Description
The TDE/TDF1747 is a monolithic comparator designed for high current and high voltage applications, specifically to drive lamps, relays, stepping motors. These device is essentially blow-out proof. Current limiting is available to limit the peak output current to safe values, the adjustment only requires one external resistor. In addition, thermal shut down is provided to keep the I.C. from overheating. If internals dissipation becomes too great, the driver will shut down to prevent excessive heating. TDE1747 has an open ground protection. The output is also protected from shortcircuits with the positive power supply. The device operates over a wide range of supply voltages from standard ± 15 V operational amplifier supplies down to the single + 12 V or + 24 used for industrial electronic systems. This is advanced information on a new product now in development or undergoing evaluation. Details are subject to change without notice. November 1991
