The AAHS298B-S-S20B-ENGR from Microchip Technology is a Source Driver that is ideal for relay/solenoid drivers, lamp/LED drivers, stepper and/or servo motor drivers, aerospace satellite manufacturers, and military power electronics control applications. It requires an input voltage of 10 - 50 V. This gate driver boasts a robust design, featuring 8 channels that are capable of delivering a current of 700 mA (per channel) and a voltage rating of 75 V, making it ideal for seamless interfacing with diverse control systems. It is designed to complement the LX7710 diode array and serves as an ideal companion for constructing redundant power switches. This driver connects with various devices, such as relays, motors, solenoids, and other loads, expanding its versatility in diverse applications. It fortifies reliability through integrated diodes in the outputs, guarding against transients and inductive kickback.
This driver incorporates a built-in thermal shutdown mechanism, ensuring protection in over-current situations and soft-start occurrences to enhance the overall durability of the system. It is radiation-tolerant, meeting minimum requirements of 100 krad (Si) TID and 50 krad (Si) ELDRS, as well as being resistant to single-event effects. This gate driver is available in a surface-mount package that measures 13.08 x 24 x 2.67 mm.
