To our customers, Old Company Name in Catalogs and Other Documents On April 1st, 2010, NEC Electronics Corporation merged with Renesas Technology Corporation, and Renesas Electronics Corporation took over all the business of both companies. Therefore, although the old company name remains in this document, it is a valid Renesas Electronics document. We appreciate your understanding.

Data Sheet S18529EJ3V0DS00 5 PD166007 FEATURES DESCLIPTION Driver Circuit (On-Off Control) The high-side output is turned on, if the input pin is shorted to ground. The input current is below IIH.

When the inductive load is switched off, the voltage of OUT falls below 0 V. The gate voltage of SW1 is then nearly equal to GND because the IS terminal is connected to GND via an external resister. Next, the voltage at the source of SW1 (= gate of output MOS) falls below the GND voltage. SW1 is turned on, and the clamp diode is connected to the gate of the output MOS, activating the dynamic clamp circuit. When the over-voltage is applied to VCC, the gate voltage and source voltage of SW1 are both nearly equal to GND. SW1 is not turned on, the clamp diode is not connected to the gate of the output MOS, and the dynamic clamp circuit is not activated.

Additional power is dissipated by the internal resister. The following is the formula for estimation of total power dissipation Pd(rev) in a reverse battery condition. Pd(rev) = Vds(rev) x IL + (VCC - Vf - Iin(rev) x Rin) x Iin(rev) + (VCC - Iis(rev) x Ris) x Iis(rev) Iin(rev) = (VCC - ( Vf +Vf,IN)) / (Rin0 + Rin) Iis(rev) = (VCC - Vf,IS) / (Ris0 + Ris) Vf,IN: Forward voltage of Vz,IN Vf,IS: Forward voltage of Vz,IS Vf: Forward voltage of parasitic diode of external input switch The reverse current through the intrinsic body diode has to be limited by the connected load. The current through sense pin IN is limited by Rin0 130 typ.. (Please refer to Current sense output). The current through input pin IS is limited by Ris0 130 typ. and external Ris. (Please refer to Driver Circuit (On-Off Control)). 12 Data Sheet S18529EJ3V0DS00 PD166007 Device behavior at low voltage condition If the voltage supply goes down, the device cannot keep a fully ON state under 4.6 V(typ.), and Von voltage is going to increase.

If the input of the CMOS device stays in the area between VIL (MAX) and VIH (MIN) due to noise, etc., the device may malfunction. Take care to prevent chattering noise from entering the device when the input level is fixed, and also in the transition period when the input level passes through the area between VIL (MAX) and VIH (MIN). 2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS Unconnected CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If an input pin is unconnected, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected to VDD or GND via a resistor if there is a possibility that it will be an output pin. All handling related to unused pins must be judged separately for each device and according to related specifications governing the device. 3 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD A strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it when it has occurred. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, a humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using insulators that easily build up static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work benches and floors should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using a wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need to be taken for PW boards with mounted semiconductor devices. 4 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION Power-on does not necessarily define the initial status of a MOS device. Immediately after the power source is turned ON, devices with reset functions have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does not guarantee output pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. A device is not initialized until the reset signal is received. A reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices with reset functions. 5 POWER ON/OFF SEQUENCE In the case of a device that uses different power supplies for the internal operation and external interface, as a rule, switch on the external power supply after switching on the internal power supply. When switching the power supply off, as a rule, switch off the external power supply and then the internal power supply. Use of the reverse power on/off sequences may result in the application of an overvoltage to the internal elements of the device, causing malfunction and degradation of internal elements due to the passage of an abnormal current. The correct power on/off sequence must be judged separately for each device and according to related specifications governing the device. 6 INPUT OF SIGNAL DURING POWER OFF STATE Do not input signals or an I/O pull-up power supply while the device is not powered. The current injection that results from input of such a signal or I/O pull-up power supply may cause malfunction and the abnormal current that passes in the device at this time may cause degradation of internal elements. Input of signals during the power off state must be judged separately for each device and according to related specifications governing the device.
