TL3472: It breaks down when it's powered on

Hello Timsen,

I expect S1 is subject to ESD, electrostatic discharge. I see some protective elements are already implemented. What is the diode, D03, part number or type of diode? Schottky is prefered. Increasing DR12, DR13 should be helpful, resize DC5 as needed to preserve timing.

Can you measure the voltages on pins 2 and 3 when S1 is zero and pin 1 is 5V?
Is the failure symptom always the same?

Hi Timsen,

pin 3 of TL3472 isn't protected enough against input voltages which exceed the supply rails. I would increase DR12. And you could insert an additional resistance between DO3 and pin 3. Remember that only less than 1mA is allowed to flow into pin 3.

DC4 should directly sit across the supply terminals of TL3472. You can also put a 18V TVS across the supply terminals. And I would mount a TVS directly across the S1 input.

Hi Ron:
The same，now we have 5 PCS, S1 is 0V, TL3472 first leg 5 v.After replacing TL3472, the first pin output 0V is normal.Whether pin 1 is a normal 0V or a bad chip output 0V, the voltage on pins 2 and 3 is about 0V。What caused the damage？

Hi Timsen,

have you made the changes which Ron and I have recommended?

Hi
(1) this circuit collects the current through the low-resistance precision current detection resistor DR13, which is filtered by RC for the first time, and then sent to DU1A for in-phase amplification, and then output to DU1B for signal comparison.
(2) your suggestion in the email mentioned that DR12 and DR13 should be increased;As DR13 is our current detection resistance, the resistance value is currently 1.5 milliohm, which cannot be changed according to the design requirements. In the application of higher power, the DR13 resistance value needs to be smaller.
(3) since DR12 and DC5 constitute the RC filter circuit of the first level, due to the circuit response time requirements, DR12=100 ohms and DC5=10nF, the design requires a time constant within 1us;
(4) the current DD3 diode is the schottky diode, type 1SS396(TOSHIBA).
Therefore, the content of your email Suggestions seems to be in conflict with our design. In addition, please provide other Suggestions.
Thank you!

Timsen,

As Kai said, increasing resistance and changing the capacitance will preserve the response. The red 1k resistor is also very helpful because the current flow through the diode will be more; less current will flow through the op amp input. Without the resistor the spilt would be closer to 50/50 for negative input voltage.

Hi Ron/kai:
S1 signals only VS1 < 1.5 m Ω * 1 A = 1.5 mV, currently DR12 = 100 Ω,
So into the current TL3472 pin 3 is only to I = 1.5 mV / 100 Ω = 0.015 mA is far less than 1 mA, does not violate the absolute highest rating.
Your assessment method is different from mine？If not, please list the calculation process for our reference
Thank you!

Timsen,

I'm not worried about the micros amps and the millivolts. I'm more concerned about ESD, electrostatic discharge. I expect S1 node leaves the board on a connector / wire that could be subject to ESD events.

Hi Timsen,

I agree with Ron. In an industrial environment you have to consider ESD, Surge and Burst. So, hundreds and thousands of volts with varying energies and powers can hit the input of your circuit! In any case you will need a robust input filtering and protection scheme at the input of your circuit.
