Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximu Ratings" may cause permanent dmage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operation sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

The TC4420M/TC4429M are 6A (peak), single-output MOSFET drivers. The TC4429M is an inverting driver (pin-compatible with the TC429M), while the TC4420M is a non-inverting driver. These drivers are fabricated in CMOS for lower power and more efficient operation versus bipolar drivers.

Both devices have TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs,  + 0.3V or as low as which can be driven as high as V_DD -5V without upset or damage to the device. This eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry and its associated cost and size. The output swing is rail-to-rail, ensuring better drive voltage margin, especially during power-up/power-down sequencing. The propagational delay time is only 55ns (typ.), while the output rise and fall times are only 25ns (typ.) into 2500pF across the usable power supply range.

Unlike other drivers, the TC4420M/TC4429M are virtually latch-up proof. They replace three or more discrete components, saving PCB area and parts while improving overall system reliability.
