It integrates an internal PWM current-regulation scheme and a status flag output, reducing external components compared to a discrete FET-plus-PWM solution. The load supply range of 6V to 26V covers 12V and 24V industrial rails, and the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature suits factory-floor enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and engine-bay-adjacent equipment. ## Load voltage and current — sizing the rail and the load The load supply (6V to 26V) sets the coil voltage for the relay or solenoid. A 12V nominal coil sees full saturation; a 24V coil runs within the upper half of the range. The driver is a low-side switch, meaning the load connects between the supply rail and the drain of the internal N-channel FET, with the source tied to ground. This topology is standard for grounded-load industrial outputs. The internal PWM limits the average current through the load, which is useful for holding a solenoid engaged at reduced power after the initial pull-in — saves coil heating and supply current. ## Fault protection and status reporting Over-temperature shutdown and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protect the driver and the load. The status flag output goes active when a fault is detected, which can feed a digital input on a PLC or microcontroller for system-level diagnostics. The On/Off interface (non-inverting input) accepts a simple logic-level signal — no SPI or I²C overhead, which keeps the BOM simple for basic on-off control of a valve or contactor coil. ## Package and board integration The 8-TSSOP package (4.40 mm width) is a surface-mount footprint that fits on compact control PCBs alongside passives and a microcontroller. No external Vcc supply is required — the driver is powered entirely from the load supply, which simplifies the power tree. The Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) supply format suits both prototyping and production reels.","metaTitle":"DRV120PWR Low-Side Relay/Solenoid Driver, 6V-26V, 8-TSSOP","metaDescription":"DRV120PWR is a low-side N-channel driver for relays and solenoids, 6V-26V load range, internal PWM and status flag, -40°C to 105°C, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Internal PWM, Status Flag","Interface":"On/Off","Input Type":"Non-Inverting","Output Type":"N-Channel","Switch Type":"Relay, Solenoid Driver","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-TSSOP (0.173\\\", 4.40mm Width)","Voltage - Load":"6V ~ 26V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Over Temperature, UVLO","Number of Outputs":"1","Output Configuration":"Low Side","Ratio - Input:Output":"1:1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C (TA)","Supplier Device Package":"8-TSSOP","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"Not Required"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.5","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.50000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.24700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.12000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.80620","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.69600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.48400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.22960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$1.20000","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/05767c028cb5a0757b6014fd2f323dae.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the DRV120PWR used for?","answer":"It drives relays and solenoids in industrial control, automation, and telecom equipment.
