Intersil EL7242/EL7252 Dual Input Power MOSFET Driver Datasheet
The EL7242 and EL7252 are dual‑input, two‑channel drivers that deliver high‑speed switching performance for power MOSFETs. They support logic AND/NAND inputs, 3 V‑5 V compatible inputs, and clocking speeds up to 10 MHz, with a typical switching delay of 20 ns. The devices can deliver a peak drive current of 2 A, feature isolated drains, low output impedance, and low quiescent current, operating over a wide voltage range of 4.5 V to 16 V.
The datasheet lists detailed absolute maximum ratings, DC and AC electrical specifications, switching characteristics, timing tables, and typical performance curves. It also includes ordering information for various package types (PDIP, SOIC) and notes RoHS‑compliant, Pb‑free options. Applications cover short‑circuit protected switching, under‑voltage shut‑down, SMPS, motor controls, and capacitive load switching.
