The RBO has 3 functions integrated on the same

chip.

D1 : “Diode function” in order to protect against

reversed battery operation.

T2 : “Transil function” in order to protect against

positive surge generated by electric systems

(ignition, relay. ...).

T1 : Protection againt negative surges such as

inductive overvoltages (see motor application

below).

BASIC APPLICATION

* The monolithic multi-function protection

(RBO) has been developed to protect sen-

sitive semiconductors in car electronic

modules against both overvoltage and

battery reverse.

* In addition, the RBO circuit prevents

overvoltages generated by the module from

affecting the car supply network.

In this application, one half of the motor drive circuit is supplied through the “RBO” and is thus protected

as per its basic function application.

The second part is connected directly to the “car supply network” and is protected as follows :

- For positive surges : T2 (clamping phase) and D1 in forward-biased.

- For negative surges : T1 (clamping phase) and T2 in forward-biased.
