TC4426ACOA Description

The TC4426ACOA from Microchip Technology is a high-performance, dual-channel low-side gate driver designed for robust switching applications. Housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, this surface-mount IC operates over a 4.5V to 18V supply range, making it versatile for various power electronics designs. With 1.5A peak output current (source/sink) and 25ns rise/fall times, it ensures fast and efficient switching of MOSFETs and IGBTs. The inverting input logic (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V) simplifies interface with control circuits, while its independent channels allow flexible configuration. Compliant with ROHS3 and REACH standards, it is suitable for environmentally conscious designs.

TC4426ACOA Features

• Dual-Channel Design: Two independent drivers for parallel or complementary switching.
• High-Speed Performance: 25ns typical rise/fall times for minimal switching losses.
