Dual MOSFET driver — still in active production
The TSC428CPA-2 is a dual power MOSFET driver from TelCom Semiconductor, designed to drive the gate capacitance of two independent N-channel or P-channel power MOSFETs. It is a straightforward, non-inverting driver suited for switch-mode power supplies, motor controllers, and class-D audio amplifiers where a clean, high-current gate drive signal is needed.
RoHS non-compliance — a BOM-level decision
The TSC428CPA-2 is listed as RoHS non-compliant. This is a hard requirement for any design targeting EU RoHS exemption-free markets. If your BOM mandates full RoHS compliance, this part will not pass an audit. For legacy designs, military/aerospace programs with leaded solder exemptions, or prototype runs where compliance is not enforced, the non-compliant status is irrelevant.
For high-volume pick-and-place, Bulk requires manual tube feeding or a tube feeder; it is not a reel-ready format.
