UC2950 Half-Bridge Bipolar Switch FEATURES DESCRIPTION • Source or Sink 4.0A • Supply Voltage to 35V • High-Current Output Diodes • Tri-State Operation This device is a monolithic integrated circuit designed 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 built-in interlock will keep the sink off if the source is on. • TTL and CMOS Input Compatibility • Thermal Shutdown Protection • 300kHz Operation • Low-Cost TO-220 Package 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, bipolar motor driver compatible with high frequency chopper current control.
