2-A/2-A dual-channel gate driver with internal regulator

The TPS28xx series of dual high-speed MOSFET drivers are capable of delivering peak currents of 2 A into highly capacitive loads. This performance is achieved with a design that inherently minimizes shoot-through current and consumes an order of magnitude less supply current than competitive products.

The TPS2811, TPS2812, and TPS2813 drivers include a regulator to allow operation with supply inputs between 14 V and 40 V. The regulator output can power other circuitry, provided power dissipation does not exceed package limitations. When the regulator is not required, REGIN and REGOUT can be left disconnected or both can be connected to VCC or GND.

The TPS2814 and the TPS2815 have 2-input gates that give the user greater flexibility in controlling the MOSFET. The TPS2814 has AND input gates with one inverting input. The TPS2815 has dual-input NAND gates.

TPS28xx series drivers, available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP packages operate over a ambient temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
