HIGH PERFORMANCE CLAMPING AT GROUND AND POSITIVE REFERENCE VOLTAGE FAST ACTIVE CLAMPING OPERATING RANGE 4.75 - 5.25 V SINGLE VOLTAGEFOR SUPPLY AND POSITIVE REFERENCE LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT LOW INPUT LEAKAGE CURRENT DESCRIPTION The L9700 is a monolithic circuit which is suited for input protection and voltage clamping purpose. The limiting function is referred to ground and the positive supply voltage. One single element contains six independentchannels. Very fast speed is achieved by internal feedback and the application of a new vertical PNP-transistor with isolated collector.

These transients occur in large numbers and with different magnitudes in the automotive environment, making adequate protection for devices aimed at it indispensible. Overvoltages on the supply line are faced through high voltage integration technologies or through external protection (transil, varistor). Signal inputsare generally protected using clampdiodes to the supply and ground, and a current limi-ter resistor. However, such solutions do not always completely satisfy the protection specifications in terms of intervention speed, negative clamping and current leakage high enough to change analog signals. The L9700 device combines a high intervention speed with a high precision positive and negative clamp and a low current leakage providing the optimal solution to the problems of the automotive environment. The high intervention speed, due to the pre-bias of the limiter stage and internal feedback, limits the voltage overshoot and avoid the use of external capacitors for the limitation of the transient rise times. Figure 3 illustrates a typical automotive application scheme. The resistor RS limits the input current of the device and is therefore dimensioned considering the characteristics of the transients to be eliminated. Consequently : RS = Vtransient Peak IIN MAX The CIN capacitors must be used only on analog inputs because they present a low impedance during the sampling period. 4/7 L9700 Figure 3 : Typical Application. The minimum value for CIN is determined by the accuracy required, the time taken to sample the input and the input impedance during that time, while the maximum value is determined by the required frequency response and the value of RS. Thus for a resistive input A/D connector where : TS = Sample time (Seconds) RD = Device input resistance (Ohms) VIN = Input voltage (Volts) k = Required accuracy (%) Q1 = Charge on capacitor before sampling Q2 = Charge on capacitor after sampling ID = Device input current (Amps) Thus : k ⋅ Q1 Q1– Q2 = 100 but and so that and so Q1 = CIN VIN Q1– Q2 = ID – TS ID TS = CIN CIN k ⋅ CIN – VIN 100 ID ⋅ TS (min) = Farad VIN ⋅ k 100 ⋅ TS (min) = Farad k ⋅ RD The calculationfor a sample and hold type convertor is even simpler : k = Required accuracy (%) CH = Hold capacitor (Farad) CIN (min) = 100 ⋅ CH Farad k 5/7 L9700 MINIDIP PACKAGE MECHANICAL DATA DIM.
