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.

Applications
D Flashing generator, operation with smaller loads
(≥ 2 W)
By adding a resistor to the application circuit (figure 1),
defined operation with lamp loads ≥ 2 W is possible. 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.

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.

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances ( ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and
forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban
on these substances.
TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of
continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2 . Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency ( EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C ( transitional substances ) respectively.
TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain
such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized
application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of,
directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or
unauthorized use.
