PIN FUNCTIONS
N° Name Functions
1 Alternator Voltage
Sensing
2-3 Filter Capacitor A capacitor connected between these two pins filters the feedback signal from
4 Alternator Overvoltage

5 GND This pin must be connected to ground.
6 Darlington Driver This pin drives the external darlington disabling it by shorting the current in R
7-8-9 N.C. These pins must be left floating.
10 IC Supply Voltage Supply Voltage Input
11 Oscillator Capacitor A capacitor connected to ground sets the frequency of the internal oscillator.
Connection for voltage regulation sensing. The regulation sensitivity is a
function of R1 and is given by :

the regulated output. Typically the input impedance is 15KΩ.
When this pin is left open circuit the overvoltage threshold is a described in the
specification. Typically the warning lamp is switched on when the voltage at
this pin is greater than 3.5V. This threshold can be modified with a resistor
between either the ground or pin 2.

Internally protected agains short circuits (current limiting), load dump transients
and, by means of a zener, against low energy spikes.
14 NC Not connected.
15 Phase Voltage Sensing. Connection for no charge sensing from the alternator .
The internal low threshold is typically 2.4V. By means of the external divider
R3/R4 the threshold can be adjusted to give the required sensitivity.
16 Battery Voltage Sensing Connection for Voltage Battery Sensing
This pin senses a failure of the alternator-battery lead as the voltage difference
. The external resistor R2 limits the current in overvoltage protection.
