    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 TC4421M/TC4422M are high-current buffer/ drivers capable of driving large MOSFETs and IGBTs. They are essentially immune to any form of upset, except direct overvoltage or over-dissipation. They cannot be latched, under any conditions, within their power and voltage ratings. These parts are not subject to damage or improper operation when up to 5V of ground bounce is present on their ground terminals. They can accept, without damage or logic upset, more than 1A inductive current of either polarity being forced back into their outputs. In addition, all terminals are fully protected against up to 4kV of electrostatic discharge.

The TC4421M/TC4422M inputs may be driven directly from either TTL or CMOS (3V to 18V). In addition, 300mV of  hysteresis is built into the input, providing noise immunity and allowing the device to be driven from slowly rising or falling waveforms.
