Configurable Octal Serial Switch with Serial Peripheral Interface I/O

The 33880 device is an eight-output hardware configurable high-side/low side switch with 8-bit serial input control. Two of the outputs may be controlled directly via microprocessor for PWM applications. The 33880 incorporates SMARTMOS technology, with CMOS logic, bipolar/MOS analog circuitry, and DMOS power MOSFETs. The 33880 controls various inductive or incandescent loads by directly interfacing with a microcontroller. The circuit’s innovative monitoring and protection features include very low standby currents, cascade fault reporting, output-specific diagnostics, and independent shutdown of output.
