Functional Description
Pin 1, Supply Voltage, VS or VBatt
Overvoltage Detection
Stage 1
If overvoltages of VBatt > 20 V (typically) occur, the external transistor is switched off,
and switched on again at VBatt < 18.5 V (hysteresis).
Stage 2
If VBatt > 28.5 V (typically), the voltage limitation of the IC is reduced from VS = 26 V to
20 V. The gate of the external transistor remains at the potential of the IC ground, thus
producing voltage sharing between FET and lamps in the event of overvoltage pulses
(e.g., load dump). The short-circuit protection is not in operation. At
VBatt approximately < 23 V, the overvoltage detection stage 2 is switched off. Thus, during overvoltage detection stage 2, the lamp voltage Vlamp is calculated as follows:
VLamp = VBatt - VS - VGS
VS = supply voltage of the IC at overvoltage detection stage 2
VGS = gate - source voltage of the FET
Undervoltage Detection
In the event of voltages of approximately VBatt < 5.0 V, the external FET is switched off
and the latch for short-circuit detection is reset.
A hysteresis ensures that the FET is switched on again at approximately VBatt ³ 5.4 V.
Pin 2, GND
Ground-wire Breakage
To protect the FET in the case of ground-wire breakage, a 1 MW resistor between gate
and source is recommended to provide proper switch-off conditions.
Pin 3, Control Input
The pulse width is controlled by means of an external potentiometer (47 kW). The characteristic (angle of rotation/duty cycle) is linear. The duty cycle can be varied from 18 to
100%. It is possible to further restrict the duty cycle with the resistors R1 and R2 (see
Figure 4 on page 10).
In order to reduce the power dissipation of the FET and to increase the lifetime of the
lamps, the IC automatically reduces the maximum duty cycle at pin 8 if the supply voltage exceeds V 2 = 13 V. Pin 3 is protected against short-circuit to V Batt and ground
(VBatt £ 16.5 V).
Pin 4, Oscillator
4
The oscillator determines the frequency of the output voltage. This is defined by an
external capacitor, C2. It is charged with a constant current, I, until the upper switching
threshold is reached. A second current source is then activated which taps a double current, 2 ´ I, from the charging current. The capacitor, C 2 , is thus discharged at the
current, I, until the lower switching threshold is reached. The second source is then
switched off again and the procedure starts once more.

Frequency Calculation
Switching thresholds
VT100
= High switching threshold (100% duty cycle)
VT100
= VS ´ a1 = (VBatt - IS ´ R3) ´ a1
VT<100
= High switching threshold (< 100% duty cycle)
VT<100
= VS ´ a2 = (VBatt - IS ´ R3) ´ a2
VTL
= Low switching threshold
VTL
= VS ´ a3 = (VBatt - IS ´ R3) ´ a3
where
a1, a2 and a3 are fixed values
Calculation Example
Oscillator Frequency
The above mentioned threshold voltages are calculated for the following values given in
the data sheet.
VBatt
= 12 V, IS = 4 mA, R3 = 150 W, a1 = 0.7, a2 = 0.67 and a3 = 0.28
VT100
= (12 V - 4 mA ´ 150 W) ´ 0.7 » 8 V
VT<100
= 11.4 V ´ 0.67 = 7.6 V
VTL
= 11.4 V ´ 0.28 = 3.2 V
3 cases have to be distinguished
1. f1 for duty cycle = 100%, no slope reduction with capacitor C4
(see Figure 4 on page 10)
I OSC
- , where C2 = 68 nF, IOSC = 45 µA
f 1 = --------------------------------------------------------2 ´ ( V T100 – V TL ) ´ C2
f1 = ... = 75 Hz
2. f2 for duty cycle < 100%, no slope reduction with capacitor C4
For a duty cycle of less than 100%, the oscillator frequency, f, is as follows:
I OSC
- , where C2 = 68 nF, IOSC = 45 µA
f 2 = -----------------------------------------------------------2 ´ ( V T<100 – V TL ) ´ C2
f2 = ... = 69 Hz
3. f3 with duty cycle < 100% with slope reduction capacitor C4 (see “Output Slope
Control” on page 6)
Iosc
f 3 = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 ´ ( V T<100 – V TL ) ´ C2 + 2VBatt ´ C 4
where C2 = 68 nF, IOSC = 45 µA, C4 = 1.8 nF
f3 = ... = 70 Hz
By selecting different values of C2 and C4, it is possible to have a range of oscillator frequencies from 10 to 2000 Hz as shown in the data sheet.

4770A–AUTO–11/03
Output Slope Control
The slope of the lamp voltage is internally limited to reduce radio interference by limitation of the voltage gain of the PWM comparator.
Thus, the voltage rise on the lamp is proportional to the oscillator voltage increase at the
switchover time according to the equation.
dV8/dt = a4 ´ dV4/dt = 2 ´ a4 ´ f ´ (a2 - a3) ´ (VBatt - IS ´ R3)
when
f = 75 Hz, VTX = VT < 100 and a4 = 63
then
dV8/dt = 2 ´ 63 ´ 75 Hz ´ (0.67 - 0.28) ´ (12 V - 4 mA ´ 15 W) = 42 V/ms
Via an external capacitor, C4, the slope can be further reduced as follows:
dV8/dt = IOSC/(C4 + C2/a4)
when
IOSC = 45 µA, C4 = 1.8 nF, C2 = 68 nF and a4 = 63
then dV8/dt = 45 µA/(1.8 nF + 68 nF/63) = 15.6 V/ms
To damp oscillation tendencies, a resistance of 100 W in series with capacitance C4 is
recommended.

Pins 5 and Pin 6, Short-circuit Protection and Current Sensing
Short-circuit Detection and
Time Delay, td
The lamp current is monitored by means of an external shunt resistor. If the lamp current
exceeds the threshold for the short-circuit detection circuit (VT2 » 90 mV), the duty cycle
is switched over to 100% and the capacitor C5 is charged by a current source of Ich - Idis.
The external FET again is switched off after the cut-off threshold (VT5 ) is reached.
Switching on the FET again is possible after a power-on reset only. The current source,
Idis, ensures that the capacitor C5 is not charged by parasitic currents.
The time delay, td, is calculated as follows:
td = C5 ´ VT5/(Ich - Idis)
With C5 = 100 nF and VT5 = 10.4 V, Ich =13 µA, Idis = 3 µA, the time delay is as follows:
td = 100 nF ´ 10.4 V/(13 µA - 3 µA)
td = 104 ms
Current Limitation
The lamp current is limited by a control amplifier to protect the external power transistor.
The voltage drop across the external shunt resistor acts as the measured variable. Current limitation takes place for a voltage drop of VT1 » 100 mV. Owing to the difference
VT1 - VT2 » 10 mV, it ensures that current limitation occurs only when the short-circuit
detection circuit has responded.
After a power-on reset, the output is inactive for half an oscillator cycle. During this time,
the supply voltage capacitor can be charged so that current limitation is guaranteed in
the event of a short-circuit when the IC is switched on for the first time.
Pins 7 and 8, Charge
Pump and Output
Pin 8 (output) is suitable for controlling a power MOSFET. During the active integration
phase, the supply current of the operational amplifier is mainly supplied by the capacitor
C3 (bootstrapping). In addition, a trickle charge is generated by an integrated oscillator
(f7 » 400 kHz) and a voltage doubler circuit. This permits a gate voltage supply at a duty
cycle of 100%.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
