Model 540 Voltsensor
Applications
FIGURE 6. Model 540 Connected For Current-Sourcing Mode
Figure 6 shows the connections for current-source operation.
In this mode the Model 540 is short-circuit protected for +VS of
+5V to +15V. If short-circuit and current limiting protection is
desired for +VS of +16V to +32V, a 100
2W resistor should
be connected between +Vs and pin 1. Output voltage in the
current-source mode is +V
S - (3.5V + 10
I
L). Figure 7 is a
graph of output voltage versus load current for current source
operation. Output leakage does not exceed 1 A.
FIGURE 4. Model 540 Connected For Current-Sinking Mode
The connections for current-sinking operation are shown
above in Figure 4. In this mode the Model 540 is short-circuit
protected and current-limited at 140 mA. The diode across the
output transistor protects the transistor against possible back
bias. Of the two output modes, current-sinking is more desirable
because there is less power dissipation in the low output
state. When the voltage at the NON INVERTING input is more
positive than the voltage at the INVERTING input, the IC
comparator switches to the high logic state. This causes the
output transistor to saturate, which will then energize the load.
Figure 5 is a graph of output voltage versus load current for the
saturated output transistor. Output leakage does not exceed
1 A.
