Question

TDE1747 Input terminals reflecting supply voltage

Hello,

I built a test circuit similar to one provided in the TDE1747 datasheet (Figure 3). During testing, I observed that immediately after powering on, the power supply voltage appears at both inverting and noninverting terminal of the IC. This behaviour is consistent across two different TDE174 ICs.

Could you please help identify the possible root cause of this issue?

 

Thank You.

How "similar" ?

Please show the actual circuit that you used.

Also some good, clear photos of how you implemented it.

How, exactly, did you observe that?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Hello Andrew Neil,

Thanks for the reply, The exact scenario is explained below. I hope it will help you.

The implementation circuit is exactly same as shown below.

The values used are as follows:

- Rsense: 1.2ohm

- Rload: 280ohm

- Reference voltage at inverting terminal is set to 1.95V (VCC: 28V, Rtop: 100kohm , Rbottom: 7.5lohm)

Test execution procedure is as follows:

1. Turned on the supply

2. Probed to check whether reference voltage is generated properly or not. Then probed the output and observed that output voltage is 28V (expected was 0V).

3. Then applied the input voltage (5V) greater than vref (1.95) at Non-Inv terminal and observed that the reference voltage is shifted to 6V and output voltage is 28V.
