NSC DS3668

DS3668 Quad Fault Protected Peripheral Driver
General Description
Applications
The DS3668 quad peripheral driver is designed for those
applications where low operating power, high breakdown
voltage, high output current and low output ON voltage are
required. Unlike most peripheral drivers available, a unique
fault protection circuit is incorporated on each output. When
the load current exceeds 1.0A (approximately) on any output for more than a built-in delay time, nominally 12 ms, that
output will be shut off by its protection circuitry with no effect
on other outputs. This condition will prevail until that protection circuitry is reset by toggling the corresponding input or
the enable pin low for at least 1.0 ms. This built-in delay is
provided to ensure that the protection circuitry is not triggered by turn-on surge currents associated with certain
kinds of loads.
The DS3668’s inputs combine TTL compatibility with high
input impedance. In fact, its extreme low input current allows it to be driven directly by a MOS device. The outputs
are capable of sinking 600 mA each and offer a 70V breakdown. However, for inductive loads the output should be
clamped to 35V or less to avoid latch up during turn off
(inductive fly-back protection Ð refer AN-213). An on-chip
clamp diode capable of handling 800 mA is provided at
each output for this purpose. In addition, the DS3668 incorporates circuitry that guarantees glitch-free power up or
down operation and a fail-safe feature which puts the output
in a high impedance state when the input is open.
The molded package is specifically constructed to allow increased power dissipation over conventional packages. The
four ground pins are directly connected to the device chip
with a special copper lead frame. When the quad driver is
soldered into a PC board, the power rating of the device
improves significantly.

Note 1: ‘‘Absolute Maximum Ratings’’ are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the device
should be operated at these limits. The table of ‘‘Electrical Characteristics’’ provides conditions for actual device operation.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, min/max limits apply across the 0§ C to a 70§ C temperature range and the 4.75V to 5.25V power supply range. All typical
values are for TA e 25§ C and VCC e 5.0V.
Note 3: All currents into device pins are shown as positive; all currents out of device pins are shown as negative; all voltages are referenced to ground, unless
otherwise specified. All values shown as max or min are so classified on absolute value basis.
Note 4: All sections of this quad circuit may conduct rated current simultaneously; however, power dissipation averaged over a short interval of time must fall within
specified continuous dissipation ratings.
