Description
The monolithic integrated bipolar circuit, U479B, is designed as a monitor for lamp fail-
ure in automobiles. The comparator threshold is matched to the PTC characteristic of
incandescent lamps. The threshold is tied to V_4,6 = V_S - V_T where V_T = 8 mV.
If the voltage drop across the shunt resistor, R_sh, exceeds 8 mV, the output is turned
off, otherwise, the output is turned on. Without supply voltage or open input pin 8, the
output is turned off. A comparator input, which is not used, must be connected to
pin 7.
