ISO5852S: questions for EC table

Part Number: ISO5852S

There are two questions for EC table of the ISO5852S. please find the enclousre file. thanks.

  • Hi, Brian,

    Good to hear from you!

    For your first question, the conditions at the top of the table say the temperature is 25C.

    For your second question, the values align. The graphs are made from a single device that represents a "typical" device a customer might receive.

    The tabular data is actually an average of a number of devices, so the "typical" value there is actually a misnomer. It is actually the average value of the "n" units we measure.

    Since the plot falls within the min/max values, everything is ok.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
  • Hi Brian,

    Can you verify this answer so we can close this thread?
  • Thanks for answer.

    One more question. There are Zener diode and Schottky diode in parallel between DESAT and GND pin on the circuit.

    1. What's the purpose of these two diodes?

    2. is there any risky without these two diodes?

    Regards,

    Brian

  • Hi, Brian,

    Good to hear from you.

    The purpose of these diodes is discussed in section 10.2.2.1.

    Those two diodes prevent the voltage spikes caused during switching from damaging the IC. The parasitic inductance in the circuit will cause spikes that could damage that pin. A Schottky diode to ground is used to keep the voltage on the pin within the Absolute Maximum ratings of the DESAT pin.

    I highly recommend you add the network on the DESAT pin, otherwise there is a high likelihood the IC could become damaged.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
