General Description
The TC4420/TC4429 are 6A (peak), single-output
MOSFET drivers. The TC4429 is an inverting driver
(pin-compatible with the TC429), while the TC4420 is a
non-inverting driver. These drivers are fabricated in
CMOS for lower power and more efficient operation
versus bipolar drivers.
Both devices have TTL/CMOS compatible inpu ts that
can be driven as high a s V
without upset or damage to th e device. T his elimi nates
the need for external level-shifting circuitry and its
associated cost and size. The output swing is rail-to-rail,
ensuring better dri ve voltage margin, espe cially during
power-up/power-down sequencing. Propagational
delay time is only 55 ns (typ.) and the output rise and fall
times are only 25 ns (typ.) into 2500 pF across the
usable power supply range.
Unlike other drivers, the TC4420/TC4429 are virtually
latch-up proof. They replace three or more discrete
components, saving PCB area, parts and improving
overall system reliability.

3.0PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
The VDD input is the bias supp ly for the MO SFET driver
and is rated for 4.5V to 18V with respect to the ground
pins. The VDD input should be bypassed to ground with
a local ceram ic capacitor. The value of the capacito r
should be chos en base d on the capaciti ve load th at is
being driven. A minimum val ue of 1. 0µF is suggested.

3.3CMOS Push-Pull Output
The MOSFET driver output is a low-impedance,
CMOS, push-pull style output capable of driving a
capacitive load with 6.0A peak currents. The MOSFET
driver output is capable of withstanding 1.5A peak
reverse currents of either polarity.
3.4Ground
3.2Control Input
The MOSFET driver input is a high-impedance,
TTL/CMOS compatible input. The input circuitry of the
TC4420/TC4429 MOSFET driver also has a “speedup” capacitor. This helps to decrease the propagation
delay times of the driver. Because of this, input signals
with slow rising or falling edges should not be us ed, a s
this can result in double-pulsing of the MOSFET driver
output.
The ground pins are the return path for the bias current
and the high peak currents that discharge the load
capacitor . The ground pins sh ould be tie d into a g round
plane or have very short traces to the bias supply
source return.
3.5Exposed Metal Pad
The exposed met al p ad of the 6x5 DFN pac ka ge i s n ot
internally connected to any potential. Therefore, this
pad can be connected to a ground plane or other
copper plane on a printed circuit board (PCB) to aid in
heat removal from the package.
