LTC1255
Dual 24V High-Side
MOSFET Driver
The LTC1255 dual high-side driver allows using low
cost N-channel FETs for high-side industrial and auto-
motive switching applications. An internal charge pump
boosts the gate drive voltage above the positive rail,
fully enhancing an N-channel MOS switch with no
external components. Low power operation, with 12µA
standby current, allows use in virtually all systems with
maximum efficiency.
Included on-chip is independent overcurrent sensing
to provide automatic shutdown in case of short circuits.
A time delay can be added to the current sense to
prevent false triggering on high in-rush current loads.
The LTC1255 operates from 9V to 24V supplies and is
well suited for industrial and automotive applications.
The LTC1255 is available in both an 8-pin DIP and an
8-pin SOIC.
