DS3680 Quad Negative Voltage Relay Driver
The driver outputs incorporate transient suppression clamp
networks, which eliminate the need for external networks
when used in applications of switching inductive loads. A
a
fail-safe feature is incorporated to insure that, if the IN
input or both inputs are open, the driver will be OFF.
General Description
The DS3680 is a quad high voltage negative relay driver
designed to operate over wide ranges of supply voltage,
common-mode voltage, and ambient temperature, with
50 mA sink capability. These drivers are intended for switch-
ing the ground end of loads which are directly connected to
the negative supply, such as in telephone relay systems.

common-mode range ( 20V referenced to negative supply

from the other drivers in the package, which pemits input
signals from more than one element of the system.

Built-in output clamp diode
With low differential input current requirements (typically
100 mA), these drivers are compatible with TTL, LS and
CMOS logic. Differential inputs permit either inverting or
non-inverting operation.
