D2PAK

Description The bipolar triple stage darlington BIP172 especially developed to drive an ignition coil in automotive ignition circuits can be driven by standard CMOS logic. The rugged bipolar process assures safe operation in

Current limiting bipolar igniter with low saturation voltage

Customer benefits: Excellent system know-how Smart concepts for system safety Secured supply Long- term availability of manufacturing processes and products QS9000 and ISO/TS16949 certified

automotive specific environment even under harsh conditions. The excellent quality of the concept - chip design and plastic packaging - has been proven in the field over 10 million times. Due to the ESD performance, typical for HV-bipolar devices special precautions during manufacture or operation are unnecessary. The BIP172 has an active voltage clamp between collector and emitter. It is temperature compensated with an accuracy of about 30 V in the entire temperature range. In order to protect the ECU, the wire harness, the coil and the igniter the collector current is limited to typ. 10 A at long dwell times. Using a virtual sense concept a low saturation voltage of less than 2 V at 7 A in the entire temperature range has been obtained.

Features Triple stage darlington designed for automotive ignition application Driven by standard CMOS logic with very low power consumption in the driving circuit Input protected against VBAT Internal CE voltage clamp, temperature compensated Collector current limiting circuit Low saturation voltage (<2 V at 7 A in the entire temperature range) Integrated capacitors for oscillation free operation Package: TO220 and D2PAK
