Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels does SN75468N-A provide, and what are the per-channel voltage and current ratings?
The SN75468N-A contains 7 independent NPN Darlington transistor pairs, each rated for 100 V collector-emitter voltage and 500 mA continuous collector current. This allows simultaneous driving of 7 relay coils, stepper motor phases, or other inductive loads directly from a single 16-pin DIP device.
Does the SN75468N-A include protection for inductive loads, and how does this affect relay driver circuit design?
Yes, the SN75468N-A includes integrated flyback suppression diodes on each of its 7 outputs, connected to a common cathode pin. These diodes clamp the back-EMF voltage spike when inductive loads such as relay coils or solenoids are switched off, eliminating the need for 7 external diodes and simplifying PCB design.
When would a designer select the SN75468N-A Darlington array instead of discrete MOSFETs for a relay driver?
The SN75468N-A is preferred when a designer needs to drive 7 relays simultaneously from TTL or CMOS logic with minimal external components, since each Darlington pair provides high current gain and the integrated 100 V, 500 mA rating covers most 5 V to 24 V relay coil specifications. Discrete MOSFETs require individual gate drivers and flyback diodes, increasing BOM count and PCB space.
