NOTES:
1. Output Transient Currents are controlled by on-chip limiting for each output. Under short-circuit conditions with voltage applied to the
collector of the output transistor and with the output transistor turned ON, the current will increase to 1.2A, typical. Over-Current Limiting
protects a short circuit condition for a normal operating range of output supply voltage. During a short circuit condition, the output driver
will shortly thereafter (approximately 5ms) go into Over-Temperature Shutdown. While Over-Current Limiting may range to peak cur-
rents as high as 1.6A, each output will typically withstand a direct short circuit at normal single battery supply levels. Excessive dissi-
pation before thermal shutdown occurs may cause damage to the chip for supply voltages greater than 16V. When sequentially
switched, the outputs are rated to withstand peak current, cold turn-on conditions of lamp loads such as #168 or #194 lamps.
2. The total DC current with all 4 outputs ON should not exceed the total of (4 x 0.7A + Max. I
CC
)
~
2.85A. This level of current will signif-
icantly increase the chip temperature due to increased dissipation and may cause thermal shutdown in high ambient temperature con-
ditions (See Absolute Maximum Ratings for Dissipation). Any one output may be allowed to exceed 0.7A but may be subject to Over-
Current Limiting above the I
LIM
minimum limit of 0.7A. No single output should be loaded to more than Over-Current Limiting above
the I
LIM
minimum limit of 0.7A. As a practical limit, no single output should be loaded to more than 1A maximum.
3. The PLCC and SOIC packages have power lead frame construction through the ground pins to conduct heat from the frame to the PC
Board ground area. Thermal resistance,
θ
JA
is given for a surface mount of the 28 lead PLCC and the 28 lead SOIC packages on a 1 oz.
copper PC board with minimal ground area and with a 2 square inches of ground area.
4. I
CEX
is the static leakage current at each output when that output is OFF (ENABLE Low). Refer to the Figure 3 illustration of an output
stage. The value of I
CEX
is both the leakage into the output driver and a pull-down current sink, I
O(SINK)
. The purpose of the current
sink is to detect open load conditions.
5. The I
OL
value of “Output Low Current, I
F(SINK)
” at the FAULT pin is both the static leakage of the output driver Q
F
and the current sink,
I
F(SINK)
. The current sink is active only when a fault exists. When no fault exists, the I
OH
current at the FAULT pin is the maximum
leakage current, I
F(LK)
. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of the FAULT output and associated external components. Refer to FAULT
LOGIC TABLE for Fault Modes.
6. The Voltages, V
HTHD
, V
LTHD
are the comparator threshold reference values (Min. and Max. Range) sensed as a high and low state
transitions for voltage forced at the outputs. V
HTHD
indicates an open load fault when the output is decreased to less than the threshold.
V
LTHD
indicates a shorted load when the output is increased greater than the threshold. The output voltage is changed until the FAULT
pin indicates a Low (Fault). Refer to Figure 2 for test value of external resistor. Refer to I

CA3292A: Outputs limited to the V

voltage by the internal collector-to-base Zener diode and output transistor clamp.
8. The single pulse clamp energy rating for the CA3292A is defined over a range of operating conditions. The Clamp Energy is a function
of the Load Inductance, Load Resistance, Clamp Voltage, Supply Voltage, the Saturated ON Resistance (V
SAT
) and the Steady State
Load Current at the instant of Turn-OFF. Refer to Figure 5 for the Safe Operating Area when driving inductive loads. Rating limits for
Energy vs Single Pulse Width Time are plotted for different coil values. Refer to Application Note - AN9416 for pulse energy calculation
methods.

CA3272A, CA3292A
Applications
The CA3272A and CA3292A are quad-gated inverting low-
side power drivers with a fault diagnostic flag output. Both
circuits are rated for 125
o
C ambient temperature applica-
tions and have current limiting and thermal shutdown. While
functionally similar to the CA3262AQ, they differ in the mode
of over-voltage protection and have the added feature of a
FAULT flag output. Also, as shown in Figure 1, the inputs to
channels A, B, C, D and ENABLE have internal pulldowns to
turn “OFF” the outputs when the inputs are floating.

The Fault Logic circuit, as shown in the Block Diagram for
the CA3292A, applies to both the CA3272A and CA3292A.
The Fault Sense circuits do not override or control the power
switching circuits of the IC. Their primary function is to pro-
vide an external diagnostic fault flag output. Each Power
Switching Channel has diagnostic fault sensing input to the
Fault Logic. The Fault Logic block of the functional Block Dia-
gram illustrates the logic functions associated with Fault
detection. The diagnostic output for each of the four channels
of switching is processed through the fault logic circuit associ-
ated with each channel. It is then passed to an OR gate
which controls the FAULT flag output transistor, Q
F
thru A 2
input AND gate.

FIGURE 1. SCHEMATIC OF ONE INPUT STAGE
As noted in the Block Diagrams, the CA3292A is equivalent
to the CA3272A except that it has internal clamp diodes on
the outputs to handle inductive switching pulses from the
output load. The structure of each CA3292A output includes
a Zener diode from collector-to-base of the output transistor.
This is a different form of protection from other quad drivers
with current steering clamp diodes on each output, paired to
one of two “CLAMP” output pins. The CA3292A output tran-
sistor will turn-on at the Zener diode clamp voltage threshold
which is typically 32V and the output transistor will dump the
pulse energy through the output driver to ground.
Each output driver is capable of switching 600mA load currents
and operate at 125
o
C ambient temperature without interaction
between the outputs. The CA3272A and CA3292A can drive
four incandescent lamp loads without modulating their brilliance
when the “cold” lamps are energized. The outputs can be con-
nected in parallel to drive larger loads. Over-current or short cir-
cuit output load conditions are fault protected by current limiting
with a typical limit value of 1.2A. The current limiting range is
set for 0.6A to 1.6A. The output stage does not change state
(oscillate) when in the current limit mode.

AS FAULT SINK PULLDOWN CURRENT, WHICH IS
ACTIVATED BY TRANSISTOR, Q
F
, WHEN A FAULT
EXISTS
The ENABLE input is common to each of the 4 power
switches and also disables the FAULT flag output at the
2 input AND gate when it is low. The Fault Logic circuit
senses the IN and OUT states and switches Q
F
“ON” if a
fault is detected. Transistor Q
F
activates a sink current
source to pull-down the FAULT pin to a 0 (low) state when
the fault is detected. Both shorted and open load conditions
are detected.
It is normal for thermal shutdown and current limiting to
occur sequentially during a short circuit fault condition. A
precaution applies for potential damage from high transient
dissipation during thermal shutdown. (See Note 1 following
the Electrical Specifications Table).
Each of the outputs are independently protected with over-
current limiting and over-temperature shutdown with thermal
hysteresis. If an output is shorted, the remaining outputs
function normally unless the temperature rise of the other
output devices can be made to exceed their shutdown tem-
perature of 165
o
C typical. When the junction temperature of
a driver exceeds the 165
o
C thermal shutdown value, that
output is turned off. When an output is shutdown, the result-
ing decrease in power dissipation allows the junction tem-
perature to decrease. When the junction temperature
decreases by approximately 15
o
C, the output is turned on.
Any one output that faults (see Fault Logic Table) will switch the
FAULT output at pin 1 to a constant current pull-down.
