Configurable Octal Serial Switch

with Open Load Detect Current

Disable

The 33879 device is an 8-output hardware configurable, high side/

low side switch with 16-bit serial input control. Two of the outputs may

be controlled directly via a microprocessor for PWM applications. The

33879 incorporates SMARTMOS technology, with CMOS logic,

bipolar/MOS analog circuitry, and DMOS power MOSFETs. The 33879

controls various inductive, incandescent, or LED loads by directly

interfacing with a microcontroller. The circuit’s innovative monitoring

and protection features include very low standby currents, cascade

fault reporting, internal +45 V clamp voltage for low side configuration,

-20 V high side configuration, output specific diagnostics, and

independent over-temperature protection.

Features

• 16-Bit SPI for control and fault reporting, 3.3 V/5.0 V compatible

• Outputs are current limited (0.6 A to 1.2 A) to drive incandescent

lamps

• Output voltage clamp, +45 V (Low Side) and -20 V (High Side)

during inductive switching

• On/Off control of open load detect current (LED application)

• Loss of ground or supply will not energize loads or damage IC

• Maximum 5.0

• Short-circuit detect and current limit with automatic retry

• Independent over-temperature protection

• Pb-free packaging designated by suffix code EK
