Microchip MIC4520

Description

The MIC4520/MIC4521 is an IntelliMOS power stage family capable of delivering up to 20A in a compact 4 x 6mm TQFN package. The MIC4521 is a two phase power stage (includes MOSFET drivers and power MOSFETs) featuring integrated current and temperature sensing. The MIC4521 can be interfaced with a single phase controller (such as Micrel’s MIC2111) to build a complete high current and high performance power converter. The MIC4520 is a single phase power stage that can operate with a single phase or multiphase controller. The MIC4520/MIC4521 utilizes Micrel’s high performance FETZilla™ DMOS technology to achieve high efficiency (over 90% peak).
