Features

• 8 Independent Channels: Provides eight independent Darlington transistor pairs, enabling control of multiple loads simultaneously.
• High-Current Sinking: Each output channel can sink significant current (up to 500mA per channel), making it suitable for driving high-power loads like motors and solenoids.
• Darlington Transistor Configuration: Each channel features a Darlington pair, providing high current gain and ensuring that the input logic signal can control larger currents effectively.
• Built-in Protection Diodes: The IC includes internal diodes for protection against voltage spikes generated by inductive loads such as motors and relays.
• Low Saturation Voltage: Provides low saturation voltage, minimizing power loss during operation.
• Thermal Shutdown: Integrated thermal protection prevents the IC from overheating in high-load conditions.
• Overcurrent Protection: Ensures the IC and connected components are protected from excessive current.
• Compact SMD Package: The SMD form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained applications, reducing the footprint on the PCB.
• Logic-Level Inputs: Interfaces easily with standard logic-level control signals, such as those from microcontrollers or digital control circuits.
