8-channel high current driver
BA6212
The BA6212 is a monolithic IC including 8 circuits and capable of high current drive. Capable of using a current as
high as 400mA, it has a strobe pin, and is thus ideal for use as a driver circuit in thermal printers. Its input can be
directly coupled to CMOS devices.
•
Applications
Thermal printers
Motors
Relays
LEDs and other drivers
•
Features
1) High current drive capability of 400mA (Max).
2) 8 circuits included.
3) Equipped with a strobe pin.
4) Easy installation due to inputs and outputs being
aligned in the same direction.
5) Input can be directly connected to CMOS devices.
