MIC4451 and MIC4452 CMOS MOSFET drivers are tough,
efficient, and easy to use. The MIC4451 is an inverting
driver, while the MIC4452 is a non-inverting driver.
Both versions are capable of 12A (peak) output and can
drive the largest MOSFETs with an improved safe operating
margin. The MIC4451/4452 accepts any logic input from
2.4V to VS without external speed-up capacitors or resistor
networks. Proprietary circuits allow the input to swing negative by as much as 5V without damaging the part. Additional
circuits protect against damage from electrostatic discharge.
MIC4451/4452 drivers can replace three or more discrete
components, reducing PCB area requirements, simplifying
product design, and reducing assembly cost.
Modern Bipolar/CMOS/DMOS construction guarantees freedom from latch-up. The rail-to-rail swing capability of CMOS/
DMOS insures adequate gate voltage to the MOSFET during power up/down sequencing. Since these devices are
fabricated on a self-aligned process, they have very low
crossover current, run cool, use little power, and are easy to
drive.

Applications Information
Supply Bypassing
Charging and discharging large capacitive loads quickly
requires large currents. For example, changing a 10,000pF
load to 18V in 50ns requires 3.6A.
The MIC4451/4452 has double bonding on the supply pins,
the ground pins and output pins. This reduces parasitic lead
inductance. Low inductance enables large currents to be
switched rapidly. It also reduces internal ringing that can
cause voltage breakdown when the driver is operated at or
near the maximum rated voltage.
Internal ringing can also cause output oscillation due to
feedback. This feedback is added to the input signal since it
is referenced to the same ground.

DRIVER USING MIC4451/4452
To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency
range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for
supply bypassing. Low inductance ceramic disk capacitors
with short lead lengths (< 0.5 inch) should be used. A 1µF low
ESR film capacitor in parallel with two 0.1µF low ESR ceramic
capacitors, (such as AVX RAM GUARD®), provides adequate bypassing. Connect one ceramic capacitor directly
between pins 1 and 4. Connect the second ceramic capacitor
directly between pins 8 and 5.
Grounding
The high current capability of the MIC4451/4452 demands
careful PC board layout for best performance. Since the
MIC4451 is an inverting driver, any ground lead impedance
will appear as negative feedback which can degrade switching speed. Feedback is especially noticeable with slow-rise
time inputs. The MIC4451 input structure includes 200mV of
hysteresis to ensure clean transitions and freedom from
oscillation, but attention to layout is still recommended.
Figure 5 shows the feedback effect in detail. As the MIC4451
input begins to go positive, the output goes negative and
several amperes of current flow in the ground lead. As little as
0.05Ω of PC trace resistance can produce hundreds of
millivolts at the MIC4451 ground pins. If the driving logic is
referenced to power ground, the effective logic input level is
reduced and oscillation may result.
To insure optimum performance, separate ground traces
should be provided for the logic and power connections.
Connecting the logic ground directly to the MIC4451 GND
pins will ensure full logic drive to the input and ensure fast
output switching. Both of the MIC4451 GND pins should,
however, still be connected to power ground.

Input Stage
The input voltage level of the MIC4451 changes the quiescent supply current. The N channel MOSFET input stage
transistor drives a 320µA current source load. With a logic “1”
input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 400µA. Logic
“0” input level signals reduce quiescent current to 80µA
typical.
The MIC4451/4452 input is designed to provide 200mV of
hysteresis. This provides clean transitions, reduces noise
sensitivity, and minimizes output stage current spiking when
changing states. Input voltage threshold level is approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL compatible over the full
temperature and operating supply voltage ranges. Input
current is less than ±10µA.
The MIC4451 can be directly driven by the TL494, SG1526/
1527, SG1524, TSC170, MIC38C42, and similar switch
mode power supply integrated circuits. By offloading the
power-driving duties to the MIC4451/4452, the power supply
controller can operate at lower dissipation. This can improve
performance and reliability.
The input can be greater than the VS supply, however, current
will flow into the input lead. The input currents can be as high
as 30mA p-p (6.4mA
) with the input. No damage will
RMS
occur to MIC4451/4452 however, and it will not latch.
The input appears as a 7pF capacitance and does not change
even if the input is driven from an AC source. While the device
will operate and no damage will occur up to 25V below the
negative rail, input current will increase up to 1mA/V due to
the clamping action of the input, ESD diode, and 1kΩ resistor.
dissipation limit can easily be exceeded. Therefore, some
attention should be given to power dissipation when driving
low impedance loads and/or operating at high frequency.
The supply current vs. frequency and supply current vs
capacitive load characteristic curves aid in determining power
dissipation calculations. Table 1 lists the maximum safe
operating frequency for several power supply voltages when
driving a 10,000pF load. More accurate power dissipation
figures can be obtained by summing the three dissipation
sources.
Given the power dissipation in the device, and the thermal
resistance of the package, junction operating temperature for
any ambient is easy to calculate. For example, the thermal
resistance of the 8-pin plastic DIP package, from the data
sheet, is 130°C/W. In a 25°C ambient, then, using a maximum
junction temperature of 125°C, this package will dissipate
960mW.
Accurate power dissipation numbers can be obtained by
summing the three sources of power dissipation in the device:
• Load Power Dissipation (PL)
• Quiescent power dissipation (PQ)
• Transition power dissipation (PT)
Calculation of load power dissipation differs depending on
whether the load is capacitive, resistive or inductive.
Resistive Load Power Dissipation
Dissipation caused by a resistive load can be calculated as:
PL = I2 RO D
5
Power Dissipation
CMOS circuits usually permit the user to ignore power
dissipation. Logic families such as 4000 and 74C have
outputs which can only supply a few milliamperes of current,
and even shorting outputs to ground will not force enough
current to destroy the device. The MIC4451/4452 on the other
hand, can source or sink several amperes and drive large
capacitive loads at high frequency. The package power

driver. The energy stored in a capacitor is described by the
equation:
E = 1/2 C V
2
As this energy is lost in the driver each time the load is
charged or discharged, for power dissipation calculations the
1/2 is removed. This equation also shows that it is good
practice not to place more voltage on the capacitor than is
necessary, as dissipation increases as the square of the
voltage applied to the capacitor. For a driver with a capacitive
load:
PL = f C (VS)
2
where:
f = Operating Frequency
C = Load Capacitance
VS = Driver Supply Voltage
Inductive Load Power Dissipation
For inductive loads the situation is more complicated. For the
part of the cycle in which the driver is actively forcing current
into the inductor, the situation is the same as it is in the
resistive case:
PL1 = I2 RO D
However, in this instance the RO required may be either the
on resistance of the driver when its output is in the high state,
or its on resistance when the driver is in the low state,
depending on how the inductor is connected, and this is still
only half the story. For the part of the cycle when the inductor
is forcing current through the driver, dissipation is best
described as
PL2 = I VD (1 – D)
VS = power supply voltage
Transition Power Dissipation
Transition power is dissipated in the driver each time its
output changes state, because during the transition, for a
very brief interval, both the N- and P-channel MOSFETs in
the output totem-pole are ON simultaneously, and a current
is conducted through them from VS to ground. The transition
power dissipation is approximately:
PT = 2 f VS (A•s)
where (A•s) is a time-current factor derived from the typical
characteristic curve “Crossover Energy vs. Supply Voltage.”
Total power (PD) then, as previously described is:
PD = PL + PQ + P

CL = Load Capacitance in Farads.
D = Duty Cycle expressed as the fraction of time the

f = Operating Frequency of the driver in Hertz
IH = Power supply current drawn by a driver when both

IL = Power supply current drawn by a driver when both
inputs are low and neither output is loaded.

PL = Power dissipated in the driver due to the driver’s

where VD is the forward drop of the clamp diode in the driver

must be summed in to produce P
PL = PL1 + P
L2
L
Quiescent Power Dissipation
Quiescent power dissipation (PQ, as described in the input
section) depends on whether the input is high or low. A low
input will result in a maximum current drain (per driver) of
≤ 0.2mA; a logic high will result in a current drain of ≤ 3.0mA.
Quiescent power can therefore be found from:
PQ = VS [D IH + (1 – D) IL]
where:
IH = quiescent current with input high
IL = quiescent current with input low
D = fraction of time input is high (duty cycle)
PQ = Power dissipated in a quiescent driver in Watts.
PT = Power dissipated in a driver when the output
changes states (“shoot-through current”) in Watts.
NOTE: The “shoot-through” current from a dual
transition (once up, once down) for both drivers is
stated in Figure 7 in ampere-nanoseconds. This
figure must be multiplied by the number of repetitions per second (frequency) to find Watts.
RO = Output resistance of a driver in Ohms.
VS = Power supply voltage to the IC in Volts.
