Using PWM to minimize power dissipation and maximize load efficiency, the UDN2962W dual driver is recommended for impact printer solenoids and stepper motors. It is comprised of two source/sink driver pairs rated for continuous operation to ±3 A. It can be connected to drive two independent loads or a single load in the full bridge configuration. Both drivers include output clamp/flyback diodes, input gain and level shifting, a voltage regulator for single supply operation, and pulse-width modulated output-current control circuitry. Inputs are compatible with most TTL, DTL, LSTTL, and low-voltage CMOS or PMOS logic.
