DESCRIPTION
The U8C3525 is an 8-Bit Serial-In Parallel-Out driver with
Error Detection to the solenoid valve drive. The device
incorporates shift registers, data latches, and constant current
circuitry on the silicon CMOS chip. The maximum output current
value of one channel is Approximately limited to 250mA by
Built-in constant current source.
The U8C3525 has two power supplies, VDD provides power to
Internal control and communication modules. The range of VDD is
5V to 18V. PVDD is used to absorb the inductive coil
reverse-phase current and the range of PVDD is 5V to 35V.
Its built-in open/short detection circuits help users detect Load
state of the detection channels. System retrieve the error
messages to indicate which channel has failure by serial output
data.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The U8C3525 is an 8-Bit Serial-In Parallel-Out driver for Solenoid valve. The state of outputs Drain0 ~ Drain7 are
controlled by the latch data Q20~Q27 and OE signal. When OE is high, if a channel corresponding data latch is 1,
then the channel output is turned on, the switch from the output terminal to ground in the ON state.
U8C3525’s constant current technology make The maximum output current limited to around 250mA,which can
effectively prevent the chip or peripheral devices from damaging caused by load short. If a channel corresponding
data latch is 0, the output channel is switched off, in a high impedance state. When OE is low, no matter what the
value of the latch data, the output channels are turned off. It can withstand high voltage above 35V when the outputs
are turned off.

OPEN/SHORT DETECTION
The result of open/short detection of U8C3525 could be retrieved from serial-out (DAO) data. Once the load of a
channel in Open state or short state, the chip can be detected in time and quickly Shutdown the load shorted
channel which the chip from can overheating and external load. The test results stored to the shift register when OE
Falling edge .It can be removed from SDO end of the serial at SCLK action reading back to the controller.
The controller will read back the data before sending out now Control data for comparison, if exactly the same, it
means the load in good condition, no open short circuit, if a bit of data sent out is 1, 0 read back ,it indicates that the
corresponding channel bit data load short circuit occurs, if a bit of data to send out is 0, 1 read back, the table Shows
the bit data corresponding to the channel occurred Open load.
