GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC429 is a high-speed, single CMOS-level translator and driver. Designed specifically to drive highly capacitive power MOSFET gates, the TC429 features 2.5Ω output
impedance and 6A peak output current drive.
A 2500pF capacitive load will be driven 18V in 25nsec.
Delay time through the device is 60nsec. The rapid switching
times with large capacitive loads minimize MOSFET transition power loss.
A TTL/CMOS input logic level is translated into an
output voltage swing that equals the supply and will swing
to within 25mV of ground or VDD. Input voltage swing may
equal the supply. Logic input current is under 10µA, making
direct interface to CMOS/bipolar switch-mode power supply
controllers easy. Input "speed-up" capacitors are not
required.
The CMOS design minimizes quiescent power supply
current. With a logic 1 input, power supply current is 5mA
maximum and decreases to 0.5mA for logic 0 inputs.
For dual devices, see the TC426/TC427/TC428
data sheet.
For noninverting applications, or applications requiring
latch-up protection, see the TC4420/TC4429 data sheet.
