Qualification and fit for automotive loads
The SN75469D is an AEC-Q100 qualified 7-channel NPN Darlington transistor array in a 16-SOIC package. Each channel handles a continuous collector current up to 500 mA with a collector-emitter breakdown of 100 V, making it sized for driving solenoids, relays, and indicator lamps in automotive body electronics. The qualification at 150 °C junction temperature supports under-hood and cabin environments where the OEM auditor expects PPAP documentation on file.
Sourcing posture
For dual-sourcing, the AEC-Q100 qualification means any alternate must also carry an AEC-Q100 grade – capable is not qualified when the OEM auditor asks for PPAP.
