Microchip Technology, Inc. Gate Drivers TC429CPA

The TC429 is a high-speed, low-side MOSFET driver designed for applications requiring rapid switching of power MOSFETs. It features a peak output current capability of 6A and operates within a supply voltage range of 7V to 18V. The driver is compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels, allowing for easy interfacing with various control circuits. With a low supply current of 5 mA at a logic '1' input and 0.5 mA at a logic '0', the TC429 is efficient in power consumption. It has a short delay time of 75 ns and can drive a capacitive load of 2500 pF to 18V in just 25 ns, making it suitable for applications such as switch-mode power supplies, CCD drivers, and Class D amplifiers. The device is available in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, which is advantageous for space-constrained designs. Engineers looking for a reliable and efficient MOSFET driver for high-speed applications may find the TC429 to be a suitable choice.
