The DS3668 quad peripheral driver is designed for those
applications where low operating power, high breakdown
voltage, high output current and low output ON voltage are
required. Unlike most peripheral drivers available, a unique
fault protection circuit is incorporated on each output. When
the load current exceeds 1.0A (approximately) on any output for more than a built-in delay time, nominally 12 ms, that
output will be shut off by its protection circuitry with no effect
on other outputs. This condition will prevail until that protection circuitry is reset by toggling the corresponding input or
the enable pin low for at least 1.0 ms. This built-in delay is
provided to ensure that the protection circuitry is not triggered by turn-on surge currents associated with certain
kinds of loads.
The DS3668’s inputs combine TTL compatibility with high
input impedance. In fact, its extreme low input current allows it to be driven directly by a MOS device. The outputs
are capable of sinking 600 mA each and offer a 70V breakdown. However, for inductive loads the output should be
clamped to 35V or less to avoid latch up during turn off
(inductive fly-back protection Ð refer AN-213). An on-chip
clamp diode capable of handling 800 mA is provided at
each output for this purpose. In addition, the DS3668 incorporates circuitry that guarantees glitch-free power up or
down operation and a fail-safe feature which puts the output
in a high impedance state when the input is open.
The molded package is specifically constructed to allow increased power dissipation over conventional packages. The
four ground pins are directly connected to the device chip
with a special copper lead frame. When the quad driver is
soldered into a PC board, the power rating of the device
improves significantly.
