Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced its FDMS2380, which is an intelligent, dual-independent channel, low-side driver with built-in recirculation and demagnetization circuits designed specifically for driving inductive loads. Other features include overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature circuits to protect the device as well as a diagnostics feedback pin. The FDMS2380 is packaged in a 8 mm x 12 mm PQFN package.

Key features of the FDMS2380 independent dual channels in PQFN packaging provides greater functionality in less board space than competing single channel and discrete solutions, a diagnostic signal provides enhanced fault handling and protection. built-in overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature diagnostics prevent device failure.

The FDMS2380 uses lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and has been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. The device meets the requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS).

Samples are available. The price is $7.00 each, in 1000 piece quantities; delivery is 8-10 weeks.
