TC4426M/TC4427M/TC4428M
1.5A Dual High-Speed Power MOSFET Drivers
General Description
Features
• High Peak Output Current – 1.5A
• Wide Input Supply Voltage Operating Range:
- 4.5V to 18V
The TC4426M/TC4427M/TC4428M are improved
versions of the earlier TC426M/TC427M/TC428M
family of MOSFET drivers. The TC4426M/TC4427M/
TC4428M devices have matched rise and fall times
when charging and discharging the gate of a MOSFET.
• High Capacitive Load Drive Capability – 1000 pF
in 25 ns (typ.)
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
4 kV.
• Short Delay Times – 40 ns (typ.)
• Matched Rise and Fall Times
• Low Supply Current:
- With Logic ‘1’ Input – 4 mA
- With Logic ‘0’ Input – 400 µA
• Low Output Impedance – 7Ω
• Latch-Up Protected: Will Withstand 0.5A Reverse

capacitances in under 30 ns and 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.
• Pin-Compatible with the TC426M/TC427M/
TC428M, TC4426AM/TC4427AM/TC4428AM
Devices
• Wide Operating Temperature Range:
- -55°C to +125°C
The TC4426AM/TC4427AM/TC4428AM family of
devices are also compatible drivers. The TC4426AM/
TC4427AM/TC4428AM devices have matched
leading and falling edge input-to-output delay times, in
addition to the matched rise and fall times of the
TC4426M/TC4427M/TC4428M devices.
