In summary, Microchip offers power management devices that address a number of motor drive applications. The MIC4604 Half-Bridge is the newest addition to the product portfolio. The MIC4604 is an 85V Half Bridge MOSFET driver with integrated bootstrap diode. The MIC4604 features programmable gate drive, gate-to-source voltage equals the V_DD voltage. The feature offers designers the flexibility to drive MOSFETs to the desired R_DS(ON) performance. Typically, MOSFETs are driven at 12V to achieve low R_DS(ON). For battery-powered applications, the MIC4604 offers the ability to drive MOSFETs as low as 5.5V which allows for longer battery run time compared to the traditional MOSFET drivers. This makes the MIC4604 an ideal solution for power tools and battery-powered motor applications.
