33879A
The 33879 device is an 8-output hardware configurable, high side/
low side switch with 16-bit serial input control using the serial peripheral
interface (SPI). Two of the outputs may be controlled directly via a
microcontroller for pulse-width modulation (PWM) applications. The
33879 incorporates SMARTMOS technology, with CMOS logic,
bipolar/MOS analog circuitry, and DMOS power MOSFETs. The 33879
controls various inductive, incandescent, or LED loads by directly
interfacing with a microcontroller. The circuit’s innovative monitoring
and protection features include very low standby currents, cascade
fault reporting, internal +45 V clamp voltage for low side configuration,
-20 V high side configuration, output specific diagnostics, and
independent over-temperature protection.
