DRIVER EMITTER
OUTPUT
Current Driver for the External Darlington. To ensure stability and precision
of T
desat
C
c
and R
9
must be used. Recommended value for R
9
is 2 K
in
order not to change the open loop gain of the system.
R
c
may be added to C
c
to obtain greater flexibility in various application
situations.
C
c
and R
c
values ranges are 1 to 100 nF and 5 to 30 K
depending on the
external darlington type.
The darlington is protected against overvoltage by means of an internal
zener available at this pin and connected to pin 14. The internal divider
R

DRIVER COLLECTOR
INPUT
The collector current of the internal driver which drives the external
darlington is supplied through this pin. Then the external resistor R
6
limits
the maximum current supplied to the base of the external darlington.
