I did had a look at that some time ago when somebody else proposed it. The problem i see with that is that it is a current device, this is why datasheet has no VIH and VIL levels. It is controlled by current in its IN pin. On the other hand we have a uC that "talks" in voltage levels, thats a voltage device. That being said ofc it is quite possible to pair a voltage device with a current device. Just imho, this context is not ideal, especially not when talking about fast switch times and precise control. Ofc, this is just an opinion. The mosfet drivers from microchip have VIH and VIL ratings in datasheet, that means their input take voltage levels and that is what our uC outputs, sort of speaking in this case they can "understand" each other better. So while its not wrong to use that particular zetex mosfet driver, i would prefer to use a device that is voltage controlled coz that is what my controller outputs, and in this context it sort of makes more sense to me.
