Providing interface between low-level logic and power loads, the
UDK/UDN/UDQ2547B and UDK/UDN/UDQ2547EB quad power
drivers combine logic gates and high-current bipolar outputs with
complete output protection. Each of the four outputs will sink 600 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 and include internal
pull-down resistors to ensure that the outputs remain OFF if the inputs
are open-circuited.
Over-current protection for each channel has been designed into
these devices and is activated at approximately 1.3 A. It protects each
output from short circuits with supply voltages up to 25 V. When a
maximum driver output current is reached, that output drive is reduced
linearly, maintaining a constant load current. If the over-current or
short circuit condition continues, each channel has an independent
thermal limit circuit which will sense the rise in junction temperature
and turn OFF the individual channel that is at fault. Foldback circuitry
decreases the output current if excessive voltage is present across the
output and assists in keeping the device within its SOA (safe operating
area).

Each output also includes diagnostics for increased device protection. If any output is shorted or opened, the diagnostics can signal the
controlling circuitry through a common FAULT pin.
These devices can be used to drive various resistive loads including incandescent lamps (without warming or limiting resistors). With
the addition of external output clamp diodes, they can be used to drive
inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, or dc stepping motors.
The suffix ‘B’ devices are 16-pin power DIPs while the suffix ‘EB’
devices are 28-lead power PLCCs for surface-mount applications.
Both packages are of batwing construction to provide for maximum
package power dissipation.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
These devices monitor their outputs for open or shorted conditions.
Both conditions are sensed by comparing the input and output states.
Note that the FAULT output is operational only if the ENABLE input is
high. When a fault condition is sensed, the FAULT output will go to a
low state. An external FAULT output filter capacitor (0.1µF) is recommended to eliminate erroneous switching.
INCANDESCENT LAMP DRIVER
High incandescent lamp turn-ON/in-rush currents can contribute to
poor lamp reliability and destroy semiconductor lamp drivers.

TIME
Dwg. WP-005A
Warming (parallel) or current-limiting (series) resistors protect both
driver and lamp but use significant power either when the lamp is OFF
or when the lamp is ON, respectively. Lamps with steady-state current
ratings up to 600 mA can be driven without the need for warming or
current-limiting resistors, if lamp turn-ON time is not a concern.
When an incandescent lamp is initially turned ON, the cold filament
is at minimum resistance and would normally allow a 10x to 12x in-rush
current. With these drivers, during turn-ON, the high in-rush current is
sensed by the internal low-value sense resistor, drive current to the
output stage is diverted by the shunting transistor, the output stage
operates in a linear mode, and the load current is limited to approximately 1.3 A. During lamp warmup, the filament resistance increases
to its maximum value, the output driver goes into saturation and applies
maximum rated voltage to the lamp.
INDUCTIVE LOAD DRIVER
With the addition of external clamp diodes, bifilar (unipolar)
stepper motors and other inductive loads can be driven directly.
The external diodes prevent damage to the output transistors by
suppressing the high-voltage spikes that occur when turning
OFF an inductive load. For rapid current decay (fast turn-OFF speeds),
the use of Zener diodes will raise the flyback voltage and improve
performance. However, the peak voltage must not exceed the specified minimum sustaining voltage (V
+ VZ + VF ≤ V
SUPPLY
OUT(SUS)
).
OVER-CURRENT CONDITIONS
In the event of a shorted load, or stalled motor, the load current
will attempt to increase. As described above, the drive current to the
affected output stage is linearly reduced (limiting the load current to
about 1.3 A), causing the output stage to go linear. As the junction
temperature of the output stage increases, the thermal shutdown circuit
will shut OFF the affected output. If the fault condition is corrected, the
output driver will return to its normal saturated condition.
