8-Channel Source Driver with Overcurrent Protections
UDN2987
Date of status change: April 28, 2006
These parts are no longer in production The device should not be
purchased for new design applications. Samples are no longer available.
Discontinued Product 8-CHANNEL SOURCE DRIVER
WITH OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION
Providing over-current protection for each of its eight sourcing
outputs, the UDN2987A and UDN2987LW drivers are used as an
interface between standard low-level logic and relays, motors, sole-
noids, LEDs, and incandescent lamps. The device includes thermal
shutdown and output transient protection/clamp diodes for use with
sustaining voltages to 35 V.
In these drivers, each channel includes a latch to turn OFF that
channel if the maximum channel current is exceeded. All channels are
disabled if the thermal shutdown is activated. A common FAULT
output is used to indicate either chip thermal shutdown or any over-
current condition. All outputs are enabled by pulling the common
OE/R input high. When OE/R is low, all outputs are inhibited and the
eight latches are reset.
Under normal operating conditions, each of eight outputs will
source in excess of 100 mA continuously at an ambient temperature of
25
°
C and a supply of 35 V. The over-current fault circuit will protect
the device from short-circuits to ground with supply voltages of up to
35 V.
The inputs are compatible with 5 V and 12 V logic systemsTTL,
Schottky TTL, DTL, PMOS, and CMOS. In all cases, the output is
switched ON by an active high input level. The UDN2987A is sup-
plied in a 20-pin dual in-line plastic package; the UDN2987LW is
supplied in a 20-lead small-outline plastic package.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
AND CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
As with all power integrated circuits, the UDN2987A
and UDN2987LW have a maximum allowable output
current rating. The 500 mA rating does not imply that
operation at that value is permitted or even obtainable.
The channel output current trip point is specified as -370
mA, minimum; therefore, attempted operation at current
levels greater than -370 mA may cause a fault indication
and channel shutdown. The device is tested at a maximum
of -350 mA and that is the recommended maximum output
current per driver. It provides protection for current
overloads or shorted loads up to 35 V.
All outputs are enabled by pulling the OE/R input
high. When OE/R is low or allowed to float (internal pull-
down), all outputs are inhibited and the latches are reset.
Note that the RESET pulse duration (OE/R low) should be
at least 1
µ
s. This will ensure safe operation under
attempted RESET conditions with a shorted load. The
latches are also reset during power up, regardless of the
state of the OE/R input.
The load current causes a small voltage drop across
the internal low-value sense resistor. This voltage is
compared to the voltage drop across a reference resistor
with a constant current. The two resistors are matched to
eliminate errors due to manufacturing tolerances or
temperature effects. Each channel includes a comparator
and its own latch. An over-current fault (V
SENSE
> V
REF
)
will set the affected latch and shut down only that channel.
All other channels will continue to operate normally. The
latch includes a 1
µ
s delay (t
d
) to prevent unwanted
triggering due to crossover currents generated when
switching inductive loads. For an abrupt short circuit, the
delay and output switching times will allow a brief,
permissable current in excess of the trip current before the
output driver is turned OFF.
A common thermal shutdown disables all outputs
if the chip temperature exceeds +165
°
C. At thermal
shutdown, all latches are reset. The outputs are disabled
until the chip cools down to about +150
°
C (thermal
hysteresis).
In the event of any channel over-current condition or
chip thermal shutdown, the FAULT open-collector output
is pulled low (turned ON).
