This leads to a hysteresis characteristic so that the loaddump detection is switched off again only at V
In this case the short–circuit protection is not in operation.

Output Slope Control
The rise and fall time (t
, tf) of the lamp voltage can be

limited to reduce radio interference. This is done with an
integrator which controls a power MOSFET as source
follower. The slope time is controlled by an external
capacitor C4 and the oscillator current (see figure 2).

In the event of voltages of approximately V

the external FET is switched off and the latch for shortcircuit detection is reset.
A hysteresis ensures that the FET is switched on again at
approximately V
5.4 V.

Pin 2, GND
Ground-Wire Breakage
To protect the FET in the case of ground-wire breakage,
a 820-kW resistor between gate and source is recommended to provide proper switch-off conditions.
Pin 3, Control Input
The pulse width is controlled by means of an external
potentiometer (47 kW). The characteristic (angle of
rotation/duty cycle) is linear. The duty cycle can be varied
from 0 to 100%. To avoid inadmissibly high filament cold
currents, the dimmer is switched off at duty cycles of
approximately < 10% or is switched on only at duty
cycles of approximately > 13% (hysteresis). It is possible
to further restrict the duty cycle with the resistors R
2 (8)
and
1
A 100-W resistor in series to C4 is recomended to damp
device oscillations (see figure 2).
Pin 4, Oscillator
The oscillator determines the frequency of the output
. It is

voltage. This is defined by an external capacitor, C
charged with a constant current, I, until the upper
switching threshold is reached. A second current source
is then activated which taps a double current, 2I, from
the charging current. The capacitor, C
, is thus discharged

by the current, I, until the lower switching threshold is
reached. The second source is then switched off again and
the procedure starts again.

A selection of different values of C2 and C4, provides a

2. Current Limitation
The lamp current is limited by a control amplifier to protect the external power transistor. The voltage drop across
an external shunt resistor acts as the measured variable.
Current limitation takes place for a voltage drop of
[100 mV. Owing to the difference
V

V

10 mV it is ensured that current limitation
[
occurs only when the short circuit detection circuit has
responded.
After a power-on reset, the output is inactive for an half
oscillator cycle. During this time, the supply voltage
capacitor can be charged so that the current limitation is
guaranteed in the event of a short circuit when the IC is
switched on for the first time.
Pins 7 and 8, Charge Pump and Output

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments (1990 ) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and
forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban
on these substances.
TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of
continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain
such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized
application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of,
directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or
