iC-HD7 is a robust line driver for industrial 5 V and
24V applications with four complementary output
channels.
For signal lines with a characteristic impedance of
30 to 140Ω the integrated line adapter, optimized
to 75 Ω, minimizes ringing effects which arise when
there is no line termination.
At a supply of 24V the push-pull driver stages typically provide 200mA to discharge the line and also
have a low saturation voltage (of typically 200mV
with a 40mA low-side load). The outputs are current
limited and short-circuit-proof, shutting down with excessive temperature.

PIN CONFIGURATION SO16N
For bus applications the driver stages can be
switched to high impedance by a high at input NEN.
The driver stage inputs have a Schmitt trigger characteristic and are compatible with CMOS and TTL
levels.
For test purposes the temperature monitor can be
deactivatedbyapplying a voltage of greater than 12V
to input NEN.
The device contains internal ESD protection circuitry.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Beyond these values damage may occur; device operation is not guaranteed. Absolute Maximum Ratings are no Operating Conditions.
Integrated circuits with system interfaces, e.g. via cable accessible pins (I/O pins, line drivers) are per principle endangered by injected
interferences,which may compromise the function or durability. The robustness of the devices has to be verified by the user during system
development with regards to applying standards and ensured where necessary by additional protective circuitry. By the manufacturer
suggested protective circuitry is for information only and given without responsibility and has to be verified within the actual system with
respect to actual interferences.

Reverse polarity and circuit protection
For reverse polarity protection electronic circuitries are
usually powered via a diode D in the supply line. Under normal operating conditions, this diode will not affectfunction of the circuitry when the additional forward
voltage drop across the diode is accounted for.
If the supply voltage V
is suddenly reversed, a
supply
load capacitor C may be still fully charged. Therefore,
the diode D has to be selected to withstand a voltage
difference of at least twice the maximum supply voltage.
Since the reverse polarity protection diode D prevents
discharging of the load capacitor C, especially at low
power consumption, injected charge through disturbances may result in capacitor voltage exceeding maximum ratings, leading to malfunction or damage of the
iC-HD7 and associated parts. Therefore EMC protection will require additional circuitry when a reverse polarity diode is used.
Figure 3 shows the iC-HD7 with the diode D for reverse
polarity protection and additional protective devices TS
and ZD.
For over-voltage protection, the suppressor diode TS
absorbs transients on the supply line, injected externally into the cable. Clamp voltage of the diode
TS should be rated slightly above maximum specified
supply voltage. To protect the driver outputs against
fast transients, additional parallel capacitors Cpin the
range of about 1nF are recommended and should be
connected from each output to ground. Further overvoltage protection elements like damping chokes, transient suppressor diodes or varistors may be needed to
comply with application specific EMC directives.
Due to capacitive crosstalk between the wires in the
cable of the supply line, additional currents may be injected into the circuitry during transients via the driver
pins of iC-HD7 connected directly to the cable. These
currents can be passed to ground or to VB by the internal ESD diodes of the iC-HD7. Whereas negative
current injection will simply be drained off to ground,
positive current injection will charge capacitor C further to higher voltages.
By introducing an additional Zener diode ZD in parallel
to capacitor C, excessive charge can be drained off,
thus limiting circuitry supply voltage to a safe value, as
shown in fig. 4.
Suggested protective devices
As stated above, diode D must withstand at least twice
the maximum operating voltage.Assuming VB
specified to be 30V, reverse voltage V
D then should be at least 60V. Current rating depends on total power consumption of the circuitry, but
of the diode

is usually below 1 amps. Therefore, typical 1 amps

of 30V, neither the suppressor diode TS nor the Zener
diode ZD should draw substantial current. Therefore,
their breakdown voltage should be chosen to be some
voltshigher. A 36 V rated suppressor diode with 1.5kW
pulse power capability like a 1N6284 or 1.5KE36 the
minimum breakdown voltage measured at a test current of 1mA is stated as 32.4 V. Also, a zener diode
like a BZT03C36 rated for 36 V also shows a minimum
breakdown voltage of 32.4V,but measured at test current of 10 mA.
