Microchip Technology, Inc. Gate Drivers TC4422VMF

The TC4422VMF is a high-speed, low-side gate driver from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. designed to drive large MOSFETs and IGBTs. It features a high peak output current of 9A and a maximum continuous output current of 2A, making it suitable for applications requiring significant power handling. The device operates within a wide input supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and has fast rise and fall times of 30ns and 180ns, respectively, with specified load capacitances. The TC4422VMF is equipped with short propagation delays of 30ns (typical) and low supply current consumption, with typical values of 200µA when receiving a logic '1' input and 55µA for a logic '0'. It also offers low output impedance of 1.4Oc and is latch-up protected, capable of withstanding reverse currents up to 1.5A. The input can tolerate negative voltages up to 5V, enhancing its robustness in various circuit conditions. This gate driver is pin-compatible with the TC4420 and TC4429, allowing for easy integration into existing designs. It is housed in a compact 8-pin DFN-S package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The TC4422VMF is ideal for use in line drivers, pulse generators, motor and solenoid drivers, and local power switching applications.
