Microchip Technology, Inc. Gate Driver IC TC4427COA713

The TC4426/TC4427/TC4428 series of MOSFET drivers from Microchip are designed for high-speed operation with a peak output current of 1.5A. They operate within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V and can drive capacitive loads of up to 1000pF in approximately 25ns. The devices feature short delay times, typically around 40ns, and matched rise and fall times, ensuring efficient switching performance. These drivers are highly resistant to latch-up and can withstand reverse currents of up to 500mA without damage. They also offer protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 2.0kV. The TC4426 has two inverting drivers, while the TC4427 has two non-inverting drivers, and the TC4428 features one of each. The package options include 8-pin MSOP and DFN-S, making them suitable for space-constrained applications. Engineers looking for reliable and efficient MOSFET drivers for applications such as switch mode power supplies and line drivers may find the TC4426/TC4427/TC4428 series to be a suitable choice.
