resistors together with a programmable
overvoltage protector
(e.g. Power Innovations TISPPBL1), ser-
ving as a secondary protection.
ThePBL38630/1SLICfeaturesatertiary
two wire protection scheme.
If the secondary protection device and
the SLIC do not have their respective
grounds shorted together on the printed
circuit board, the protection resistors RP1
and RP2 (see figure 11) together with the
SLIC's internal tertiary protection circuitry,
will handle the ground voltage difference
that may occur when the secondary
protection circuitry is activated.
The TISPPBL1 is a dual forward-con-
ducting buffered p-gate overvoltage
protector. The protector gate references
theprotection(clamping)voltagetonegative
supply voltage (i e the battery voltage, VB).
As the protection voltage will track the
negative supply voltage the overvoltage
stress on the SLIC is minimized.
Positive overvoltages are clamped to
ground by a diode. Negative overvoltages
are initially clamped close to the SLIC
negative supply rail voltage and the
protector will crowbar into a low voltage on-
statecondition,byfiringaninternalthyristor.
A gate decoupling capacitor, C GG, is
needed to carry enough charge to supply a
high enough current to quickly turn on the
This voltage difference arises due to the
ground lead inductance.
Power-up Sequence
No special power-up sequence is
necessary except that ground has to be
presentbeforeallotherpowersupplyvolta-

Note that it is important to always use
PTC´s in series with resistors not sensitive
to temperature, as the PTC will act as a
capacitanceforfasttransientsandtherefore
will not protect the SLIC.

Care in PCB layout is essential for proper
function. The components connecting to
the RSN input should be placed in close
proximitytothatpin, sothatnointerference
is injected into the RSN pin. Ground plane
surrounding the RSN pin is advisable.
Analog ground (AGND) should be
connected to battery ground (BGND) on
the PCB in one point.
