The LTC
®
4440 is a high frequency high side N-channel
MOSFET gate driver that is designed to operate in applica-
tions with V
IN
voltages up to 80V. The LTC4440 can also
withstand and continue to function during 100V V
IN
tran-
sients. The powerful driver capability reduces switching
losses in MOSFETs with high gate capacitances. The
LTC4440’s pull-up has a peak output current of 2.4A and
its pull-down has an output impedance of 1.5Ω.
The LTC4440 features supply independent TTL/CMOS
compatible input thresholds with 350mV of hysteresis.
The input logic signal is internally level-shifted to the
bootstrapped supply, which may function at up to 115V
above ground.
The LTC4440 contains both high side and low side under-
voltage lockout circuits that disable the external MOSFET
when activated.
The LTC4440 is available in the low profile (1mm) SOT-23
and thermally enhanced 8-lead MSOP packages.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC4440 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation PD according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (PD •

JA
°C/W)
Note 4:
Failure to solder the exposed back side of the MS8E package to
the PC board will result in a thermal resistance much higher than 40°C/W.

(Pin 1):
Chip Supply. This pin powers the internal low
side circuitry. A low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor should
be tied between this pin and the GND pin (Pin 2).
GND (Pin 2):

This pin swings between TS and BOOST.
BOOST (Pin 6):
High Side Bootstrapped Supply. An exter-
