DESCRIPTIO N
The L601, L602, L603 and L604 are high voltage,
high current darlington arrays each containing
eight open collector darlington pairs with common
L601 General purpose
L602 14 - 25 V PMOS
L603 5 V TTL
L604 6 - 15 V CMOS
emitters. Each channel is rated at 400 mA and can
with stand peak currents of 500 mA. Suppression
diodes are included for inductive load driving and
the inputs are pinned opposite the outputs to simplify board layout.
These versatile devices are useful for driving a wide
range of loads, including solenoids, relays DC motors, LED displays, filament lamps, thermal printheads and high power buffers.
