NTE2015

NTE2011/NTE2012/NTE2013/NTE2014/NTE2015 Integrated Circuit 7–Channel Darlington Array/Driver Description: The NTE2011 through NTE2015 are high–voltage, high–current Darlington arrays in a 16–Lead DIP type package and are comprised of seven silicon NPN Darlington pairs on a common monolithic substrate. All units have open–collector outputs and integral diodes for inductive load transient suppression. Peak inrush currents to 600mA (NTE2011, NTE2013, NTE2014) or 750mA (NTE2012, NTE2015) are permissible, making them ideal for driving tungstun filament lamps. The NTE2011 is a general purpose array that may be used with standard bi–polar digital logic using external current limiting, or with most PMOS or CMOS directly. This device is pinned with outputs opposite inputs to facilitate printed wiring board layouts. The NTE2012 is designed for use with 14V to 25V PMOS devices. Each input has a Zener diode and resistor in series to limit the input current to a safe value in that application. The Zener diode also gives this device excellent noise immunity. The NTE2013 has a 2.7kΩ series base resistor for each Darlington pair, allowing operation directly with TTL or CMOS operating at a supply voltage of 5V. This device will handle numerous interface needs – particularly those beyond the capabilities of standard logic buffers. The NTE2014 has a 10.5kΩ series input resistor that permits operation directly from CMOS or PMOS outputs utilizing supply voltages of 6V to 15V. The required input c...
