August 1998 Quad-Gated Inverting Power Driver For Interfacing Low-Level Logic to High Current Load Description The CA3242 quad-gated inverting power driver contains four gate switches for interfacing low-level logic to inductive and resistive loads such as: relays, solenoids, AC and DC motors, heaters, incandescent displays, and vacuum fluorescent displays. Output overload protection is provided when the load current (approximately 1.2A) causes the output VCE(sat) to rise above 1.3V. A built-in time delay, nominally 25µs, is provided during output turn-on as output drops from VDD to VSAT. That output will be shut down by its protection network without affecting the other outputs....
