MCP1406-E

Microchip Tech · Gate Drivers · SOIC-8

MCP1406-E from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in Bias supply input for the MOSFET driver with a voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, which must be decoupled to ground with local capacitors.
2 INPUT input High-impedance, TTL/CMOS-compatible control input with hysteresis between high and low levels, which withstands a negative swing up to 5V.
3 NC unconnected No connection; the pin is not connected internally in the 8-pin PDIP/SOIC package.
4 GND power_in Device return pin that should have a low-impedance connection to the bias supply source return; both GND pins must be used for proper operation.
5 GND power_in Device return pin that should have a low-impedance connection to the bias supply source return; both GND pins must be used for proper operation.
6 OUTPUT output CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing peak currents of 6A at VDD = 18V with a reverse current latch-up rating of 1.5A; both OUTPUT pins must be used for proper operation.
7 OUTPUT output CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing peak currents of 6A at VDD = 18V with a reverse current latch-up rating of 1.5A; both OUTPUT pins must be used for proper operation.
8 VDD power_in Bias supply input for the MOSFET driver with a voltage range of 4.5V to 18V; both VDD pins must be used for proper operation and decoupled to ground with local capacitors.
