3.3.1.4. Application solution 4 – SI S-5841 solution

The SI S-5841 (SI – Seiko Instruments Inc.) series is a tem-

perature switch IC which detects a certain temperature and

sends a signal to an external device. Various combinations

of the parameters such as the detection temperature, output

form and output logic can be selected.

In package SOT-23-5, fi ve Tset

TH

temperatures are available

as factory settings (+55 °C, +65 °C, +75 °C, +85 °C, +95 °C).

The temperature hysteresis is set by the HYS1 pin (and/or

HYS2 pin), offering the choice between four values: 0 °C,

2 °C, 4 °C, 10 °C (the confi guration depends on ordering part

number and package type).

More than the previous ICs, the S-5841 series also has a

noise suppression time (t

delay

). If the temperature is lower than

the detection temperature (+TD), the DET pin is at a low level.

Although the output from the comparator goes active due to

noise if the period in which this status continues is shorter

than the noise suppression time, the DET pin keeps its low

level. However, if the period in which the output of the inter-

nal comparator is active is longer than the noise suppression

time, the DET pin is set to a high level. In case of +12 V

range supply voltage, the noise suppression time is about

1.2 –1.5 s.

In fi gure 20a, a reference schematic is shown. The maximum

operating voltage of the IC is +12 V and the open drain

output can withstand 12 V maximum. The control could be

directly used as in fi gure 20a. By the way, a safer and highly

recommended implementation is shown in fi gure 20b where

the output pin is connected to the Vset via a transistor and

the supply voltage is simply reduced by a Zener diode and a

resistor (+12 V can have a tolerance of +10 %).

LEDset APPLICATIONS

Figure 20a: Thermal protection – S-5841 solution (direct connection).

Figure 20b: Thermal protection – S-5841 solution (via output transistor and voltage regulator).

A maximum leakage current of 1 µA on the open drain output

allows the use of the IC without affecting the control accuracy

(over the Iset).

Example:

Considering a Tset

TH

of 75 °C and a hysteresis of 4 °C,

the following devices can be used:

• S-5841B75D-M5T1U (open drain) in case of direct

connection to LEDset (case a – not recommended)

• S-5841B75A-M5T1U (CMOS out) in case of connection

to LEDset via transistor (case b)

In both cases, pin 1 must be tied to Vcc (pin 4).
