Allegro MicroSystems Inc. PMIC - Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers A6B259KA

The A6B259KA is an 8-bit addressable DMOS power driver designed for applications requiring control of medium-current or high-voltage loads, such as relays and solenoids. It features a 3-to-8 line CMOS decoder, data latches, and control circuitry, allowing it to function as a memory or demultiplexer. The device can sink up to 500 mA from its open-drain outputs and supports continuous output currents of 150 mA across all outputs simultaneously. It operates with a logic supply voltage of up to 7.0 V and has an output voltage clamp of 50 V. The A6B259KA is housed in a 20-pin dual in-line plastic package and is suitable for interfacing with microprocessor-based systems. However, it is important to note that this product is discontinued and should not be purchased for new design applications.
