SUPPLY BYPASSING
requires large currents. For example, charging a 1000-pF
load to18V in 25nsec requires an 0.72A current from the
device power supply.
quency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recom-
mended for supply bypassing. Low-inductance ceramic
disk capacitors with short lead lengths (< 0.5 in.) should be
used. A 1 F film capacitor in parallel with one or two
0.1 F ceramic disk capacitors normally provides adequate
bypassing.
GROUNDING
potential drops developed in common ground impedances
from input to output will appear as negative feedback and
degrade switching speed characteristics.
circuits or a ground plane should be used.
INPUT STAGE
cent supply current. The N-channel MOSFET input stage
transistor drives a 2.5mA current source load. With a logic
"1" input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 8 mA.
Logic "0" input level signals reduce quiescent current to
0.4 mA maximum. Minimum power dissipation occurs for
logic "0" inputs for the TC426/427/428. Unused driver
inputs must be connected to V
This provides clean transitions and minimizes output stage
current spiking when changing states. Input voltage thresh-
olds are approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL com-
patible over the 4.5V to 18V supply operating range. Input
current is less than 1 A over this range.

POWER DISSIPATION
capacitive load characteristic curves will aid in determining
power dissipation calculations.

MOSFETS as one device is turning "ON" while the other is
turning "OFF". The current spike flows only during output
transitions. The input levels should not be maintained be-
tween the logic "0" and logic "1" levels. Unused driver
inputs must be tied to ground and not be allowed to
float. Average power dissipation will be reduced by mini-
mizing input rise times. As shown in the characteristic
curves, average supply current is frequency dependent.
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
effect device reliability.
