Working Principles

The MIC4452ABM is designed to drive power MOSFETs and IGBTs in various applications. It operates by receiving a logic-level input control signal (IN) and generating complementary gate drive signals (LO and HO) for the low-side and high-side devices, respectively. The bootstrap supply (VS) provides the necessary voltage for the high-side driver.

The adaptive shoot-through protection ensures that both the high-side and low-side devices are not simultaneously turned on, preventing damaging shoot-through currents. The undervoltage lockout feature disables the outputs when the supply voltage falls below a certain threshold, protecting against unreliable operation. In case of excessive temperature, the thermal shutdown activates, disabling the outputs until the temperature returns to a safe level.
