The UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW latched-input BiMOS ICs merge high-current, high-voltage outputs with CMOS logic. The CMOS input section consists of 4 or 8 data ('D' type) latches with associated common CLEAR, STROBE, and OUTPUT ENABLE= circuitry. The power outputs are bipolar npn Darlingtons. This merged technology provides versatile, flexible interface. These BiMOS power interface ICs greatly benefit the simplification of computer or microprocessor I/O. The UCN5800A and UCN5800L each contain four latched drivers; the UCN5801A, UCN5801EP, and UCN5801LW contain eight latched drivers.

The UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW supersede the original BiMOS latched-input driver ICs (UCN4400A and UCN4801A). These second-generation devices are capable of much higher data input rates and will typically operate at better than 5 MHz with a 5 V logic supply. Circuit operation at 12 V affords substantial improvement over the 5 MHz figure.

The CMOS inputs of UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW are compatible with standard CMOS and NMOS circuits. TTL circuits may mandate the addition of input pull-up resistors.The bipolar Darlington outputs of UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW are suitable for directly driving many peripheral/power loads: relays, lamps, solenoids, small dc motors, etc.

UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW have open-collector outputs and integral diodes for inductive load transient suppression. The output transistors are capable of sinking 500 mA and will withstand at least 50 V in the OFF state. Because of limitations on package power dissipation, the simultaneous operation of all drivers at maximum rated current can only be accomplished by a reduction in duty cycle. Outputs of UCN5800A/L and UCN5801A/EP/LW may be paralleled for higher load current capability.

The UCN5800A is furnished in a standard 14-pin DIP; the UCN5800L and UCN5801LW in surface-mountable SOICs; the UCN5801A in a 22-pin DIP with 0.400" (10.16 mm) row centers; the UCN5801EP in a 28-lead PLCC.
