General Description

The MIC5013 is an 8-pin MOSFET driver with over-current shutdown and a fault flag. It is designed to drive the gate of an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail high-side power switch applications. The MIC5013 is compatible with standard or current-sensing power MOSFETs in both high-and low-side driver topologies.

Features

• 7V to 32V operation

• Less than 1µA standby current in the “OFF” state

• Available in small outline SOIC packages

• Internal charge pump to drive the gate of an N-channel power FET above supply

• Internal zener clamp for gate protection

• 60µs typical turn-on time to 50 gate overdrive

• Programmable over-current sensing

• Dynamic current threshold for high in-rush loads

• Fault output pin indicates current faults

• Implements high- or low-side switches
