Transient protection

1. Keep V

2. Connect a filter capacitor close to the circuit. Recommended filter capacitor between V

tantalum type. A ceramic capacitor in parallel will improve high frequency decoupling. Typical values range from

0.002

µF to 0.1 µF. In an application having a highly stable supply and short power leads to the driver a low

leakage electrolytic type can be used, which is less expensive.

3. Connect Input and Error via pull-up resistors to the appropriate logic supply level or V

immunity. See figure 11. The resistor R

sinking capacity of the controlling device output.

4. If several supply voltages are to be used, prefere a supply having separate ground leads. In this case the logic

ground and the power ground should be connected together at only one point, the ground pin of the driver.

Switch mode applications

The internal diodes are normally sufficient for clamping of transients caused by inductive load turn off. External

diodes may be necessary in PWM/switch mode applications, and when the terminals are externally accessible and

thereby exposed to an electrically noisy environment. Recommended diodes are BYV27/100,

BYV98/100, UF4001 or similar types with a t

Error indication signal

When the circuit is switched on/off, a short pulse (t

This is a correct detection of an incorrect level during the rise and fall times of the output voltage. Consequently the

Error output should not be detected when switching on and off. An alternative is to low-pass filter at the Error output

at around 100 kHz.

Heat sinking

NJM3545N is packaged in a 5-pin TO 220 power package. The circuit GND is connected to the heat sink tab.

External heatsinking is achieved by mounting the package to a heat sink.
