SAK215 Pulse Shaper Circuit for Revolution Counters, The monolithicintegrated circult SAK215is designed for use in revolution counters of cars and for other applications like frequency to current converters. By use of suitable extemal circuitry the revolution counter can be adapted to engines with twoto eight cylinders. ltis designed for a nominal 12V DC supply. Fig. 2. shows the operating circuit of a revolution counter with FSD = 6000 RPM (two ignition pulses per turn of the crank-shatt) ata nominal battery voltage of 12 V. Dimensioning Hints Coil resistance Fy ofthe indicating instrument: ‘The output transistor must operate in the active range, This is ensured if Vee = Vr=Vo~ (ip Pu) is above 1 V, The additonal inductive voltage drop at the beginning of a curentpuise due to the inductance of the moving cali ignored in his equation. Adjustment resistor Ry; for the instrument current: ‘The peak current through the moving coil is given at a pulse duty factor of 0.7 by ha 07 where ly is the DC current for full scale deflection. Since the ‘current flowing into pin 5 is equal to the sink current of pin 6 the adjustment resistor Ry, can be caloulated as ve we bp Series resistor Py: Between pin 7 and pin 1 the circuit behaves like a zener diode. ‘The resistor Ry therefore has to be chosen so that adequate ‘current for the IC and the moving coll is available even at the lowest battery voltage: py < Yann “82V T2mA + ley By-pass resistor Rr In order to ensure proper function of the stabilizing circuit the voltage drop across the by-pass resistor Rg must be limited to 7 Vat the highest battery voltage. 7V-Ry Vona—74V Pra< 2 M™@ 4_a272) 0003483 8d) sds 1 Le Fig. 1: ‘SAK215in mini Dip plastic package similar to TO-116 20A8 according to DIN 41866 Weight approximately 0.5 Dimensions in mm Pin connections Ground, 0 Input Feedback output Feedback input Output Adjustment pin for output current ‘Stabilized supply voltage pin ‘Supply voltage Ve eVousons or le Fig. 2: Block diagram and operating circut of the SAK215 Fig. 3: Test circuit for the characteristicsSAK215 Allvoltages are referred to pin 1 Absolute Maximum Ratings ‘Symbol Value Unit ‘Supply Voltage Ve see dimensioning hints for Ry and Pris | — Input Vottage Ve #20 v Current through Instrument Coll ls 0 mA le 40 mA Power Dissipation at Ty = 65°C Pex 500 mw ‘Ambient Operating Temperature Range Th 250 +65 c ‘Storage Temperature Range Ts 2510 +125 *c Recommended Operating Conditions ‘Symbol | Min Typ.
