Texas Instruments SN75469

the sn75468 and sn75469 are monolithic high-voltage high-current darlington transistor arrays. each consists of seven npn darlington pairs that feature high-voltage outputs with common-cathode clamp diodes for switching inductive loads. the collector-current rating of each darlington pair is 500 ma. the darlington pairs may be paralleled for higher current capability. applications include relay drivers hammer drivers lamp drivers display drivers (led and gas discharge) line drivers and logic buffers. the sn75468 has a 2700- series base resistor to allow its operation directly with cmos or pmos that use supply voltages of 6 to 15 v. the required input current is below that of the sn75468.
