New Members of the SPIDER Low-Side Relay Driver Family

Application diagram

Available in a very small package, three new SPIDER products offer complete pin and software compatibility plus R_DS(on) scability. Especially designed for driving inductive (relay) resistive loads and small LEDs, they provide high flexibility and fast development cycles for modular and cost-optimized design.
A limp home pin (LHI) means that dedicated channels can be driven even in fail-safe mode.

Smallest smart 8-channel relay driver in the market (‘DSO14 body size’) Limp home pin (fail-safe µC mode) 4 input pins providing flexible PWM configuration Daisy chain capability, also compatible with 8-bit SPI devices
