Interfacing a low-side Mosfet on a 3,3V DSP

PDES
on May 14, 2012

Hi all,

I need to interface a low side mosfet on a DSP, powered at 3,3V.

The maximum switching frequency in not so high (300Hz) and the duty cycle can vary between 10:90%.

The source/sync current available from the DSP is sufficient to turn-on/off the mosfet but, even using a logic level mosfet, the VGS is not so high (3,3V only).

In this case is it preferrable to use a simple level translator buffer, or a low side driver, like the ADP3630, could be better ?

The ADP3630 has a maximum current of 2A while I need only few hundreds of uA. Could I use something else ?

Thanks in advance
