Gate Drivers ICs

TC4468COE Description

The TC4468COE from Microchip Technology is a high-performance 4-channel low-side gate driver IC designed for precision switching applications. Housed in a 16-SOIC package, it operates over a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 18V, making it versatile for various power electronics designs. With a peak output current capability of 1.2A (source/sink), it ensures robust driving of MOSFETs and IGBTs. The device features independent channels, allowing flexible control of each output, and delivers fast rise/fall times of 15ns (typical), minimizing switching losses. Its 0°C to 150°C (TJ) operating temperature range and ROHS3 compliance make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

TC4468COE Features

• High-Current Drive: Delivers 1.2A peak output current for efficient switching of power devices.
• Fast Switching: 15ns rise/fall times reduce power dissipation and improve efficiency.
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports 4.5V to 18V supply, compatible with 5V, 12V, and 15V systems.
• Independent Channels: Four isolated drivers enable precise control in multi-switch configurations.
• Robust Design: MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity and REACH unaffected status ensure reliability.
• Low Logic Thresholds: VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V for compatibility with TTL and CMOS logic levels.
