MIC4478/4479/4480
32V Low-Side Dual MOSFET Drivers
General Description
The MIC4478, MIC4479, and MIC4480 are low-side dual
MOSFET drivers are designed to switch N-channel
enhancement type MOSFETs from TTL-compatible control
signals for low-side switch applications. The MIC4478 is
dual non-inverting, the MIC4479 is dual inverting, and the
MIC4480 is complimentary non-inverting and inverting.
These drivers feature short delays and high peak currents
to produce precise edges and rapid rise and fall times.
The MIC4478/4479/4480 are powered from a +4.5V to
+32V supply voltage. The on-state gate drive output
voltage is approximately equal to the supply voltage (no
internal regulators or clamps).
In a low-side configuration, the drivers can control a
MOSFET that switches any voltage up to the rating of the
MOSFET. The MIC4478/4479/4480 are available in the 8-
lead SOIC (ePAD and non-ePAD) package and are rated
for the –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on

Pin Description
Enable pin channel A. TTL-compatible enabling/disabling of the
device. An internal pull-up enables the device if this pin is
floating or unconnected. A logic-low voltage disables the device
and the output (OUTA) will be pulled to ground regardless of the
input state.
Input channel A. TTL-compatible on/off control input.
MIC4478 only: A logic-high forces the output (OUTA) to the
supply voltage. A logic-low forces OUTA to ground.
MIC4479 only: A logic-low forces the output (/OUTA) to the
supply voltage. A logic-high forces /OUTA to ground.
MIC4480 only: Complimentary logic-low/high (INA/INB) forces
the output (/OUTA) to the supply voltage. Complimentary logic-
high/high (INA/INB) forces /OUTA to ground.
Ground. Power return.
Input channel B. TTL-compatible on/off control input.
MIC4478 only: A logic-high forces the output (OUTB) to the
supply voltage. A logic-low forces OUTB to ground.
MIC4479 only: A logic-low forces the output (/OUTB) to the
supply voltage. A logic-high forces /OUTB to ground.
MIC4480 only: Complimentary logic-low/high (INA/INB) forces
the output (OUTB) to the supply voltage. Complimentary logic-
high/high (INA/INB) forces OUTB to ground.
Channel B Output (Non-Inverting). Gate drive connection to the
external MOSFET.
Channel B Output (Inverting). Gate drive connection to the
external MOSFET.
Supply Input. +4.5V to +32V supply.
Channel A Output (Non-Inverting). Gate drive connection to the
external MOSFET.
Channel A Output (Inverting). Gate drive connection to the
external MOSFET.
Enable pin channel B. TTL-compatible enabling/disabling of the
device. An internal pull-up enables the device if this pin is
floating or unconnected. A logic-low voltage disables the device
and the output (OUTB) will be pulled to ground regardless of the
input state.
Ground. Exposed pad of the YME package option. Connect this
pad to GND for best thermal performance.
