A2550 Datasheet Relay Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

Large numbers of relay-based applications require the use of a microprocessor which implements complex system control.

In these systems, there is the need for microprocessor logic supply voltage, power-on reset circuitry, and watchdog capabilities.

The Allegro™ A2550 combines the functions of voltage regulator, watchdog, and reset, as well as three low-side DMOS relay driver outputs.
