The high these linear regulators to operate at differential. to radically reduce the number of lamp gain ZTX690B features a saturation currents of 5A continuously with drivers required. Here, each row is voltage of 220mV at 800mA with just drop-out voltages of only 180mV for the Low drop-out voltage regulators are selected in turn by control logic or more 4mA of base current allowing direct NPN circuit and 350mV for the PNP. essential for many battery powered usually by an appropriately configured logic drive. The ZTX951 needs 100mA of applications including computers and micro-controller. During row selection, Packaged in the compact TO126, these base current to handle lamp turn-on other logic applications, in order to the appropriate column drivers are high performance transistors are easy to maximise useful battery life and reduce surges, and will give a saturation voltage activated to give the required display mount and can be used free-standing for re-charge frequency. below 100mV in normal operation. output. Consequently, each row driver lower output current applications. must drive 8 lamps simultaneously, Automotive electronics is another Surface mount and through-hole The number of bulbs driven can be taking a worst case surge current of 6A. applicable area, where in engine options are available in the SOT223 and easily increased by adding row drivers The column drivers must have very high management systems they are E-Line (TO92 style )packages. and increasing the supply voltage to gains to pass surges of up to 800mA employed to ensure that the circuitry is maintain lamp power with reduced duty using direct logic interfacing.
