Application circuit as a car flasher (Resistor R1, R2 and Rt: 1/4 Watt R1 for protection against continuous reversed polarity: 2 Watt) Order Information Extended Type Number U243B U243B-FP TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors Rev. A1, 05-Sep-96 Package 8 pin dual-inline plastic 8 pin SO plastic Remarks 1 (6) Preliminary Information U243B Circuit Description The application circuit shows the operation of the U243B as a car-direction indicator signal generator. The flashing frequency is determined by the components Rt and Ct, and the frequency can be calculated from f1 1 Rt (Hz) Ct 1.5 where f1 is the frequency in normal flashing operation (basic frequency). The control frequency f2 is typically 2.2 times the value of f1 and is the frequency in the case of lamp failure. The bright periods for f1 and f2 are internally set in the IC and are 50% for f1 and 40% for f2. The resistors R1 and R2 are needed to protect the circuit against possible damage. An integrated Z-diode in addition to these external resistors limits the impulse current in the integrated circuit to ≤ 1.5 A. Connecting the circuit with the wrong polarity leads to current limitation by R1, R2 and the resistance of the coil of the relay. A current of about 150 mA would then flow over R1, so that for unlimited protection against continuous reversal of the polarity of the supply, a 2-W resistor would be necessary. A short circuit between the indicator lamp (49a) and ground (31) can give rise to a voltage drop of about 4 V across the measuring resistance, R3. The circuit is not damaged by such a short circuit. The use of this application circuit ensures damage and interference protection accordance to VDE 0839. The recognition point for lamp failure can be calculated from the control signal threshold, typically 81 mV with VS = 12 V. With 81 mV and a measuring resistance of R3 = 30 mW, it corresponds to a lamp current of 2.7 A, i.e., the frequency change-over with a lamp load of 21 W + 11.4 W. The variation of the control-signal threshold with the supply voltage takes into account the PTC characteristic of the filament lamps. A resistance Rp ≥ 5 kW between the lamp indicator (49a) and ground (31) ensures that in case the direction indicator switch is open, the flashing generator is in stand-by mode. With a control lamp of max. 4 W between 49 and 49a the IC still starts with the bright phase. The arrangement of the supply connections to Pins 2 and 6 must be such as to ensure that, on the connection PCB, the resistance of VS to Pin 6 is lower than that to Pin 2. Defined operation is ensured with a lamp load of PL 10 W or more. Defined operation with lamp loads ≥ 2 W require an additional external resistance as described in “Applications”. With considerably reduced external circuitry, the integrated circuit U243B can be used as an instable multivibrator in the frequency range f = 0.05 to 10 Hz.

The voltage drop across the resistor R4 is generated by the current flowing over the relay and should be about 15 mV. With a relay current of 150 mA (relay resistance 73 Q), this requires a resistance of R4 = 100 m. The change of TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors Rev. A1, 05-Sep-96 the operating point by 15 mV results in a corresponding change of the control signal threshold by 15 mV. For a lamp current of 2.7 A, a measuring resistance of R3 = 81 mV – 15 mV 2.7 A = 25 m results. 3 (6) Preliminary Information U243B D Istable multivibrator The figure shows the minimum of circuitry necessary for the operation as an instable multivibrator. The circuit is suitable for frequencies between 0.05 Hz and approximately 10 kHz. The frequency can be calculated by using the relationship for f1 given in circuit description. A starting resistor of 3.8 kW is integrated into the circuit between pins 8 and 6. This means that, for a load on pin 3 of, for example, 500 W (open circuits) and zero current, a voltage of about 1.4 V remains on the load (for 70 WWthe corresponding voltage is about 220 mV). A load of RL ≤ 3.3 kW on pin 3 ensures correct operation of the instable multivibrator. The relationship between the on- and offperiods can be changed in this circuit by inserting a resistor-diode combination parallel to R1 (see dashed lines in the figure), e.g., to reduce the “bright”-time.
