摘要:
A universal-voltage discrete input circuit uses a high voltage depletion-mode field effect transistor in combination with a low-voltage, adjustable precision shunt regulator and an isolation circuit for interfacing a low voltage digital logic circuit to a switched external voltage ranging from about 7 volts to about 1000 volts AC or +/− DC, at a low fixed current. In addition to the wide input voltage range accepted at a uniform low current value, very high voltage isolation is provided between the external voltage and the low voltage digital logic circuit, and elimination of ground loops and common mode noise.

A second PNP bipolar transistor has an emitter coupled to the drain of the first p-channel MOS transistor through a second resistor in series with a third resistor, and a collector and a base both coupled to ground. The gate of the first n-channel MOS transistor is coupled to a common node between the second and third resistors. A third n-channel MOS transistor has a drain coupled to the drain of the first p-channel MOS transistor, a source coupled to ground through a fourth resistor, and a gate coupled to either a reference potential or to the common node between the second and third resistors.

A current reference (10) includes first and second connected resistors (R1 and R2), a voltage source (12) independent of a supply voltage (Vdd). The voltage source is applied to the first and second resistors (R1 and R2) and has a positive temperature coefficient (TC). The first resistor (R1) has a TC less than the voltage source (12) TC and the second resistor (R2) has a TC greater than the voltage source (12) TC. A resistance value of each of the first and second resistors is set such that a combined TC of the first and second resistors is essentially equal to the voltage source (12) TC such that the current reference (10) produces a current essentially independent of a temperature of the current reference (10) and the supply voltage (Vdd).
摘要:
Ausgehend von dem bekannten Prinzip des "Sense"-FET wird zwischen dem Meßausgang und einem an Masse liegenden Meßwiderstand (5) ein steuerbarer Widerstand (6) angeschlossen. Sein Widerstandswert wird immer so eingestellt, daß die Drain-Sourcespannungen von Leistungs-FET einander (1)und "Sense"-FET (2) gleich sind. Damit wird erreicht, daß der Meßstrom dem Laststrom unabhängig von der Größe der Last proportional ist.
