Low output-saturation voltages at high load currents are provided by UDN2596A and UDN2597A sink driver ICs. These devices can be used as interface buffers between standard low-power digital logic (particularly MOS) and high-power loads such as relays, solenoids, stepping motors, and LED or incandescent displays. The eight saturated sink drivers in each device feature high-voltage, high-current open-collector outputs. Transient suppression clamp diodes and a minimum 35 V output sustaining voltage allow their use with many inductive loads.
