Gate Drivers ICs

TC4404COA Description

The TC4404COA from Microchip Technology is a high-performance low-side gate driver IC designed for robust switching applications. Housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, this surface-mount device operates over a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, making it suitable for diverse power electronics designs. With dual independent inverting drivers, it delivers peak output currents of 1.5A (source/sink), ensuring fast and efficient switching of MOSFETs or IGBTs. The TC4404COA features a rise/fall time of 40ns (max), enabling high-speed operation while minimizing switching losses. Its 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range and MSL 3 (168 hours) moisture sensitivity ensure reliability in industrial environments.

TC4404COA Features

• Dual Independent Drivers: Two inverting channels for flexible control.
• High Output Current: 1.5A source/sink capability for driving large capacitive loads.
• Fast Switching: 40ns rise/fall times (max) for reduced power dissipation.
• Wide Voltage Range: 4.5V–18V supply compatibility for versatile applications.
• Robust Design: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99/ECCN certified for global compliance.
• Low Logic Thresholds: VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V for easy interfacing with microcontrollers or logic circuits.
• Surface-Mount Package: 8-pin SOIC for compact PCB layouts.

TC4404COA Applications

• Motor Drives: Efficiently controls low-side switches in brushed/brushless DC motor systems.
• Power Supplies: Drives MOSFETs in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and DC-DC converters.
• LED Drivers: Enables high-speed PWM dimming in high-power LED applications.
• Industrial Automation: Ideal for PLCs, solenoids, and relay drivers requiring fast switching.
• Inverters: Supports IGBT/MOSFET gate driving in solar inverters and UPS systems.

Conclusion of TC4404COA
