Texas Instruments Dual Peripheral Power Driver SOIC-8, 30V/400mA

The Texas Instruments Dual Peripheral Power Driver SOIC-8 is a dual power driver in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, rated for output voltages up to 30V and currents up to 400mA per channel. It interfaces between low-power logic circuits and higher-power peripheral devices.

Overview

This integrated circuit is engineered for high-current switching applications that demand speed and reliability. Its primary role is to interface between low-power logic circuits and higher-power peripheral devices, making it suitable for systems using TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels. The driver is characterised for operation with currents up to 300mA and can deliver output voltages as high as 30V, with a maximum output current rating of 400mA per channel.

Key Features

• Two independent channels
• Diode-clamped inputs that provide built-in protection and reduce the need for external components
• Immunity to output latch-up, including when subjected to 20V after conducting 300mA
• High-speed switching capability for applications where timing and signal integrity are critical

Specifications

• Package: 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit)
• Supply voltage range: 4.75V to 5.25V
• Output voltage: Up to 30V
• Output current: Up to 400mA per channel
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
• Weight: 0.152 gm

Applications

Typical uses include high-speed logic buffers, power drivers for motors and actuators, relay and solenoid drivers, lamp and LED drivers, MOS drivers, line drivers for communication interfaces, and memory and display drivers.

The Texas Instruments dual peripheral power driver is a practical choice where a compact SOIC-8 driver is needed to switch peripheral loads from logic-level signals.
