Microchip MOSFET Gate Driver 4 Outputs 1.2 A 14-Pin PDIP 20V TC4468CPD

Microchip TC4468CPD is a high-performance MOSFET Gate Driver IC designed specifically for driving four low-side MOSFETs with a peak output current of 1.2 Amps. Encapsulated in a 14-pin PDIP package, it supports through-hole mounting making it ideal for industrial and power management applications.

This driver operates effectively over a voltage supply range from 4.5 V minimum to a maximum of 20 V, with the nominal operating range between 4.5 V and 18 V. It boasts symmetrical rise and fall times of 25 nanoseconds, enabling fast and reliable switching performance. The short and equal delay times of approximately 75 nanoseconds improve timing precision in complex circuits.

The TC4468CPD features two AND logic input gates per output, offering logic-level compatibility and versatility in signal control. Its latchproof design allows it to withstand up to 500mA of inductive kickback current, protecting the device from transient electrical spikes commonly found in industrial environments. Additionally, the 2 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all pins ensures enhanced durability and robustness in harsh electrical conditions.

The device is rated to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius, suited for typical industrial ambient conditions. Physically, it measures 19.05 mm in length, 6.35 mm in width, and 3.3 mm in height, matching the PDIP through-hole package standard for easy integration on printed circuit boards.
