Description
The bipolar U4793B is designed to monitor overload or a short circuit in automotive or
industr ia l appli catio ns. The thres hold is tied to V4,6 = VS - VT where VT= 44.5 mV. It is
independent of the sup ply voltage, VS. If the voltage drop across shunt resistor, Rsh,
exceeds this value, the output is turned on, otherwise the output is turned off.
Without s up ply voltage or ope n i npu t Pi n 8, the out put is turne d off. The ou tpu t br ea k-
down v oltage is determined by the Z-diodes Z3 and Z5 with a typical value of VZ=22V.
An unused comparator input must be connected to Pin 7.
