Configurable Octal Serial Switch with Open Load Detect Current Disable

The 33879 device is an 8-output hardware-configurable, high-side/low-side switch with 16-bit serial input  control. Two of the outputs may be controlled directly via microprocessor for PWM applications. The 33879 incorporates SMARTMOS technology, with CMOS logic, bipolar/MOS analog circuitry, and DMOS power MOSFETs. The 33879 controlsvarious inductive, incandescent, or LED loads by directly interfacing with a microcontroller.
