FZL 4145 D Quad Driver Incl. Short-Circuit Signaling Bipolar IC Features ● ● ● Short-circuit shutdown with clock generator Four driver circuits for controlling power transistors Overload and short-circuit signaling P-DIP-18-1 Type Ordering Code Package FZL 4145 D Q67000-H8437 P-DIP-18-1 General Description The IC comprises four driver circuits capable of driving power transistors for high output currents. The output transistors are protected against short-circuit to ground and supply voltage. The input threshold can be adjusted between 1.5 V and 7 V. Overload or shortcircuit failure at an output will be indicated at pin SQ (signaling output). Functional Description Each driver circuit has one active high driver input Dl and a common enable input (ENA) (active high) is provided for all stages. The (Q) outputs are designed to drive the output transistors. The load current is sampled via pin W. If the load current exceeds the preset value, the output stage switches off. Switching-on again is provided by the built-in clock generator. Its operation requires an external capacitor CT at pin C. If CT is bridged by a break-key, switching on can only be carried out by operating a key. The duty cycle of the clock generator is 1:50 (e.g. 40 µs/2 ms with CT = 33 nF). In case of overcurrent or short-circuit failure at any output stage the signaling output (SQ) will go low. In clock-governed operation (i.e. when there is automatic switching on by the clock and not by a key), SQ goes high and low at the clock rate as long as a shortcircuit or overload exists. SQ is an open-collector output. Unused W pins must be connected to Vs. Open W pins would simulate a short-circuit and activate the signaling output.

The inputs are protected with clamp diodes.

The pulsed power dissipation in case of a short circuit must be observed. In order to suppress oscillations of the power stage in case of a short circuit, a capacitor C at Q1 to Q4 is necessary if e.g. fast switching transistors are used. Typical value X of C: approx. 20 nF. The output circuit 1 is suited for currents up to approx. IQ = 100 mA. The output circuit 2 and 3 are suited for currents up to approx. IQ = 2 A. A minimum power dissipation can be achieved with circuit 3. A break key in parallel to CT allows a manual switch-on in case of short-circuit. RP = Precision resistor (current measurement) CT = 0.8 x tp (nF, µs) tp = Short-circuit current pulse length Note: Circuit 1 does not permit a capacitor between Q1 and Q4 and the collector. Circuit 2 does not permit a capacitor between Q1 and Q4 and base or emitter, respectively. Otherwise too high current spikes would arise in case of a short circuit. Semiconductor Group 9 FZL 4145 D Typical Application of Short-Circuit Signaling Output SQ 1. LED Display 2. TTL/CMOS/LSL Driving If the pulses appearing at SQ during clocked operation disturb the remainder of the circuit, a lowpass filter will be necessary. For a load current of ISQ = 1 mA a capacitor C of approx. 10 nF is necessary to limit the output pulses of up to 10 µs (depending on CT) to 1 V. Signaling occurs after approx. 50 µs.
