The CS294 is an AC outlet ground
fault interrupter controller IC. The
IC detects the presence of hazardous grounding conditions and
open circuits the AC line before a
dangerous shock can occur.
The CS294 contains an operational
amplifier, an SCR driver and a 24V
zener shunt regulator. Two sense
coils, a bridge rectifier, a relay and
an SCR are required as external
components. The completed interrupter circuit can detect and protect
against both hot wire to ground
faults and neutral wire to ground
faults.
The CS294 is built on a 30V bipolar
process and is available in 8 lead
DIP packages.

The VFBpin is the inverting input to the on-chip operational
amplifier.
2 Filter The Filter pin is the non-inverting input to the on-chip opera-
tional amplifier.
3 Signal Common The Signal Common pin connects to +VS/2, to a 20k½ resistor
tied to VFBand to a 10k½ resistor tied to Filter.
4 Gnd The Gnd pin is the power return terminal
5 SCR Trigger The SCR Trigger pin drives the silicon controlled rectifier dur-
ing fault conditions. An internal 4.7k½ resistor between this pin
and Gnd holds the SCR off in non-fault conditions.
6+VSThe +VSpin is the power input to the IC.
