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
