FEATURES

Monolithic Eight-Diode Array

Exceptional Efficiency

Low Forward Voltage

Fast Recovery Time

High Peak Current

Small Size

DESCRIPTION

This eight-diode array is designed for

high-current, low duty-cycle applications typical of

flyback voltage clamping for inductive loads. The

dual bridge connection makes this device

particularly applicable to bipolar driven stepper

motors.

The use of Schottky diode technology features

high efficiency through lowered forward voltage

drop and decreased reverse recovery time.

This single monolithic chip is fabricated in both

hermetic CERDIP and copper-leaded plastic

packages. The UC1610 in ceramic is designed for

−55°C to 125°C environments but with reduced

peak current capability. The UC2610 in plastic and

ceramic is designed for −25°C to 125°C

environments also with reduced peak current

capability; while the UC3610 in plastic has higher

current rating over a 0°C to 70°C temperature

range.
