TC4427 Dual MOSFET Driver

@@ -0,0 +1,60 @@+# TC4427++**Microchip** · Gate Driver · SOIC-8++The TC4427 is a dual high-speed MOSFET gate driver that sources and sinks up to 1.5 A to drive power-MOSFET gates quickly. Its two non-inverting channels charge a 1000 pF gate in under 30 ns, buffering weak logic outputs to switch power stages, motor drivers, and switching supplies. Inverting (TC4426) and complementary (TC4428) versions share the family.++## Pinout++| Pin | Name | Type | Function |+|---|---|---|---|+| 1 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to a convenient net. |+| 2 | IN_A | input | Non-inverting logic input for channel A driver. VIH ≥ 2.4V, VIL ≤ 0.8V, IIN ±1 µA typical; withstands negative inputs down to VDD+0.3V / (GND-5V). Ground any unused driver input. |+| 3 | GND | power_in | Device ground. Common return for logic and the high-current MOSFET output stage; requires a low-inductance path to the source of the driven power MOSFET. |+| 4 | IN_B | input | Non-inverting logic input for channel B driver. Same electrical characteristics as IN A (VIH ≥ 2.4V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). Ground if unused. |+| 5 | OUT_B | output | Non-inverting high-current gate-drive output for channel B. 1.5A peak, ~7Ω output impedance, VOH ≈ VDD-0.025V, VOL ≈ 0.025V. Sources/sinks gate charge to switch a power MOSFET. |+| 6 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply, 4.5V to 18V (22V absolute max). Bypass locally with a low-ESR capacitor sized for the gate charge being switched, since peak output current is 1.5A. |+| 7 | OUT_A | output | Non-inverting high-current gate-drive output for channel A. 1.5A peak, ~7Ω output impedance, VOH ≈ VDD-0.025V, VOL ≈ 0.025V. |+| 8 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to a convenient net. |++## Key specifications++| Parameter | Value |+|---|---|+| Type | Dual non-inverting MOSFET gate driver |+| Peak output current | 1.5 A source/sink |+| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 18 V |+| Rise/fall time | <30 ns into 1000 pF |+| Propagation delay | 30 ns typ |+| Operating temperature | -40 C to 85 C |++## Ordering variants++- `TC4427OA`+- `TC4427EOA`+- `TC4427VOA`+- `TC4427CPA`+- `TC4427EPA`+- `TC4427VPA`+- `TC4427CUA`+- `TC4427EUA`+- `TC4427VUA`+- `TC4427CMF`+- `TC4427EMF`+- `TC4427VMF`++## CAD (KiCad official)++- Symbol: `tc4427.kicad_sym`+- Footprint: `tc4427.kicad_mod`+- 3D model: SOIC-8 body from KiCad `Package_SO/SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm`.++## Provenance++Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:++- **Datasheet:** [Microchip datasheet](https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20001422G.pdf) (28 pp, sha256 `4704cae2316fdff9`, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)+- **Extractor:** `ds2sf` (Claude).
