The MAX4896 8-channel relay and load driver is designed for medium voltage applications up to 50V. This device is offered in a 20-pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN package, resulting in substantial board space savings. The MAX4896 8-channel relay driver offers built-in inductive kickback protection, drive for latching/ nonlatching or dual-coil relays, and open-load and short-circuit fault detection.The MAX4896 also protects against overcurrent conditions. Each independent open-drain output features a 3 (typ) on-resistance, and is guaranteed to sink 200mA of load current (VS 4.5V).
