This document introduces the features of the MCP14E3/MCP14E4/MCP14E5 series devices, including high peak output current, independent enable function, low switch current, wide input supply voltage range, high capacitive load drive capability, short delay time, latch-up protection and so on. These devices are used in switch mode power supplies, pulse transformer drives, line drivers, motor and solenoid drives.
The MCP14E3/E4/E5 devices are a family of dual 4.0 A MOSFET drivers offering independent enable functions, low shoot‑through current, and latch‑up protection. They operate from a single 4.5 V to 18 V supply and can charge/discharge 2200 pF loads in under 15 ns.
The drivers are available in 8‑lead 6×5 DFN, PDIP, and SOIC packages, rated for –40 °C to +125 °C operation. Electrical specifications include typical rise/fall times of 15 ns/18 ns, propagation delay around 46 ns, and high‑speed capacitive load drive capability suitable for switch‑mode power supplies, line drivers, and motor/solenoid drives.
