Protection Resistor on the Hi-V Path
In some Hi-V processes and designs, there may be a
parasitic SCR between HV pin, Vcc and GND. As shown
in Fig. 22, any small negative spike on the HV pin may
trigger this parasitic SCR and latchup between Vcc and
GND. It will easily damage the chip because of the
equivalent short-circuit induced.
With the Leadtrend’s proprietary Hi-V technology, there is
no such parasitic SCR in LD7750E. Fig. 23 shows the
equivalent circuit of LD7750E’s Hi-V structure. The
LD7750E has higher capability to sustain negative voltage
than similar products. Nevertheless, a 39KΩ resistor is
recommended to plant in the Hi-V path as a current limit
resistor, no matter what negative voltage is present in any
situation.
