This device is used to switch inductive loads such as relays, solenoids incandescent lamps and small DC motors without the need of a free¿wheeling diode. The device integrates all necessary items such as the MOSFET switch, ESD protection, and Zener clamps. It accepts logic level inputs thus allowing it to be driven by a large variety of devices including logic gates, inverters and microcontrollers.

• Provides a Robust Driver Interface between D.C. Relay Coil and Sensitive Logic Circuits
• Optimized to Switch Relays from 3.0 V to 5.0 V Rail
• Capable of Driving Relay Coils rated up to 2.5 W at5.0 V
• Internal Zener Eliminates the Need of Free-Wheeling Diode
• Internal Zener Clamp Routes Induced Current to Ground for Quieter Systems Operation
• Low VDS(on) Reduces System Current Drain
