GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC429 is a high-speed, single CMOS-level translator and driver. Designed specifically to drive highly capacitive power MOSFET gates, the TC429 features 2.5Ω output impedance and 6A peak output current drive. A 2500pF capacitive load will be driven 18V in 25nsec. Delay time through the device is 60nsec. The rapid switching times with large capacitive loads minimize MOSFET transition power loss. A TTL/CMOS input logic level is translated into an output voltage swing that equals the supply and will swing to within 25mV of ground or VDD. Input voltage swing may equal the supply. Logic input current is under 10µA, making direct interface to CMOS/bipolar switch-mode power supply controllers easy. Input "speed-up" capacitors are not required. The CMOS design minimizes quiescent power supply current. With a logic 1 input, power supply current is 5mA maximum and decreases to 0.5mA for logic 0 inputs. For dual devices, see the TC426/TC427/TC428 data sheet. For noninverting applications, or applications requiring latch-up protection, see the TC4420/TC4429 data sheet.

SUPPLY BYPASSING
Charging and discharging large capacitive loads quickly requires large currents. For example, charging a 2500 pF load 18V in 25nsec requires a 1.8A current from the device's power supply. To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing.

POWER-ON OSCILLATION
It is extremely important that all MOSFET DRIVER applications be evaluated for the possibility of having HIGH-POWER OSCILLATIONS occurring during the POWER-ON cycle. POWER-ON OSCILLATIONS are due to trace size and layout as well as component placement. A ‘quick fix’ for most applications which exhibit POWER-ON OSCILLATION problems is to place approximately 10 kΩ in series with the input of the MOSFET driver.
