MANUFACTURER PART RECORDMIC4422ZM
Microchip TechnologyMIC4422ZM is a Microchip 9 A peak low-side MOSFET/IGBT gate driver in 8-pin SOIC, tube packing (ZM) — 4.5 V to 18 V supply, 9 A source/sink, 25 ns matched rise and fall times, 30 ns typical delay, 1.5 Ω output impedance, 7 pF equivalent input capacitance, 450 uA quiescent supply current, 0 to +150 °C junction temperature. The 9 A peak with tightly matched edges is the selection point: it drives the largest power MOSFETs and paralleled modules directly with symmetrical switching, while the input tolerates a −5 V negative swing without damage and the fully isolated BiCMOS/DMOS construction is inherently latch-up proof — ruggedness that matters in switch-mode supplies, motor controls, pulse-transformer drivers and Class-D stages. Selection advice: MIC4422 is the non-inverting driver; the MIC4421 is its inverting twin — pick by the logic polarity your controller produces, since swapping them inverts the drive. The ZM code is the tube-packaged 8-SOIC; the MIC4422ZM-TR is the tape-and-reel variant — match the full ordering code to your assembly line. Microchip lists MIC4422ZM as In Production. Evidence: Microchip (Micrel-heritage) MIC4421/4422 datasheet and distributor listings confirm 9 A, 4.5–18 V, non-inverting, 8-SOIC and tube packing. Match the full MIC4422ZM code.
