ns — fast enough to switch power MOSFETs in the 100-500 kHz range without excessive cross-conduction loss. Supply voltage range spans 5 V to 40 V, covering common logic rails (5 V, 12 V, 24 V) and intermediate bus voltages.
Through-hole PDIP-16 for prototyping and low-volume production
The supplier device package is 16-PDIP, supplied in tubes. For designs that see extended or industrial temperature, a different grade or a thermal analysis of the junction temperature under load is warranted.
