DESCRIPTION
iC-DI is a monolithic interface iC with two independent switching channels which enables digital sensors to drive peripheral elements, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC) and relays, for example.

FEATURES
♦ Dual channel switches, configurable for high-side, low-side and push-pull operation
♦ Switches are current limited
♦ Push-pull operation with tristate function
♦ Output current of up to 100 mA per channel
♦ Parallel connection of both channels possible
♦ Channel 1 can be inverted (antivalent output)
♦ Wide supply voltage range of 9 to 30 V
♦ Sensor parameterisation via a feedback channel (up to 30 V)
♦ Switching converters and regulators for 3.3/5 V voltage generation
♦ Error detection with hysteresis with excessive temperature, overload and low voltage
♦ Driver shutdown in the event of error
♦ Error messaging via two open-collector outputs

APPLICATIONS
♦ Sensor interface for light barriers and proximity switches, for example
