TC4426A/TC4427A/TC4428A
1.5A Dual High-Speed Power MOSFET Drivers
Features:
General Description:
• High Peak Output Current: 1.5A
• Wide Input Supply Voltage Operating Range:
- 4.5V to 18V
• High Capacitive Load Drive Capability: 1000 pF in
25 ns (typical)
• Short Delay Times: 30 ns (typical)
• Matched Rise, Fall and Delay Times
• Low Supply Current:
- With Logic ‘1’ Input – 1 mA (typical)
- With Logic ‘0’ Input – 100 µA (typical)
• Low Output Impedance: 7(typical)
• Latch-Up Protected: Will Withstand 0.5A Reverse
Current
• Input Withstands Negative Inputs Up to 5V
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protected: 2 kV
• Pin-compatible with TC426/TC427/TC428 and
TC4426/TC4427/TC4428
• Space-saving 8-Pin MSOP and 8-Pin 6x5 DFN-S
Packages
The TC4426A/TC4427A/TC4428A are improved
versions of the earlier TC4426/TC4427/TC4428 family
of MOSFET drivers. In addition to matched rise and fall
times, the TC4426A/TC4427A/TC4428A devices have
matched leading and falling edge propagation delay
times.
These devices are highly latch-up resistant under any
conditions within their power and voltage ratings. They
are not subject to damage when up to 5V of noise
spiking (of either polarity) occurs on the Ground pin.
They can accept, without damage or logic upset, up to
500 mA of reverse current (of either polarity) being
forced back into their outputs. All terminals are fully
protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) up
to 2 kV.
The TC4426A/TC4427A/TC4428A MOSFET drivers
can

capacitances in under 30 ns. These devices provide
low enough impedances in both the On and Off states
to ensure the MOSFET’s intended state will not be
affected, even by large transients.
Applications:
• Switch Mode Power Supplies
• Line Drivers
• Pulse Transformer Drive

Inputs A and B (IN A, IN B)
3.4
Supply Input (VDD)
The VDD input is the bias supply for the MOSFET driver
and is rated for 4.5V to 18V, with respect to the ground
pin. The VDD input should be bypassed with local
ceramic capacitors. The value of these capacitors
should be chosen based on the capacitive load that is
being driven.
Ground (GND)
The Ground pin is the return path for both the bias
current and the high-peak current that discharges the
external load capacitance. The Ground pin should be
tied into a ground plane or have a very short trace to the
bias supply source return.
3.3
No connection
2
MOSFET driver inputs A and B are high-impedance,
TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. These inputs also have
300 mV of hysteresis between the high and low
thresholds that prevents output glitching, even when
the rise and fall time of the input signal is very slow.
3.2
Description
3.5
Exposed Metal Pad (EP)
The exposed metal pad of the 6x5 DFN-S package is
not internally connected to any potential. Therefore,
this pad can be connected to a ground plane or other
copper plane on a printed circuit board, to aid in heat
removal from the package.
Output A and B (OUT A, OUT B)
MOSFET driver outputs A and B are low-impedance,
CMOS push-pull style outputs. The pull-down and
pull-up devices are of equal strength, making the rise
and fall times equivalent.
