U4790B
Automotive Lamp-Outage Monitor, V
T
= 8 mV, V
Z(3,5)
= 22V
Description
The bipolar IC U4790B is designed as a monitor for lamp
failure in automobiles. The comparator threshold is
matched to the PTC characteristic of incandescent lamps.
The threshold is tied to a typical value of V
4,6
= V
S
鈥?V
T
where V
T
= 8 mV.
If the voltage drop across 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. An unused comparator input must be
connected to Pin 7.
