U426B Infrared Driver Description The U426B is an IR-driver IC for IR data communication. The circuit contains a programmable constant current source (DRV) to drive the IRED. The current is programmed by an external resistor (RS). With the internal comparator (COMP) an external voltage can be monitored. The low-power standby mode, controlled by means of the WAKE input, makes the circuit well suited for battery-powered systems.

A2, 15-Oct-98 U426B Constant Current Driver (DRV) The constant current driver converts the incoming data pulses into adequate constant current pulses. A high level applied to the data input causes a constant current flow through the IR diode connected to the IRED output. This current can be programmed via the external resistor (RS). To calculate the output current, use the following formula: I RED + 150 Monitoring Comparator (COMP) mV RS Power Supply The power-supply circuit generates the internal supply voltage from an external voltage (VS = 2.4 V to 12 V).The Pin VS is protected by an internal suppressor diode WAKE internal circuit state against voltages above 13 V. The internal supply voltage can be switched on/off with a high/low level at the WAKE input. Setting WAKE to low level switches the circuit from busy to standby mode which results in a very low current consumption (2 mA). Every change between busy and standby mode needs a latency of up to 1 ms. Data transmission and voltage monitoring only takes place while WAKE remains high. The monitoring comparator compares the voltage at Pin MON-I to an internal reference voltage of V3 = 525 mV typ. The open collector output transistor is active if the voltage at Pin MON-I falls below the internal threshold voltage. The comparator can be used to monitor the power-supply battery.

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 Semiconductor GmbH 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 Semiconductor GmbH 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.
