U644B
Flasher, 18-m
W
Shunt, Extremly Low Current Consumption
Description
The bipolar integrated circuit, U644B, is used in relay-
controlled automotive flashers where a high level EMC
is required. Lamp outage is indicated by frequency doub-
ling during hazard warning as well as direction mode.
If the flasher module provides an 4-pin connector the
control pin of U644B (Pin 6) can be used to operate the
IC in an extremly low-current mode.
