General Description
The TC4421A/TC4422A are improved versions of the earlier TC4421/TC4422 family of single-output MOSFET drivers. These devices are high-current buffer/drivers capable of driving large MOSFETs and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). The TC4421A/TC4422A have matched output rise and fall times, as well as matched leading and falling-edge propagation delay times. The TC4421A/TC4422A devices also have very low cross-conduction current, reducing the overall power dissipation of the device.
