General Description
The TC4423/TC4424/TC4425 devices are a family of
3A, dual-output buffers/MOSFET drivers. Pin compati-
ble with the TC1426/27/28, TC4426/27/28 and
TC4426A/27A/28A dual 1.5A driver families, the
TC4423/24/25 family has an increased latch-up current
rating of 1.5A, making them even more robust for
operation in harsh electrical environments.
As MOSFET drivers, the TC4423/TC4424/TC4425 can
easily charge 1800 pF gate capacitance in under
35 nsec, providing 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.
The TC4423/TC4424/TC4425 inputs may be driven
directly from either TTL or CMOS (2.4V to 18V). In
addition, the 300 mV of built-in hysteresis provides
noise immunity and allows the device to be driven from
slowly rising or falling waveforms.
