FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The device has a diagnostic output which
indicates open circuit (no load) and over
temperature conditions. The output signals are
processed by internal logic.
To protect the device against short circuit and
over-current condition the thermal protection
turns the integrated Power MOS off at a minimum
junction temperature of 140

C the switch is
automatically turned on again. To ensur the
protection in all V
CC
conditions and in all the
junction temperature range it is necessary to limit
the voltage drop across Drain and Source (pin 3
and 5) at 29 V. The device is able to withstand a
load dump according the test pulse 5 at level III of
the ISO TR/1 7631.
Above V
CC
= 36V the output voltage is clamped
to 36V. Power dissipation increases and the
device turns off if junction temperature reaches
thermal shutdown temperature.

PROTECTING
REVERSE BATTERY
The simplest way to protect the device against a
continuous reverse battery voltage (-26V) is to

insert a Schottky diode between pin 1 (GND) and
ground, as shown in the typical application circuit
(fig. 3).
The consequences of the voltage drop across
this diode are as follows:
-
If the input is pulled to power GND, a negative
voltage of -V
F
is seen by the device. (V
IL
, V
IH
thresholds and V
STAT
are increased by V
F
with
respect to power GND).
-
The undervoltage shutdown level is increased
by V
F
.
If there is no need for the control unit to handle
external analog signals referred to the power
GND, the best approach is to connect the
reference potential of the control unit to node [1]
(see application circuit infig. 4), which becomes
the common signal GND for the whole control
board.
In this way no shift of V
IH
, V
IL
and V
STAT
takes
place and no negative voltage appears on the
INPUT pin; this solution allows the use of a
standard diode, with a breakdown voltage able to
handle any ISO normalized negative pulses that
occours in the automotive environment.
