The DS3669 is a non-inverting quad peripheral driver similar to the DS3658 These drivers are designed for those applications where low operating power high breakdown voltage high output current and low output ON voltage are required A unique input circuit combines TTL compatibility with high impedance In fact its extreme low input current allows it to be driven directly by a CMOS 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 refer AN-213) An onchip clamp diode capable of handling 800 mA is provided at each output for this purpose In addition the DS3669 incorporates circuitry that guarantees glitch-free power up or down operation
