Working Principles

The MIC4422AZN is designed to drive MOSFETs and IGBTs in various applications. It operates by receiving a control signal at the input pin (IN), which determines the state of the low-side output (LO). The high-side output (HO) follows the inverse state of the low-side output.

When the input signal is high, the low-side output is driven low, turning off the power device connected to it. Conversely, when the input signal is low, the low-side output is driven high, turning on the power device. This allows efficient switching of power devices in applications such as motor control, power supplies, and inverters.
