U2481B/ U2482B Multiple Automotive Lamp-Outage Monitor, VT = 3.5 mV Description The U2481B and the U2482B multicomparator circuits are designed to monitor automotive illumination by sensing the voltage drop across shunt resistors. Equipped with extremely low comparator thresholds, these ICs can be used together as a chip set to build an entire lamp monitor system. Single operation of both circuits is also possible. As a special feature for brake-lamp monitoring, the U2481B contains a latch stage connected to one of its triple comparators. With - 4 single comparators - 1 double comparator and - 2 triple comparators each of the integrated circuits monitors up to 12 lamps and up to 6 fuses. All comparator stages are combined together to control the common output stage. Features Benefits Extremely low comparator thresholds of typically 3.5 mV Extremely low threshold voltage gives low voltage drop via shunt resistor. Power dissipation of the lamp monitor module is minimized Internal compensation for copper shunts Perfect EMC in conjunction with an appropriate pc board layout Internal compensation for voltage-dependent bulb characteristic Comparator input voltage may exceed supply voltage Internal protection measures for pulses according to ISO TR 7637/1 ESD according to MIL-SID-883 C test method 3015.7 - Human body model: 4 kV - Machine model: 200 V EMI protection (TEM cell up to 100 V/m) Applications Both ICs can be used in any kind of vehicle with a 12-V supply. It is sufficient to insert small resistors into the lamp wiring and to provide the dashboard instrument cluster with a pilot lamp. These ICs increase safety and add comfort features.

Basic application diagram 4 (12) Rev. A5, 03-Apr-01 U2481B/ U2482B Functional Description Power Supply, Pins 19 and 20 The ICs have two supply pins. The IC itself is supplied via Pin 19 (stabilized voltage, POR-circuitry). Pin 20 supplies only the current sources of the comparators. Both pins have an an internal 21-V Zener diode for protection. For reasons of interference protection, and surge immunity, the supply voltage pins have to be provided with RC-circuitries as shown in figure 3. The resistors limit the current in the case of overvoltage, whereas the capacitors smooth the supply voltage. Recommended values: Pin 19: R1 = 150 ; C1 = 15 F Pin 20: R2 = 1000 ; C2 = 0.1 F An external diode protects the IC against battery reversal. Power-on Reset When the supply voltage is switched on, a power-on-reset pulse is generated internally which resets the brake lamp monitor latch and the counter stages. Oscillator, Pin 15 The RC-oscillator is the time base for clock 1 and clock 2 (see block diagram) which are desired from a divider stage and fed to the two upward and downward counters. The oscillator frequency fosc is mainly determined by the external R/C components and an integrated resistor. The capacitor Cosc is charged by the external resistor and discharged by the integrated one. Because of the temperature characteristic and the tolerances of the integrated 2 k-resistor, the external one has to have considerable higher value in order to achieve a stable frequency. A bulb is detected as "good" as long as the voltage drop via the shunt resistor exceeds the threshold voltage. If the pilot lamp is off, a failed bulb is detected if the voltage drop via the shunt resistor is smaller than the threshold voltage. If the pilot lamp is on, an external transistor is necessary to drive the pilot lamp. Monitoring is disabled when the lamps are switched off, therefore the comparator outputs are disabled if the reference voltage Vref < VMin with VMin = 0.33VB. As protection against transients on the supply, all comparator inputs require external resistors. Their tolerances directly influence the comparator threshold accuracy. Resistors with a 1% tolerance are recommended. Single comparators: The inputs (K1, K2, K4, K6) sink currents of typically 10 A each. During switch-over, the currents of reference and input pins are identical. Therefore, identical external protection resistors (R = 1 k) are required. Double comparator: The reference input (K5) sinks a current of typically 20 A; its inputs sink currents of typically 10 A each during switch-over. Therefore, the external protection resistors must provide R = 1 k for REFK5 and R = 2 k each for IN1K5 and IN2K5. Triple comparators: The reference inputs (K3 and K7) sink currents of typically 30 A. All inputs (IN1K3, IN2K3 IN3K3, and IN1K7, IN2K7, IN3K7) sink the identical typical current of 10 A during switch-over. Therefore, the external protection resistor must provide R = 1 k for REFK3 and REFK7 and R = 3 k at each input. Calculation of the frequency: f osc t 1 osc c osc 1 (0.74 R osc 2260 ) With the recommended values Rosc = 82 k and Cosc = 10 nF fosc 1.58 kHz Comparators Comparators K1 and K2: threshold voltage of typically Vth = 13 mV; designed to monitor high- and low-beam bulbs, where the fuses can be used as shunt resistors. Comparators K3 to K7: threshold voltage of typically Vth = 3.5 mV; designed for all other monitor purposes. Due to the integrated compensation circuitry, these comparators are suitable for pc layer copper shunts. Rev. A5, 03-Apr-01 Fuse Monitoring The internal EXOR conjunction of comparators K1 and K2 allows fuse monitoring for both lamps. Even a simultaneous blowout of both fuses is detected. The pins INFK3, INFK5 and INFK6 with their EXOR gates can be used for additional fuse monitoring. Detection threshold for a blown fuse is Vref < VMin with VMin = 0.33 VB (VB = reference voltage of comparators). Pin INF is used for brake fuse monitoring. With a voltage drop VF > 4.8 V across the fuse, the comparator detects a blown fuse. A voltage drop VF < 2.8 V represents a "good" fuse. U2481B's comparator, K7, is connected to a latch, thus a brake lamp outage is memorized. 5 (12) U2481B/ U2482B Integrated Delay, Debouncing, Failure Display As soon as a comparator detects a failure, a slow upward counter is started in order to generate the delay time, tdel = 1.2 s. During consistent failure, the output stage is enabled after tdel. If the failure disappears during tdel, a fast downward counter is started in order to generate the reset time treset 135 ms. The upward counter is reset, the output stage stays disabled. Benefits: Intermittent contacts in the wire harness do not activate the pilot lamp! Even cyclical intermittent contacts are screened out as long as the pulse/pause ratio is smaller than 10:1. In the case of higher duty cycles the upward counter may reach its trigger threshold for the output activation after t > tdel. Individual delay- and reset times can be adjusted with external R/C components according to (see "oscillator") - tdel = 1930 x tosc - treset = 198 x tosc 6 (12) Latch for Brake Lamp Monitor A failure of a brake lamp detected by comparator K7 or a blown fuse in the brake circuitry is memorized after the delay time has expired. A reset of the latch can only be performed with a "poweron-reset". Output Stage The output is a PNP Darlington stage with protection diodes to VS and IC ground. The output is designed to drive an external pilot lamp with an external NPN transistor. At the end of the delay time, the output stage is switched on and can source a current of Iout = -10 mA with a typical saturation voltage of Vsat = 1 V. Test Mode With VTEST = 23 V (20 mA) applied to Pin osc, via a 200 resistor the delay time stage can be bypassed for test purposes. A failure detection will be displayed immediately to save time during threshold testing. Rev. A5, 03-Apr-01 U2481B/ U2482B Application Hints Layout Recommendations for Copper Layer Shunts Lamp-outage monitor systems can be produced most cost-efficiently if stamped shunt resistors are replaced by copper layer shunts which are generated with the pc board layout. The U2481B and the U2482B are suitable for this application because of their comparator thresholds, which are compensated in reference to the temperature characteristic of copper. A constant lamp current, ILAMP = VTh/Rsh with threshold voltage VTh = f(T) and shunt resistor Rsh = f(T), is achieved if the comparator threshold and the shunt resistor have identical temperature characteristics. With the temperature coefficient of copper acu = 3.910-3 1/K, a copper shunt changes its nominal value by 52% if the automotive ambient temperature range of tamb = -40 to +95C is taken into consideration. Two equations for calculation of the shunt resistance: Rshunt = RAL/W cn (with RA = Cu sheet resistance) Rshunt = VTh / 1/2 ILAMP Therefore, the length of copper shunt is calculated as: L = 2VThWcn / RAILAMP L = 215 mm For a reasonable pc-layout, a meander-shaped shunt resistor is recommended. The high lamp currents may cause hot spots at sharp edges of the copper shunts. That may deteriorate accuracy of the measurement. Therefore it is recommended to layout the copper shunts with smoothed curves. According to figure 4, the meander may be formed by 4 straight tracks (length LS each) and 3 connecting 180 ares (length L are each). If the mean arc radius is selected to r = Wcn the are length becomes Lare = Wcn. Therefore, the total length is Examples for sheet resistances of copper shunts (Tamb = 25C): RA = 0.5 m/square (35.1 m layer thickness) RA = 0.25 m/square (70 m layer thickness) L = 4LS + 3Lare How to Lay Out Copper Shunts (figure 4) L S 1 (L 3 W cn) 4 The width of the copper trace has to be selected in reference to a low-current-effected temperature increase. The copper trace must be capable of peak currents which do not blow the fuse. The peak currents are specified by the car manufacturers. Example: A 7.5-A fuse allows a peak current of 26 A (1 s), 15 A (10 s) or 10 A (60 s). The copper shunt length has to be calculated between the two sense connections to the comparator. The connection of the common reference input of double and triple comparators has to be considered carefully. There is calculation example for a copper shunt used with a 4-W bulb. ILAMP = 0.325 A Failure criterion: I = 1/2ILAMP 10-A fuse is capable of I = 13.5 A Copper layer thickness: 70 m Comparator threshold voltage (U2481B, U2482B): VTh = 3.5 mV Assumed copper width for temperature increase Tcu < 50C: Wcu = 2.5 mm (13.5 A, 70 m) Rev. A5, 03-Apr-01 = 4LS + 3Wcn With L = 215 mm, the track length becomes LS = 47.8 mm Using Fuses as Shunt Resistors This cost-saving method can be used if the following assumptions are fulfilled: - Each lamp needs a dedicated fuse - The fuse socket is mounted within the monitor module to connect the sense lines are suitable for this monitor - Both integrated circuits are suitable for this monitor task because of their comparator thresholds arecompensated for the fuse temperature coefficient of aF = 4.110-3 1/K Calculation Example for a 55-W Bulb and a 7.5-A fuse: Measured voltage drop across the fuse: VF = 52 mV Measured current: ILAMP = 4.2 A Calculated resistance: RF = 12.4 m Selected comparatore threshold: VTh = 1/4 VF = 13 mV (typically); With a lamp current ILAMP < VTh/RF =< 1.05 A the comparator detects a blown fuse. 7 (12) U2481B/ U2482B Wcn = 2.5 mm to lamp to lamp switch LS Larc Wcn R2 28 27 26 R1 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 94 8832 U2481B U2482B Figure 4.
