LM1951 Solid State 1 Amp Switch
General Description
The LM1951 is a high current, high voltage, high side (PNP)
switch with a built-in error detection circuit.
The LM1951 is guaranteed to deliver 1 Amp output current
and is capable of withstanding up to
g
85V transients. The
built-in error detection provides an error flag output under
the following fault conditions: output short to ground or sup-
ply, open load, current limit, overvoltage or thermal shut-
down. The LM1951 will drive all types of resistive or induc-
tive loads. The output has a built-in negative voltage clamp
(
&
b
30V) to provide a quick energy discharge path for
inductive loads. The LM1951 features TTL and CMOS com-
patible logic input with hysteresis. Switching times, both turn
on and turn off, are 2
m
s (C

quiescent current in the OFF state is typically less than
0.1
m
A at room temperature and less than 10
m
A over the
entire operating temperature and voltage range.
The LM1951 features make it well suited for industrial and
automotive applications.
