Description
Providing improved output current limiting, the UDK, UDN, and UDQ2559B, EB, and LB quad power drivers combine AND logic gates and high-current bipolar outputs with complete output protection. Each of the four outputs sink 700 mA in the on state. The outputs have a minimum breakdown voltage (load dump) of 60 V and a sustaining voltage of 40 V. The inputs are compatible with TTL and 5 V CMOS logic systems.
Overcurrent protection for each channel has been designed into these devices and is activated at approximately 1 A. It protects each output from short circuits with supply voltages up to 25 V. When an output current trip point is reached, that output stage is driven linearly resulting in a reduced output current level. If an over-current or short-circuit condition continues, the thermal-limiting circuits will first sense the rise in junction temperature and then the rise in chip temperature, further decreasing the output current. Under worst-case conditions, these devices will tolerate short circuits on all outputs, simult...
