UC3710 Driver IC Chip

UC3710(High Current FET Driver)

Introduction

The UC1710/UC2710/UC3710 FET drivers is made with a high-speed Schottky process to interface between low-level control functions and very high-power switching devices-particularly power MOSFET’s. These devices accept low-current digital inputs to activate a high-current, totem pole output which can source or sink a minimum of 6A.

Supply voltages for both VIN and Vc can independently range from 4.7V to 18V. These devices also feature under-voltage lockout with hysteresis.

The UC1710 is packaged in an 8-pin hermetically sealed dual in-line package for -55°C to +125°C operation. The UC2710 and UC3710 are specified for a temperature range of – 40°C to +85°C and 0°C to +70°C respectively and are available in either an 8-pin plastic dual in-line or a 5-pin, TO-220 package. Surface mount devices are also available.
