General Description

The MAX15024/MAX15025 single/dual, high-speed
MOSFET gate drivers are capable of operating at fre-
quencies up to 1MHz with large capacitive loads. The
MAX15024 includes internal source-and-sink output
transistors with independent outputs allowing for control
of the external MOSFET’s rise and fall time. The
MAX15024 is a single gate driver capable of sinking an
8A peak current and sourcing a 4A peak current. The
MAX15025 is a dual gate driver capable of sinking a 4A
peak current and sourcing a 2A peak current. An inte-
grated adjustable LDO voltage regulator provides gate-
drive amplitude control and optimization.

The MAX15024A/C and MAX15025A/C/E/G accept tran-
sistor-to-transistor (TTL) input logic levels while the
MAX15024B/D and MAX15025B/D/F/H accept CMOS-
input logic levels. High sourcing/sinking peak currents, a
low propagation delay, and thermally enhanced pack-
ages make the MAX15024/MAX15025 ideal for high-fre-
quency and high-power circuits. The MAX15024/
MAX15025 operate from a 4.5V to 28V supply. A sepa-
rate output driver supply input enhances flexibility and
permits a soft-start of the power MOSFETs used in syn-
chronous rectifiers.

The MAX15024/MAX15025 are available in 10-pin
TDFN packages and are specified over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range.
