DESCRIPTIO N
This four-diod e array is designed for general purpose use as individual
diodes or as a high-speed, high-current bridge. It is particularly useful on
the outputs of high-speed power MOSFET drivers where Schottky diodes
are neede d to clamp any ne gative excursi ons caused by ringing on the
driven line.
These diodes are also ideally suited for use as voltage clamps when driv ing inductive loads such as relays and solenoids, and to provide a path
for current free-wheeling in motor drive applications.
The use of Schottky diode technology fea tures high efficiency through
lowered forward voltage drop and decreased reverse recovery time.
This single monolithic chip is fabricated in both hermetic CERDIP and
copper-leaded p lasti c packa ges. The U C1611 in ceramic is desig ned for
-55°C to +1 25°C envi ronments bu t with redu ced p eak cu rrent cap abil ity:
while the UC3611 in plastic has higher current rating over a 0°C to +70°C
ambient temperature range.
