General Description
The MCP1406/07 devices are a family of
buffers/MOSFET drivers that feature a single-output
with 6A peak drive current capability, low shoot-through
current, matched rise/fall times and propagation delay
times. These devices are pin-compatible and are
improved versions of the TC4420/TC4429 MOSFET
drivers.
The MCP1406/07 MOSFET drivers can easily charge
and discharge 2500 pF gate capacitance in under
20 ns, provide low enough impedances in both the on
and off states to ensure the MOSFETs intended state
will not be affected, even by large transients. The input
to the MCP1406/07 may be driven directly from either
TTL or CMOS (3V to 18V).
These devices are highly latch-up resistant under any
conditions within their power and voltage ratings. They
are not subject to damage when up to 5V of noise
spiking (of either polarity) occurs on the ground pin. All
terminals are fully protect against Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) up to 4 kV.
The MCP1406/07 single-output 6A MOSFET driver
family is offered in both surface-mount and pin-
through-hole packages with a -40°C to +125°C
temperature rating, making it useful in any wide
temperature range application.
