MIC5018
IttyBitty™ High-Side MOSFET Driver
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC5018 IttyBitty™ high-side MOSFET driver is designed to switch an N-channel enhancement-type MOSFET
from a TTL compatible control signal in high- or low-side
switch applications. This driver features the tiny 4-lead
SOT-143 package.
The MIC5018 is powered from a +2.7V to +9V supply and
features extremely low off-state supply current. An internal
charge pump drives the gate output higher than the driver
supply voltage and can sustain the gate voltage indefinitely.
An internal zener diode limits the gate-to-source voltage to a
safe level for standard N-channel MOSFETs.
In high-side configurations, the source voltage of the MOSFET approaches the supply voltage when switched on. To
keep the MOSFET turned on, the MIC5018’s output drives
the MOSFET gate voltage higher than the supply voltage. In
a typical high-side configuration, the driver is powered from
the load supply voltage. Under some conditions, the MIC5018
and MOSFET can switch a load voltage that is slightly higher
than the driver supply voltage.
In a low-side configuration, the driver can control a MOSFET
that switches any voltage up to the rating of the MOSFET.
The gate output voltage is higher than the typical 3.3V or 5V
logic supply and can fully enhance a standard MOSFET.
The MIC5018 is available in the SOT-143 package and
is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.

General Note: Devices are ESD protected, however handling precautions are recommended.
Note 1: Typical values at TA = 25°C. Minimum and maximum values indicate performance at –40°C ≥ TA ≥ +85°C. Parts production tested at 25°C.
Note 2: Guaranteed by design.
Note 3: Resistive load selected for V
Note 4: Turn-on time is the time required for gate voltage to rise to 4V greater than the supply voltage. This represents a typical MOSFET gate
threshold voltage.
Note 5: Turn-off time is the time required for the gate voltage to fall to 4V above the supply voltage. This represents a typical MOSFET gate threshold
voltage.
