Direct Drive of MOSFETs
Figure 11 shows interfaces between the ICL7667 and typical
switching regulator ICs. Note that unlike the DS0026, the
ICL7667 does not need a dropping resistor and speedup
capacitor between it and the regulator IC. The ICL7667, with
its high slew rate and high voltage drive can directly drive the
gate of the MOSFET. The SG1527 IC is the same as the

SG1525 IC, except that the outputs are inverted. This
inversion is needed since ICL7667 is an inverting buffer.
Transformer Coupled Drive of MOSFETs
Transformers are often used for isolation between the logic
and control section and the power section of a switching
regulator. The high output drive capability of the ICL7667
enables it to directly drive such transformers. Figure 11
shows a typical transformer coupled drive circuit. PWM ICs
with either active high or active low output can be used in
this circuit, since any inversion required can be obtained by
reversing the windings on the secondaries.
Buffered Drivers for Multiple MOSFETs
In very high power applications which use a group of
MOSFETs in parallel, the input capacitance may be very large
and it can be difficult to charge and discharge quickly.
Figure 13 shows a circuit which works very well with very
large capacitance loads. When the input of the driver is zero,
