UC2950
Half-Bridge Bipolar Switch
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Source or Sink 4.0A
This device is a monolithic integrated circuit designed to provide
high-current switching with low saturation voltages when activated by
low-level logic signals. Source and sink switches may be independently acti-
vated without regard to timing as a built-in interlock will keep the sink off if
the source is on.
• Supply Voltage to 35V
• High-Current Output Diodes
• Tri-State Operation
This driver has the high current capability to drive large capacitive loads
with fast rise and fall times; but with high-speed internal flyback diodes, it is
also ideal for inductive loads. Two UC2950s can be used together to form a
full bridge, bipolar motor driver compatible with high frequency chopper cur-
rent control.
• TTL and CMOS Input Compatibility
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
• 300kHz Operation
• Low-Cost TO-220 Package
