The LTC
®
1981/LTC1982 are low-power, self-contained
N-channel MOSFET drivers. An internal voltage tripler
allows gates to be driven without the use of any external
components. Internal regulation circuitry allows quies-
cent current to drop to 10µA per driver (20µA for LTC1981)
once the gates are charged.
Low quiescent current and low shutdown current (under
1µA) make these parts ideal for battery and other power
constrained systems. The wide input voltage range ac-
commodates a variety of battery/input configurations.
Gate drive is internally clamped to 7.5V providing protec-
tion to the external MOSFET gate. The MOSFETs can be
driven in either high side or low side mode.
The LTC1981 single driver version also includes a gate
drive ready pin and twice the drive current capacity of the
dual driver LTC1982.
The LTC1981 is available in a 5-pin SOT-23. The LTC1982
is available in a 6-pin SOT-23.

OPERATIO
Charge Pump
To fully enhance the external N-channel switches, internal
charge pumps are used to boost the output gate drive to
approximately 2.5 times the supply voltage, or 7.25V,
whichever is less. A feedback network is used to regulate
the output gate drive. This keeps the supply current low in
addition to providing a maximum output voltage limit. The
reason for the maximum output voltage limit is to avoid
switch gate source breakdown due to excessive gate
overdrive.
The gate drive outputs (GATE 1, GATE 2, or GATE) are
controlled by the shutdown input pins (SHDN 1, SHDN 2
or SHDN). A logic high input on one of the shutdown input
pins enables the corresponding charge pump and drives

the related gate drive output pin high. A logic low input on
one of the shutdown input pins disables the correspond-
ing charge pump and drives the related gate drive output
pin low. If shutdown input on the LTC1981 is low or both
of the shutdown input pins on the LTC1982 are low, the
part will be placed into a low current shutdown mode
(<1µA).
Gate Drive Ready (LTC1981 Only)
The gate drive ready pin (GDR) is used to indicate when the
gate drive output (GATE) is greater than 90% of its final
value. This can be useful in applications that require
knowledge of the state of the gate drive for initialization
purposes or as fault detection should something be load-
ing the gate drive down.
