SANYO Electric Co.,Ltd. Semiconductor Company
TOKYO OFFICE Tokyo Bldg., 1-10, 1 Chome, Ueno, Taito-ku, TOKYO, 110-8534 JAPAN
Overview
The LB1741 is a high-current Darlington-pair transistor
array that incorporates output clamp diodes, making it ideal
for driving inductive loads.
The LB1741 with active-HIGH, 10.5kΩ impedance inputs
interfaces directly to P-MOS or CMOS logic. With an input voltage of –0.5 to 30V (max), outputs can sink 500mA
(max) per channel and have 50V (max) output withstand
voltage.
The LB1741 is available in 18-pin DIPs.
Features
• Output clamp diodes.
