MIC44F18/19/20
6A, 13V High Speed MOSFET Drivers
with Enable Input
General Description
The MIC44F18, MIC44F19 and MIC44F20 are high-
speed single MOSFET drivers capable of sinking and
sourcing 6A for driving capacitive loads. With delay
times of less than 15ns and rise times into a 1000pF
load of 10ns, these MOSFET drivers are ideal for driving
large gate charge MOSFETs in power supply
applications. The MIC44F18 is a non-inverting driver,
the MIC44F19 is an inverting driver suited for driving P-
Channel MOSFETs and the MIC44F20 is an inverting
driver for N-Channel MOSFETs.
Fabricated using Micrel’s proprietary BiCMOS/DMOS
process for low power consumption and high efficiency,
the MIC44F18/19/20 translates TTL or CMOS input logic
levels to output voltage levels that swing within 25mV of
the positive supply or ground. Comparable bipolar
devices are capable of swinging only to within 1V of the
supply.
The input supply voltage range of the MIC44F18/19/20
is 4.5V to 13.2V, making the devices suitable for driving
MOSFETs in a wide range of power applications. Other
features include an enable function, latch-up protection,
and a programmable UVLO function.
The MIC44F18/19/20 has a junction temperature range
of –40°C to +125°C with exposed pad ePAD MSOP-8
®
and 2mm x 2mm MLF -8 package options.

Input (Input): Logic high produces a high output voltage for the MIC44F18 and a low output
voltage for the MIC44F19/20. Logic low produces a low output voltage for the MIC44F18 and
a high output voltage for the MIC44F19/20.
EN / Under-Voltage Lockout (Input): Pulling this pin below low disables the driver. When
disabled, the output is in the off state (low for the MIC44F18/20 and high for the MIC44F19).
Floating this pin enables the driver and the UVLO circuitry when V
DD
reaches the UVLO
threshold. A resistor divider can set a different UVLO threshold voltage as shown on page 1
(See “Application Information” section for more details).

3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5k in series with 100pF.
4. Specification for packaged product only.
5. The device is protected from damage when -5V< Vin< 0V. However, 0V is the recommended minimum continuous V
IL
voltage.
