U6805B
4763A–AUTO–11/03
Basic Circuitry
The integrated circuit U6805B requires a stabilized supply voltage (VS = 5 V ±5%) to
comply with its electrical characteristics. An external buffer capacitor of C = 100 nF is
recommended. An integrated 14 V Z diode between VS and ground protects the supply
pin.
All input stages are provided with an integrated 250 kW pull-up resistor and can be
directly connected to a microcontroller.
All output stages are open collectors, each capable of sinking 20 mA. Recommended
external components:
Pull-up resistor, R = 1 kW
Capacitor to GND, C = 470 pF, see Figure 3 on page 4
Functional Description
General ON state: Low level at the input stage activates the corresponding output stage.
OFF state: The internal pull-up resistor provides high level to the input comparator and
deactivates the output stage.
7 V Zener diodes between each input pin and GND are capable of ±10 mA clamping
current without crosstalk on adjacent input stages.
A total clamping current of ±30 mA should be observed with respect to the power
dissipation.
Current Limitation of the
Output Stages and
Overtemperature
Shutdown
A temperature-dependent current limitation in the range of 25 to 100 mA protects the
stages in case of a short-circuit. Additionally, the chip temperature is monitored. If
Tchip >148°C, all outputs are disabled and automatically enabled with a hysteresis of
DTChip > 5 K. Refer to the hex driver U6807B if the temperature shutdown feature is not
required.
Transients and Load
Dump
An integrated 28 V Zener diode protects each output stage against transients and load
dump (Schaffner pulses). With the help of an external 1 kW resistor, the output transistor
is capable of handling the corresponding current which flows during each of these condi-
tions. Apart from that, the outputs are short-circuit and overload protected.
Low-voltage Detection When the supply voltage is switched on, a power-on reset pulse is generated internally
which disables all output stages until a defined supply-voltage level is reached. The
low-voltage detection is provided with a hysteresis of Vhyst = 0.5 V typically.
