Reverse Current
The TC426/TC427/TC428 are dual CMOS high-speed
drivers. A TTL/CMOS input voltage level is translated into
a rail-to-rail output voltage level swing. The CMOS output
is within 25 mV of ground or positive supply.
The low impedance, high-current driver outputs swing
a 1000pF load 18V in 30nsec. The unique current and
voltage drive qualities make the TC426/TC427/TC428 ideal
power MOSFET drivers, line drivers, and DC-to-DC
converter building blocks.
Input logic signals may equal the power supply volt-
age. Input current is a low 1µA, making direct interface to
CMOS/bipolar switch-mode power supply control ICs pos-
sible, as well as open-collector analog comparators.
Quiescent power supply current is 8mA maximum. The
TC426 requires 1/5 the current of the pin-compatible bipo-
lar DS0026 device. This is important in DC-to-DC con-
verter applications with power efficiency constraints and
high-frequencyswitch-modepowersupply applications. Qui-
escent current is typically 6mA when driving a 1000pF load
18V at 100kHz.

PIN CONFIGURATIONS (DIP and SOIC)
The inverting TC426 driver is pin-compatible with the
bipolar DS0026 and MMH0026 devices. The TC427 is
noninverting; the TC428 contains an inverting and non-
inverting driver.
Other pin compatible driver families are the TC1426/
27/28, TC4426/27/28, and TC4426A/27A/28A.
