DESCRIPTI ON

This device i s a mono lithic integrated circui t designe d to provide high-cur­rent switching with low saturation voltages when activated by low-level logic
signals. Source and sink switches may be independently activated without
regard to timing as a b uilt-in interl ock will keep the sin k off if the source is
on.

This driver has the high current capability to drive large capacitive loads
with fast rise and fall times; but with high-speed internal flyback diodes, it is
also ideal for inductive loads. Two UC2950s can be used together to form
a full bridge, bip olar motor driver compatible with high frequency chopper
current control.
