ELM ELM413 Led controller and a circuit startup timer in an 8 pin package Datasheet

ELM413
LED Driver
Description
Features
The ELM413 is both an LED controller and a
circuit startup timer in an 8 pin package. The high
current capabilities of its outputs allow most LEDs to
be directly driven, usually only requiring a single
current limiting resistor.
The circuit startup, or warmup feature is useful
for allowing a stabilizing time period to pass before
enabling other circuits. This type of function is often
used in audio amplifier circuits where it is desirable
to block the speaker outputs until the amplifier
stages have stabilized. This can eliminate the
annoying ‘pop’ occasionally heard from audio
amplifiers.
The duration of the warmup period is selected
by logic levels on two input pins, providing four
discrete time intervals. All circuit timing is derived
from internal circuitry, and no additional timing
components are required for circuit operation.

ELM413
Pin Descriptions
VDD (pin 1)
This pin is the positive supply pin, and should
always be the most positive point in the circuit.
Internal circuitry connected to this pin is used to
provide power on reset of the microprocessor, so
an external reset signal is normally not required.
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for
further information.
AuxOut (pin 2)
This is an output signal for gating auxiliary circuits
off and on. It is set to its active high level after the
trigger input has been at a high level for the time
determined by W1 and W0. It is forced low if the
trigger input drops below the lower threshold.
W1 (pin 3), and W0 (pin 4)
These are the two digital input pins that are used
to select the warmup period as shown in the chart
on page 1.
Green (pin 6)
This output pin signifies the power on (trigger
above the threshold) condition. It becomes
active once the threshold is exceeded, and
remains so until the trigger resets and the
warmup period is complete.
During the warmup period, this output will flash if
either the 1 second or the 5 second time is
selected. Flash rates are nominally 2 Hz and 1
Hz respectively. For the 0.1 and 0.5 second
periods, the pin remains at a constant high level.
Red (pin 7)
This is the red LED drive output. It will be at a
high level when the circuit is at idle and the
trigger input is a low level. At all other times, this
pin is at a low output level.
VSS (pin 8)
Circuit common is connected to this pin. This is
the most negative point in the circuit.
Trigger (pin 5)
This is a schmitt trigger input that is used to
initiate the circuit activity. A rising (low to high)
edge at this pin will cause the red LED to go off,
the green LED to become active, and the warmup
timer to begin timing. Once initiated, pin activity is
ignored until the warmup period is complete.

Notes:
1. This integrated circuit is produced with a Microchip Technology Inc.’s PIC12C5XX as the core embedded
microcontroller. For further device specifications, and possibly clarification of those given, please refer to the
appropriate Microchip documentation.
2. This spec must be met in order to ensure that a correct power on reset occurs. It is quite easily achieved
using most common types of supplies, but may be violated if one uses a slowly varying supply voltage, as
may be obtained through direct connection to solar cells, or some charge pump circuits.
3. Device only. Does not include any current supplied to external components.
4. This is the maximum allowable current through the protection diodes when applying large voltages to the
trigger input (pin 5) through a current limiting resistance. With VDD > Vin > VSS, the circuit presents a typical
CMOS input load.
5. The trigger input is ignored during the warmup period.

ELM413
Example Application
Figure 1 below shows the ELM413 used in a
typical speaker control and pilot lamp circuit for an
audio amplifier. In this instance, the majority of the
circuit components required are associated with
the relay that is used to block the speaker outputs
until the power has stabilized.
For this application, W0 and W1 are both tied
to a logic high level, so the warmup period is
selected to be 5 seconds. This is likely a good
choice for most circuits of this type, although some
may be able to use the 1 second setting.
The ELM413 has its trigger pin connected
directly to Vdd, causing the circuit to sequence
whenever the power is turned on. If the trigger
input should be connected to another voltage
source, keep in mind that a series resistor should
always be used. The resistor limits current flow
when either supply is at a different level than the
other. Typical values would be about 100KΩ, so
that the input current shown under the Electrical
Characteristics section is not exceeded.
Only one LED is used for this circuit, as a red
LED would never be lit in this instance. Other
applications may require that both red and green
LEDs be used, and the ELM413 adapts easily to
this as it has separate outputs for both. The
outputs can easily drive back to back two wire
LEDs as well as the common cathode three wire
types, and of course, discrete diodes. As the red
and green outputs are not active at the same time,
a single series current limiting resistor is usually all
that is required.
The circuit shown below causes the green
LED to flash for 5 seconds, followed by a steady
output. If one wanted a solid output without
flashing, the LED could have been connected
directly to VDD, or it could have been connected
from VDD to pin 7 of the ELM413 (with a series
resistor). The latter case would likely be needed
for circuits that are retriggered using pin 5, without
the power being cycled.
The ELM413 is a simple yet versatile circuit
that is convenient and easy to use. Other uses
would include generating pulses from a trigger
input, or connecting several in series to generate
sequential events…
