Relay Drivers

Relay Drivers

Certain types of equipment such as telecommunications or automated test equipment (ATE) often use multiple banks of relays to achieve nearly lossless switching of almost any kind of signal. In these products, many relay coils can be supplied from a single power supply, which must be large enough to drive all the coils simultaneously. In addition, the relays can be densely packed into a very small area, making power dissipation from the coils a design concern. Analog Devices’ family of relay drivers provides high voltage, high power solutions in small form factors with high efficiency.
