The Microchip dual high-speed power MOSFET driver 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 occurs on the Ground pin. They can accept, without damage or logic upset, up to 500 mA of reverse current 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 easily charge/discharge 1000 pF gate 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. High peak output current 1.5A
