Adaptive-Dead-Time circuitry maximises MOSFET power efficiency

Featuring Adaptive-Dead-Time and Shoot-Through protection, the MIC4605 is an 85V Half Bridge MOSFET driver from Micrel. By actively monitoring the Half Bridge, the Adaptive-Dead-Time circuitry can minimise the time between high and low side MOSFET transitions to increase the power efficiency, while the Anti-Shoot-Through circuitry prevents erroneous inputs and noise from turning both MOSFETs on at the same time.
