Overview
The UC3710TG3 is a high-current FET driver produced by Texas Instruments. It is part of the UC1710 family, which is designed to interface between low-level control functions and very high-power switching devices, particularly power MOSFETs. This device is fabricated using a high-speed Schottky process, enabling it to accept low-current digital inputs and activate a high-current, totem pole output that can source or sink a minimum of 6A.
The UC3710TG3 is available in a 5-pin TO-220 (KC) package and is specified for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It features under-voltage lockout with hysteresis and thermal shutdown protection, making it reliable for various power management applications.
