Description

The FAN3121 and FAN3122 MOSFET drivers are designed to drive

N−channel enhancement MOSFETs in low−side switching

applications by providing high peak current pulses. The drivers are

available with either TTL input thresholds (FAN312xT) or

VDD−proportional CMOS input thresholds (FAN312xC). Internal

circuitry provides an under−voltage lockout function by holding the

output low until the supply voltage is within the operating range.

FAN312x drivers incorporate the MillerDrive™ architecture for the

final output stage. This bipolar / MOSFET combination provides the

highest peak current during the Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET

turn−on / turn−off process.

The FAN3121 and FAN3122 drivers implement an enable function

on pin 3 (EN), previously unused in the industry−standard pin−out.

The pin is internally pulled up to VDD for active HIGH logic and can be

left open for standard operation.

The AEC−Q100 automotive−qualified versions are available in

8−lead SOIC packages with and without exposed pad.
