General Description
The Supertex HV9901 is a BiCMOS/DMOS universal relay
driver that employs PWM switching techniques. It is designed for
efficient and energy-saving operation of a low voltage relay with
supply voltages ranging from 8 to 450V DC through utilization of
the relay coils’ inductance.
The circuit is capable of operating over a wide input voltage
range without requiring a change of any external components.
For example, this will enable users to use 5V coil relays for DC
voltages 8 - 450V or AC voltages up to 240V.
The HV9901 has an internal high-voltage regulator to power
internal PWM circuitry. Additionally it includes an adjustable
auxiliary regulator with a 1mA capability that can be used to
supply low power microcontrollers.
The pull-in current, pull-in time and hold current are all program-
mable using only two resistors and a capacitor. The PWM
switching frequency can be either
– Synchronized to an external clock, or
– Synchronized to other HV9901s, where the synchronized
frequency is the highest free-running frequency
The enable (ENI) logic input is used to turn the relay on/off.
Enable polarity may be selected via the POL input. Audible noise
is prevented using fixed switching frequencies above 20kHz.
WARNING!!! Galvanic isolation is not provided. Dangerous voltages are
present when connected to the AC line. It is the responsibility of the designer
to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect the end user from
electrical shock.
