The Texas Instruments LM25101CMAX/NOPB is a two-channel half-bridge gate driver supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package. It delivers up to 3 A of output current per channel with 8 ns rise and fall times, operating from a 9 V to 18 V supply. The LM25101CMAX/NOPB is rated for a -40 C to 125 C operating temperature range and is RoHS compliant and lead free. A gate driver buffers low-power logic signals into the high-current pulses needed to switch a power MOSFET gate quickly.

Half-bridge gate drivers of this type are used in switch-mode power supplies, synchronous buck and boost converters, motor drive inverters, and DC-DC power stages where a high-side and low-side MOSFET must be switched in a complementary pair. The 3 A drive strength and 8 ns edge rates suit designs switching at higher frequencies, while the 9 V to 18 V supply range fits 12 V intermediate bus rails. The -40 C to 125 C rating makes it suitable for industrial and under-hood-adjacent environments. Typical buyers are power supply designers, industrial motor control engineers, and contract manufacturers building power conversion boards.
