Functional Description

Pin 1, GND

The integrated circuit is protected against damage via resistor R4 to ground (±31) in the case of battery reversal. An integrated protection circuit together with external resistances R2 and R4 limits the current pulses in the IC.

Pin 2, Supply voltage, VS - Power

The arrangement of the supply connections to Pin 2 must be so as to ensure that, on the connection printed circuit board (PCB), the resistance of VS to Pin 6 is lower than that to Pin 2.

Pin 3, Relay control output (driver)

The relay control output is a high-side driver with a low saturation voltage and capable to drive a typical automotive relay with a minimum coil resistance of 60 .

Pin 4 and 5 Oscillator

Flashing frequency, f1, is determined by the R1C1 components as follows (see figure 1):

In the case of a lamp outage (see Pin 7) the oscillator frequency is switched to the lamp outage frequency f2 with f2 2.2 f1.

mized layer resistance from point VS / shunt to Pin 6 is recommended.

Pin 7, Lamp outage detection

The lamp current is monitored via an external shunt resistor R3 and an internal comparator K1 with its reference voltage of typ. 81 mV (VS = 12 V). The outage of one lamp out of two lamps is detected according to the following calculation:

Nominal current of 1 lamp: 21 W / (VS = 12 V):

Ilamp = 1.75 A

Nominal current of 2 lamps: 2 x 21 W / (VS = 12 V):

Ilamp = 3.5 A.

The detection threshold is recommended to be set in the

middle of the current range: Ioutage 2.7 A Thus the shunt resistor is calculated as:

R3 = VT (K1) / Ioutage

R3 = 81 mV/2.7 A = 30 m .

Comparator K1`s reference voltage is matched to the characteristics of filament lamps (see ªcontrol signal thresholdº in the data part).

The combination of shunt resistor and resistance of wire harness prevents Pin 7 from a too high voltage in the case of shorted lamps.

Pin 8, Start input

Start condition for flashing: the voltage at Pin 8 has to be below K3 threshold (flasher switch closed).

Humidity and dirt may decrease the resistance between 49 a and GND. If this leakage resistance is 5 k the IC is still kept in its off-condition. In this case the voltage at Pin 8 is between the thresholds of comparators K2 and K3.

During the bright phase the voltage at Pin 8 is above the K2 threshold, during the dark phase it is below the K3 threshold. For proper start conditions a minimum lamp wattage of 1 W is required.
