Description
The FAN3268 dual 2A gate driver is optimized to drive a
high-side P-channel MOSFET and a low-side N-channel
MOSFET in motor control applications operating from a
voltage rail up to 18V. The driver has TTL input
thresholds and provides buffer and level translation
functions from logic inputs. Internal circuitry provides an
under-voltage lockout function that prevents the output
switching devices from operating if the V
voltage is below the operating level. Internal 100kΩ
resistors bias the non-inverting output low and the
inverting output to V
off during startup intervals when logic control signals
may not be present.
The FAN3268 driver incorporates MillerDrive™
architecture for the final output stage. This bipolarMOSFET combination provides high current during the
Miller plateau stage of the MOSFET turn-on / turn-off
process to minimize switching loss, while providing railto-rail voltage swing and reverse current capability.
The FAN3268 has two independent enable pins that
default to on if not connected. If the enable pin for noninverting channel A is pulled low, OUTA is forced low; if
the enable pin for inverting channel B is pulled low,
OUTB is forced high. If an input is left unconnected,
internal resistors bias the inputs such that the external
MOSFETs are off.

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
