TC4421CPA

Microchip Tech · Gate Drive ICs · PDIP-8

TC4421CPA from Microchip Tech, in a PDIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in Supply input rated 4.5V to 18V with respect to GND; duplicate VDD pins must both be connected and bypassed with a local ceramic capacitor of at least 1.0 µF suggested.
2 INPUT input High-impedance TTL/CMOS compatible control input with 300 mV of hysteresis between the high and low thresholds.
3 NC unconnected No connection.
4 GND power_in Ground return for bias current and high peak discharge currents; both GND pins must be connected and tied to a ground plane or very short traces.
5 GND power_in Ground return for bias current and high peak discharge currents; both GND pins must be connected and tied to a ground plane or very short traces.
6 OUTPUT output CMOS push-pull output driving capacitive loads with 9.0A peak current and withstanding 1.5A peak reverse current of either polarity; duplicate output pins must both be connected.
7 OUTPUT output CMOS push-pull output driving capacitive loads with 9.0A peak current and withstanding 1.5A peak reverse current of either polarity; duplicate output pins must both be connected.
8 VDD power_in Supply input rated 4.5V to 18V with respect to GND; duplicate VDD pins must both be connected and bypassed with a local ceramic capacitor of at least 1.0 µF suggested.
