ADM483
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM483 contains thermal shutdown circuitry that
protects the part from excessive power dissipation during
fault conditions. Shorting the driver outputs to a low
impedance source can result in high driver currents. The
thermal sensing circuitry detects the increase in die temp-
erature and disables the driver outputs. The thermal sensing
circuitry is designed to disable the driver outputs when a die
temperature of 150°C is reached. As the device cools, the
drivers are re-enabled at 140°C.
RECEIVER OPEN-CIRCUIT FAIL-SAFE
The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees
a logic high on the receiver when the inputs are open circuit
or floating.
