2962
Using PWM to minimize power dissipation and maximize load
efficiency, the UDN2962W dual driver is recommended for impact
printer solenoids and stepper motors. It is comprised of two source/
sink driver pairs rated for continuous operation to
±3
A. It can be
connected to drive two independent loads or a single load in the full-
bridge configuration. Both drivers include output clamp/flyback
diodes, input gain and level shifting, a voltage regulator for single-
supply operation, and pulse-width modulated output-current control
circuitry. Inputs are compatible with most TTL, DTL, LSTTL, and
low-voltage CMOS or PMOS logic.

The peak output current and hysteresis for each source/sink pair is
set independently. Output current, threshold voltage, and hysteresis are
set by the user’s selection of external resistors. At the specified output-
current trip level, the source driver turns off. The internal clamp diode
then allows current to flow without additional input from the power
supply. When the lower current trip point is reached, the source driver
turns back on.
The UDN2962W is in a 12-pin single in-line power-tab package.
The tab is at ground potential and needs no insulation. For high-
current or high-frequency applications, external heat sinking may be
required.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
AND APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The UDN2962W high-current driver is intended for use as a
free-running, pulse-width modulated solenoid driver.
Circuit Description.
In operation, the source and sink drivers are
both turned on by a low level at the input. The load current rises with
time as a function of the load inductance, total circuit resistance, and
supply voltage and is sensed by the external sense resistor (R
S
).
When the load current reaches the trip point (I
TRIP
), the comparator
output goes high and turns off the source driver. The actual load
current will peak slightly higher than I
TRIP
because of the internal logic
and switching delays.
After the source driver is turned off, the load current continues to
circulate through the sink driver and an internal ground clamp diode.
The rate of current decay is a function of the load inductance and total
circuit resistance.
An internal constant current sink reduces the trip point (hysteresis)
until the decaying load current reaches the lower threshold, when the
comparator output goes low and the source driver is again turned on.
Load current is again allowed to rise to the trip point and the cycle
repeats.
Maximum load current and hysteresis is determined by the user.

Trip
current (I

Circuit Layout.
To prevent interaction
between channels, each of the two high-level
power ground returns (the low side of the
sense resistors) must be returned independ-
ently to the low-level signal ground (pin 1).
The circuit common (pin 1) can then be
routed to the system ground.
The printed wiring board should utilize a
heavy ground plane. For optimum perform-
ance, the driver should be soldered directly
into the board.
The power supply (V
CC
) should be
decoupled with an electrolytic capacitor
(≥10
µF)
as close as possible to pin 7.

NOTE: Each of the drivers includes an internal logic delay to prevent
potentially destructive crossover currents within the driver during phase
changes. However, never simultaneously enable both inputs in the full-
bridge configurations: A destructive short-circuit to ground will result.
