TC4427CPA

Microchip Tech · Gate Drivers · PDIP-8

TC4427CPA 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 NC unconnected No connection; the datasheet specifies no electrical function for this pin.
2 IN A input MOSFET driver input A is a high-impedance, TTL/CMOS compatible input with 300 mV hysteresis, with VIH minimum 2.4 V and VIL maximum 0.8 V.
3 GND power_in Ground is the device return pin and should have a low-impedance connection to the bias supply return, since high peak current flows out of it when the capacitive load is discharged.
4 IN B input MOSFET driver input B is a high-impedance, TTL/CMOS compatible input with 300 mV hysteresis, with VIH minimum 2.4 V and VIL maximum 0.8 V.
5 OUT B output MOSFET driver output B is a low-impedance CMOS push-pull output whose pull-up and pull-down devices have equal strength, giving equal rise and fall times.
6 VDD power_in Bias supply input for the MOSFET driver, rated 4.5 V to 18 V with respect to GND, and should be bypassed with local ceramic capacitors (1.0 µF suggested).
7 OUT A output MOSFET driver output A is a low-impedance CMOS push-pull output whose pull-up and pull-down devices have equal strength, giving equal rise and fall times.
8 NC unconnected No connection; the datasheet specifies no electrical function for this pin.
