DESCRIPTION
The L6450 is realized in Multipower BCD Tech-
nology which combines isolated DMOS power
transistors with CMOS and Bipolar circuits on the
same IC. By using mixed technology it has been
possible to optimize the logic circuitry and the
power stage to achievethe best possible perform-
ances.
Intended to be used in ink jet Printer Applications
as 4 to 28 (2 x 14) or 3 to 28 (4 x 7) lines select-
able decoder/driver, the L6450 device driver has
the advantages of low power CMOS inputs and
logic, with 28 high current and high voltage
DMOS outputs capable of sustaining a maximum
of 40V.
On system power up the outputdrivers are locked
out using the chip enable function; four enable in-
puts are available for the different driver banks.
An internal power-on system is implemented in
order to avoid wrong output commutation during
the supply voltage transients.
Using a mask option during manufacturing allows
a differentdecoding.
Control of the energy delivered to the print head
is made by means of a specialcircuitry.
All driver outputs are capable of withdstanding a
contactdischargeof
±
8KV with the IC biased.
