Description
The CA3274 is a controlled current switch and may be used in
general purpose switching applications that require speciï¬ed
maximum levels of current. The functional block diagram of
the CA3274 is shown and a typical application circuit is shown
in Figure 1. An internal emitter follower has 200mA of source
drive output capability. The Control Input is a Schmitt trigger
buffer ampliï¬er for noise immunity in the environments typical
of industrial and automotive control systems.
Current sensing in the emitter circuit of a power-darlington
output stage is fed back from a sampling resistor to the sense
input of the CA3274 which has a 335mV typical offset. For the
example shown in Figure 1, a sampling resistor of 0.056â¦
permits 6.0A (0.335/0.056) of current in the emitter of the output
driver. When the current limiter is activated, the ï¬ag output
changes state conditionally. If the control input is the â0â state,
the ï¬ag output will remain in a â1â state. If the control input is in
the â1â state and the sense input is less than the voltage
reference level of 335mV, the ï¬ag output will remain in the â1â
state. If the control input is the â1â state and the sense input is
equal to or greater than the 335mV reference level, the ï¬ag
output goes to the â0â state. The output ï¬ag switch may be used
to accurately establish dwell timing in automotive applications.
When the control input goes to â0â, the ï¬ag is reset to â1â. Noise-
immunity hold-off is used to prevent pre-triggering of the ï¬ag
output and is noted as tD in the timing diagram of Figure 2.
The ï¬ag output may be used for diagnostic feedback via the
current sense input to detect a fault mode. In this case the
sampled drive current is either from the emitter of the CA3274
internal power transistor or an external output ampliï¬er, such as
a darlington power transistor or power-FET output stage. The
CA3274 has separate power and signal grounds to minimize
transient-loop feedback to the input ground and thus prevent
false triggering of the output. Optionally, the output from the
CA3274 may be taken from the open collector (DRIVE IN) at
pin 6. An external resistor at pin 6 may be used to set the level
at which Q2 will saturate, providing additional limiting protection
for the maximum forward-drive from the CA3274.
