MIC4403
1.5A-Peak High-Speed Floating-Load Driver
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC4403 is a modified version of the MIC4425 power
MOSFET driver, intended to drive floating or isolated loads
requiring high-current pulses. The load is intended to be
connected between the outputs without other reference to
supply or ground. Only when both logic inputs are high and
the V
DD
supply is energized, is power supplied to the load.
This construction allows the implementation of a wide variety
of redundant input controllers.
The low off-state output leakage and independence of the two
half-circuits permit a wide variety of testing schemes to be
utilized to assure functionality. The high peak current capa-
bility, short internal delays, and fast output rise and fall times
ensure sufficient power will be available to the load when it is
needed. The TTL and CMOS compatible inputs allow opera-
tion from a wide variety of input devices. The ability to swing
the inputs negative without affecting device performance
allows negative biases to be placed on the inputs for greater
safety. In addition, the capacitive nature of the inputs allows
the use of series resistors on the inputs for extra noise
suppression.
Input voltage excursions above the supply voltage or below
ground are clamped internally without damaging the device.
The output stages are power CMOS and DMOS FETs with
high speed body diodes to prevent damage to the driver from
inductive kickbacks.

Note 1:
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specification is not implied.
Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating Conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Static-sensitive device. Unused devices must
be stored in conductive material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields.
