Working Principles

The TC4425EPA is a high-speed driver IC designed to efficiently drive MOSFETs and IGBTs. It operates by receiving an input control signal (IN) and generating corresponding high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) output signals. These output signals drive the gate of the power transistor, controlling its conduction state.

The driver IC incorporates protection features such as short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown. The short-circuit protection prevents excessive current flow during fault conditions, while the thermal shutdown protects the IC from overheating.
