MIC5010
Full-Featured High- or Low-Side MOSFET Driver
Not Recommended for New Designs
General Description
The MIC5010 is the full-featured member of the Micrel
MIC501X driver family. These ICs are designed to drive the
gate of an N-channel power MOSFET above the supply rail
in high-side power switch applications. The MIC5010 is
compatible with standard or current-sensing power FETs in
both high- and low-side driver topologies.
The MIC5010 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical and
protects the MOSFET from over-current conditions. Faster
switching is achieved by adding two 1nF charge pump
capacitors. The current sense trip point is fully program-
mable and a dynamic threshold allows high in-rush current
loads to be started. A fault pin indicates when the MIC5010
has turned off the FET due to excessive current.
Other members of the Micrel driver family include the
MIC5011 minimum parts count 8 pin driver, MIC5012 dual
driver, and MIC5013 protected 8 pin driver.
Features
• 7V to 32V operation
• Less than 1µA standby current in the “OFF” state
• Internal charge pump to drive the gate of an N-channel
power FET above supply
• Available in small outline SOIC packages
• Internal zener clamp for gate protection
• 25µs 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

Pin Function
Inhibits current sense function when connected to supply. Normally
grounded.
Resets current sense latch and turns on power MOSFET when taken above
threshold (3.5V typical). Pin 3 requires <1µA to switch.
Sets current sense trip voltage according to:
V
TRIP
=
2200
R
TH
+1000
where R
TH
to ground is 3.3k to 20kΩ. Adding capacitor C
TH
increases the
trip voltage at turn-on to 2V. Use C
TH
=10µF for a 10mS turn-on time
constant.

Sense
The sense pin causes the current sense to trip when V
SENSE
is V

above

SOURCE
. Pin 5 is used in conjunction with a current shunt in the source of
a 3 lead FET or a resistor R
S
in the sense lead of a current sensing FET.
Reference for the current sense voltage on pin 5 and return for the gate
clamp zener. Connect to the load side of current shunt or kelvin lead of
current sensing FET. Pins 5 and 6 can safely swing to –10V when turning
off inductive loads.

Fault
Drives and clamps the gate of the power FET. Pin 8 will be clamped to
approximately –0.7V by an internal diode when turning off inductive loads.
Optional 1nF capacitors reduce gate turn-on time; C2 has dominant effect.
Supply pin; must be decoupled to isolate from large transients caused by
the power FET drain. 10µF is recommended close to pins 13 and 7.
Outputs status of protection circuit when pin 3 is high. Fault low indicates
normal operation; fault high indicates current sense tripped.

range. Typicals are characterized at 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Test conditions reflect worst case high-side driver performance. Low-side and bootstrapped topologies are significantly faster—see
