A6800SA-T

Overview

The A6800SA-T is a latched-input BiMOS integrated circuit manufactured by Allegro Microsystems. It merges high-current, high-voltage outputs with CMOS logic to function as a power driver. The device features a 1:1 bipolar power switch configuration with four low-side outputs. Each channel supports a maximum output current of 600mA. The operating supply voltage range spans from 3V to 5.5V. The component is housed in a 14-DIP package with a standard tube packaging format.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-current, high-voltage outputs with CMOS logic inputs
• Features a 1:1 bipolar power switch configuration
• Includes four low-side outputs for load driving
• Supports latch input functionality for data retention

Applications

• General purpose power distribution switching
• Low-side load driving applications
• Bipolar power switch configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pin count against your design requirements, as datasheets may list variations such as DIP or SOIC. Confirm the supply voltage range compatibility with your system's power rails. Ensure the 600mA per-channel current rating meets your load demands. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate the latched-input behavior matches your control logic timing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a bipolar power switch configuration with latched inputs is required. It is suitable for applications needing four independent low-side outputs driven by CMOS logic. Consider the 600mA output capability per channel for moderate load requirements. Evaluate the 3V to 5.5V supply voltage range against your system's available power. Ensure the thermal performance of the chosen package suits the expected power dissipation.

Part Context

The A6800 series belongs to Allegro Microsystems' portfolio of BiMOS integrated circuits designed for power switching applications. These devices combine the speed and ease of use of CMOS logic with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors. The A6800SA-T specifically refers to the version packaged in a 14-pin dual in-line package. This family is engineered for reliable operation in various industrial and consumer electronic environments requiring robust power management.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the A6800SA (non-suffix variant) and potentially other packages like A6800SLWTR-T if pinout compatibility is verified. Cross-referencing with similar 14-pin DIP power drivers from other manufacturers requires careful verification of electrical parameters and pin definitions.
