Non-Inverting Driver: The output of the TC4420CPA is a non-inverted version of its input signal. This means a high input results in a high output, and a low input results in a low output.High Peak Output Current: Capable of sourcing and sinking up to 6A (peak) of current, enabling it to drive large MOSFETs or other power switching devices quickly and efficiently.Fast Switching Speeds: Boasts fast rise and fall times (typically 25 ns when driving a 2500 pF load). It also has a low propagation delay time, typically 55 ns.CMOS/TTL Compatible Inputs: Its inputs are compatible with both CMOS and TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) logic levels, allowing for easy interfacing with various control circuits like microcontrollers.Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operates reliably from a supply voltage between 4.5V and 18V.Low Power Consumption: Fabricated using CMOS technology, which contributes to lower power consumption compared to older bipolar drivers. The typical supply current when the input is logic '1' is 450 µA.Latch-Up Protection: Designed to be virtually latch-up proof, withstanding >1.5A of reverse output current.ESD Protection: Includes 4kV ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection.Rail-to-Rail Output Swing: The output voltage can swing within 25 mV of ground or VDD (the positive supply voltage).Replaces Discrete Components: Can often replace three or more discrete components, leading to reduced PCB (Printed Circuit Board) area, fewer parts, and improved overall system reliability.
