8-CHANNEL SOURCE DRIVER
WITH OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION
Providing over-current protection for each of its eight sourcing
outputs, the UDN2987A and UDN2987LW drivers are used as an
interface between standard low-level logic and relays, motors, sole-
noids, LEDs, and incandescent lamps. The device includes thermal
shutdown and output transient protection/clamp diodes for use with
sustaining voltages to 35 V.
In these drivers, each channel includes a latch to turn OFF that
channel if the maximum channel current is exceeded. All channels are
disabled if the thermal shutdown is activated. A common FAULT
output is used to indicate either chip thermal shutdown or any over-
current condition. All outputs are enabled by pulling the common OE/
R input high. When OE/R is low, all outputs are inhibited and the eight
latches are reset.
Under normal operating conditions, each of eight outputs will
source in excess of 100 mA continuously at an ambient temperature of
25°C and a supply of 35 V. The over-current fault circuit will protect
the device from short-circuits to ground with supply voltages of up to
35 V.
The inputs are compatible with 5 V and 12 V logic systems—TTL,
Schottky TTL, DTL, PMOS, and CMOS. In all cases, the output is
switched ON by an active high input level. The UDN2987A is supplied
in a 20-pin dual in-line plastic package; the UDN2987LW is supplied in
a 20-lead small-outline plastic package.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
AND CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
As with all power integrated circuits, the UDN2987A
and UDN2987LW have a maximum allowable output
current rating. The 500 mA rating does not imply that
operation at that value is permitted or even obtainable.
The channel output current trip point is specified as -370
mA, minimum; therefore, attempted operation at current
levels greater than -370 mA may cause a fault indication
and channel shutdown. The device is tested at a maxi-
mum of -350 mA and that is the recommended maximum
output current per driver. It provides protection for current
overloads or shorted loads up to 35 V.
All outputs are enabled by pulling the OE/R input high.
When OE/R is low or allowed to float (internal pull-down),
all outputs are inhibited and the latches are reset. Note
that the RESET pulse duration (OE/R low) should be
at least 1
µs.
This will ensure safe operation under
attempted RESET conditions with a shorted load. The
latches are also reset during power up, regardless of the
state of the OE/R input.
The load current causes a small voltage drop across
the internal low-value sense resistor. This voltage is
compared to the voltage drop across a reference resistor
with a constant current. The two resistors are matched to
eliminate errors due to manufacturing tolerances or
temperature effects. Each channel includes a comparator
and its own latch. An over-current fault (V
SENSE
> V
REF
)
will set the affected latch and shut down only that channel.
All other channels will continue to operate normally. The
latch includes a 1
µs
delay (t
d
) to prevent unwanted
triggering due to crossover currents generated when
switching inductive loads. For an abrupt short circuit, the
delay and output switching times will allow a brief,
permissable current in excess of the trip current before the
output driver is turned OFF.
A common thermal shutdown disables all outputs
if the chip temperature exceeds +165°C. At thermal
shutdown, all latches are reset. The outputs are disabled
until the chip cools down to about +150°C (thermal
hysteresis).
A common open-collector FAULT output is used to
indicate any channel over-current condition or chip
thermal shutdown.
