DESCRIPTION

The L601, L602, L603 and L604 are high voltage,

high current darlington arrays each containing

eight open collector darlington pairs with common

emitters. Each channel is rated at 400 mA and can

with stand peak currents of 500 mA. Suppression

diodes are included for inductive load driving and

the inputs are pinned opposite the outputs to sim-

plify board layout.
