Dual 1.5A low-side driver with mixed input polarity
The TC4428ACOA713 is a dual low-side MOSFET driver from Microchip Technology, each channel delivering 1.5 A peak source and sink current. One channel has an inverting input, the other non-inverting, so a single part handles both turn-on and turn-off logic from the same controller without an external inverter gate. It drives both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs, making it useful for half-bridge or synchronous rectifier stages where the high-side and low-side gates need different polarity drive signals.
Supply range and timing for the bench
The 25 ns typical rise and fall time into a 1 nF load means the switching losses stay low at moderate frequencies — figure the crossover time into your MOSFET's gate charge to estimate the actual switching loss at your operating point.
Package and sourcing fit
Housed in an 8-SOIC (150-mil body width), the TC4428ACOA713 is a straightforward hand-solder or reflow part. Microchip lists this as an Active part, ROHS3 compliant.
