DESCRIPTION
This four-diode array is designed for general
purpose use as individual diodes or as a
high-speed, high-current bridge. It is particularly
useful on the outputs of high-speed power
MOSFET drivers where Schottky diodes are
needed to clamp any negative excursions caused
by ringing on the driven line.These diodes are also
ideally suited for use as voltage clamps when
driving inductive loads such as relays and
solenoids, and to provide a path for current
free-wheeling in motor drive applications.The use
of Schottky diode technology features high
efficiency through lowered forward voltage drop
and decreased reverse recovery time.This single
monolithic chip is fabricated in both hermetic
CERDIP and copper-eaded plastic packages.
The UC1611 in ceramic is designed for –55°C to
125°C environments but with reduced peak
current capability: while the UC3611 in plastic has
higher current rating over a 0°C to 70°C ambient
temperature range.
