PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
THERMAL BEHAVIOUR
The
VB029,
VB029SP,
VB029(011Y)
VB029(012Y) are mainly intended as high voltage
You can see in the block diagram of the VB029,
VB029SP, VB029(011Y) VB029(012Y) a box called
power switch device driven by a logic level input and
interfaces directly to a high energy electronic ignition coil.
overtemperature protection. The purpose of this circuit is
to shift the current level at which the first diagnostic is
activated down of about 1A.
The input VIN of the VB029, VB029SP, VB029(011Y)
VB029(012Y) are fed from a low power signal
generated by an external controller that determines both
dwell time and ignition point. During VIN high (≥4V) the
VB029, VB029SP, VB029(011Y) VB029(012Y)
increase current in the coil to the desired, internally set
current level.
This information can be managed by the micro that can
take the corrective action in order to reduce the power
dissipation. This block is not an effective protection but
just an overtemperature detection. The shift down of the
first flag level cannot be present for temperatures lower
than 125°C.
When the collector current exceeds 4.5A, the diagnostic
signal is turned high and it remains so, until the load
current reaches 5.8A (second threshold). At that value,
the diagnostic signal is turned low, and the µC forces the
VIN to the low state. During the coil current switch-off, the
primary voltage HVC is clamped by a series of Zener
diodes at an internally set value Vcl, typically 360V.
As an example of its behavior you can suppose a very
simple motor management system in which the micro
does just a simple arithmetic calculation to decide when to
switch-off the device after the first flag threshold.
The collector current sensed through the Rsense, is limited
thanks to the “Current limiter” block that, as soon as the Icl
level is reached, forces the darlington (using the “Driver”
block) to limit the current provided.
Iswitch-off info after kx ms.
The transition from saturation to desaturation, coil current
limiting phase, must have the ability to accommodate an
overvoltage. A maximum overshoot of 20V is allowed.
There can be some short period of time in which the
output pin (HVC) is pulled below ground by a negative
current due to leakage inductances and stray
capacitances of the ignition coil. This can cause parasitic
glitches on the diagnostic output. VB029, VB029SP,
VB029(011Y) VB029(012Y) have a built-in protection
circuit that allows to lock the p-buried layer potential of the
linear stage to the collector power, when the last one is
pulled underground.

EXAMPLE:
IC(DIAG1) info after x ms (IC(DIAG1)=2.5A)
As soon as the temperature rises over the overtemp
threshold, the first diagnostic is shifted down to about
1.5A and, in this example, the switch-off current will be
kx*1.5 / 2.5.
OVERVOLTAGE
The
VB029,
VB029SP,
VB029(011Y)
VB029(012Y) can withstand the following transients of
the battery line:
-100V / 2ms (Ri=10Ω)
+100V / 0.2ms (Ri=10Ω)
+50V / 400ms (Ri=4.2 Ω, with VIN=3V)
