No, that's a high-low driver, you need just a low-side driver and you need to give it at least 5V for that MOSFET
if the datasheet says its OK at 5V (*). I've used the MIC4422 before which will definitely do the job (its actually
overkill really), many many other driver chips exist. Note that a MOSFET driver chip needs decoupling just like
any other chip, and 1uF or more ceramic is good.(*) Some mosfet drivers may require a higher supply. The STP36NF06L MOSFET can handle gate
voltages from 5 to 12V and operate properly.
Nay, sir. A push-pull affair is exactly what the OP needs. To say the OP needs "just a low-side driver" is misleading. But, I get the impression this is a language issue. I'm wondering if what you really mean, is, the IR2301 is designed for very high voltages, like 600V. And, yes, the MIC4422 looks like a winner!
