2580, 2585, AND 2588
8-CHANNEL SOURCE DRIVERS
UDN2580A and UDN2585A
This versatile family of integrated circuits will work with many combinations of logic- and load-voltage levels, meeting interface requirements beyond the capabilities of standard logic buffers. Series UDN2580A and A2580SLW source drivers can drive incandescent, LED, or vacuum fluorescent displays. Internal transient-suppression diodes permit the drivers to be used with inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and stepping motors, and magnetic print hammers. The Types UDN2580A and A2580SLW are high-current source drivers used to switch the ground ends of loads that are directly connected to a -50 V supply. Typical loads are telephone relays, PIN diodes, and LEDs.
