Description

The LTC^®1177-5/LTC1177-12 are isolated high side MOSFET drivers. When used with an external N-channel MOSFET, the LTC1177-5/LTC1177-12 form an isolated solid state switch for reliable bounce-free switching operation.
The output does not require an auxiliary power supply to maintain an on-state condition.
Two lead frame capacitors are used to transfer energy from the input to drive the gate of the MOSFET and provide
the necessary isolation. Unlike optoisolated FET drivers, the input current for the LTC1177-5 is only 1mA and
2.5mA for LTC1177-12. It also does not have the aging problems endemic to optocouplers.
Both devices provide 2500VRMS (1 minute) or 3000VRMS (1 second) of output-to-input isolation.
The LTC1177-5/LTC1177-12 are available in the 18-pin PDIP or 28-pin SW package.
