MIC5011
Minimum Parts High- or Low-Side MOSFET Driver
General Description
The MIC5011 is the “minimum parts count” 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 8-pin
MIC5011 is extremely easy to use, requiring only a power
FET and nominal supply decoupling to implement either a
high- or low-side switch.
The MIC5011 charges a 1nF load in 60µs typical with no
external components. Faster switching is achieved by add-
ing two 1nF charge pump capacitors. Operation down to
4.75V allows the MIC5011 to drive standard MOSFETs in
5V low-side applications by boosting the gate voltage above
the logic supply. In addition, multiple paralleled MOSFETs
can be driven by a single MIC5011 for ultra-high current
applications.
Other members of the Micrel driver family include the
MIC5013 protected 8-pin driver.
For new designs, Micrel recommends the pin-compatible
MIC5014 MOSFET driver.
Features
• 4.75V 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
• Minimum external parts count
• Can be used to boost drive to low-side power FETs
operating on logic supplies
• 25µs typical turn-on time with optional external
capacitors
• Implements high- or low-side drivers

Drives and clamps the gate of the power FET. Will be clamped to approxi-
mately –0.7V by an internal diode when turning off inductive loads.
Optional 1nF capacitors reduce gate turn-on time; C2 has dominant effect.
Pin Function
Supply; must be decoupled to isolate from large transients caused by the
power FET drain. 10µF is recommended close to pins 1 and 4.
Turns on power MOSFET when taken above threshold (3.5V typical). Re-
quires <1 µA to switch.
Connects to source lead of power FET and is the return for the gate clamp
zener. Can safely swing to –10V when turning off inductive loads.
