NSC LM1951

LM1951 Solid State 1 Amp Switch
General Description
Features
The LM1951 is a high current, high voltage, high side (PNP)
switch with a built-in error detection circuit.
The LM1951 is guaranteed to deliver 1 Amp output current
and is capable of withstanding up to g 85V transients. The
built-in error detection provides an error flag output under
the following fault conditions: output short to ground or supply, open load, current limit, overvoltage or thermal shutdown. The LM1951 will drive all types of resistive or inductive loads. The output has a built-in negative voltage clamp
( & b30V) to provide a quick energy discharge path for
inductive loads. The LM1951 features TTL and CMOS compatible logic input with hysteresis. Switching times, both turn
on and turn off, are 2 ms (Cload k 0.005 mF). In addition, its
quiescent current in the OFF state is typically less than
0.1 mA at room temperature and less than 10 mA over the
entire operating temperature and voltage range.
The LM1951 features make it well suited for industrial and
automotive applications.

Application Hints
may be evident in a combination inductive/capacitive load,
or in an inductive load with supply decoupling capacitors in
the range of 100 nF to 1 mF. For fast rise and fall times and
minimum ringing with inductive loads, a supply decoupling
capacitor of 10 nF and an output capacitor of 1 nF is recommended. These should be located as close to the IC pins as
possible.
The error flag is an open collector output that pulls low under certain fault conditions. These errors include overvoltage (VCC l 26V), overcurrent (IOUT l 1.3A), undercurrent
(IOUT k 2 mA), output short circuit to ground, output short
circuit to supply, and junction temperature greater than
150§ C. By connecting a 2 kX resistor from the error flag
output to a 5V supply a logic output to a microprocessor is
provided.
The error flag can give seemingly false indications in a number of situations. Slewing large capacitive loads (l100 nF)
can drive the LM1951 into temporary current limit, producing a momentary error indication. Incandescent lamps and
DC motors require an inrush current that will also cause a
temporary current limit and error indication. Large inductive
loads (l50 mH) initially appear as open circuits, falsing the
error flag. The error flag pulses for about 1 ms when any
load is turned ON since the output is initially at ground. In
microprocessor systems these false indications are easily
ignored in software. In discrete logic circuits utilizing a latch
at the error flag output, some filtering may be required.
An internal current sink (10 mA minimum) is connected to
the input, pin 5. If this pin is left open it is guaranteed to pull
low, switching the LM1951 OFF. This characteristic is important under certain fault conditions such as when the control line fails open cirucit.
Although the input threshold has hysteresis, the switch
points are derived from a very stable band-gap reference. In
many applications, such as Figures 5 and 7 , the LM1951
input can replace an extenal reference and comparator.
The input (pin 5) is clamped at b0.7V and includes a series
resistance of approximately 30 kX. This pin tolerates negative inputs of up to 1 mA without affecting the performance
of the chip.
When inductive loads are turned OFF, they produce a negative voltage spike. The LM1951 contains a voltage clamp
that limits these spikes to approximately b30V, thus an external clamp is not necessary in most applications.
Loads with an inductance of greater than 1H, driven to full
output current, may damage the clamp simply by exceeding
the power capabilities of the LM1951. An LM1951 can dissipate 25W continuous at 25§ C ambient when mounted on a
large heatsink. If the load current is limited to 800 mA, the
sustained spike from an infinitely large inductance can be
handled. Sustained spikes produced by higher currents and
high inductances will exceed the 25W limit.
For inductances above 1H, care should be taken to see that
the output current does not exceed a value that could damage the clamp. While 800 mA is acceptable for the device
running at 25§ C ambient on a heatsink, derate this current
for smaller heatsinks or higher ambient temperatures to limit
the junction temperature to 150§ C. Alternatively, an external
clamp or resonating capacitor can be added to handle any
combination of load inductance, load current, and device
temperature. This is especially important if the output current is boosted, such as the application shown in Figure 3 . A
peak power of 750W could be developed in the internal
clamp if an inductive load is switched without external
clamping.
Another case where the clamp’s power capability may be
exceeded is when driving a solenoid. The inductance of a
solenoid is greatest when energized, with the plunger pulled
in. As the plunger is pulled out of the solenoid, the inductance goes down. Under certain conditions of high solenoid
inductance and fast mechanical time constants, the current
may actually increase when the solenoid is turned OFF.
Since the energy stored in an inductor cannot change instantaneously, the current must increase to conserve energy when the inductance decreases. This condition is traced
by observing the load current with a current probe and storage oscilloscope.
Load capacitances larger than 1 nF will slow rise and fall
times. Inductive loads having a capacitive component larger
than 1 nF will also exhibit overshoot. Furthermore, ringing
