MAX17600–MAX17605

4A Sink /Source Current, 12ns, Dual MOSFET Drivers

1

General Description

The MAX17600–MAX17605 devices are high-speed

MOSFET drivers capable of sinking /sourcing 4A peak

currents. The devices have various inverting and non-

inverting part options that provide greater flexibility in

controlling the MOSFET. The devices have internal logic

circuitry that prevents shoot-through during output-state

changes. The logic inputs are protected against voltage

delay time is minimized and matched between the dual

channels. The devices have very fast switching time,

combined with short propagation delays (12ns typ),

making them ideal for high-frequency circuits. The

devices operate from a +4V to +14V single power

supply and typically consume 1mA of supply cur-

rent. The MAX17600/MAX17601 have standard TTL

input logic levels, while the MAX17603 /MAX17604/

MAX17605 have CMOS-like high-noise margin (HNM)

input logic levels. The MAX17600/MAX17603 are dual

inverting input drivers, the MAX17601/MAX17604 are

dual noninverting input drivers, and the MAX17602 /

MAX17605 devices have one noninverting and one

inverting input. These devices are provided with enable

pins (ENA, ENB) for better control of driver operation.

These devices are available in 8-pin (3mm x 3mm) TDFN,

operate over the -40NC to +125NC temperature range.
