3 Description

The LM5112 device MOSFET gate driver provides

high peak gate drive current in the tiny 6-pin WSON

package (SOT-23 equivalent footprint) or an 8-pin

exposed-pad MSOP package with improved power

dissipation required for high frequency operation. The

compound output driver stage includes MOS and

bipolar transistors operating in parallel that together

sink more than 7 A peak from capacitive loads.

Combining the unique characteristics of MOS and

bipolar devices reduces drive current variation with

voltage and temperature. Undervoltage lockout

protection is provided to prevent damage to the

MOSFET due to insufficient gate turnon voltage. The

LM5112 device provides both inverting and noninverting

inputs to satisfy requirements for inverting

and non-inverting gate drive with a single device type.
