CA3277
Dual 5V Regulator with Serial Data Buffer
Interface for Microcontroller Applications
Description
The CA3277 is a Dual 5V Voltage Regulator IC intended for micro-
processor and logic controller applications. It is supplied with fea-
tures that are commonly specified for sequentially controlled
shutdown and startup requirements of microcontrollers. Over-volt-
age shutdown, short circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown
features are provided for protection in the harsh environmental appli-
cations of industrial and automotive systems. The CA3277 functions
are complementary to the needs of microcontroller and memory cir-
cuits, providing for sustained memory with a 5V standby output.
The Ignition Comparator senses the voltage level at the IGN IN input
and provides a 5V logic switched output (supply sourced from
OUT1). The Ignition Output, IGN OUT can be used to signal a sys-
tem microcontroller which can respond with a logic switched output
to the CA3277 ENABLE input control for OUT2. The OUT1 +5V
Standby Supply of the regulator is normally used as a power supply
for microcontroller/memory circuits to preserve stored data when in
the standby mode.To allow for maximum heat transfer from the chip,
the four center leads are directly connected to the die mounting pad.

tions.

NOTES:
1. For negative voltages on the BATT and IGN IN inputs, current drain is primarily reverse junction leakage, except when DATA IN, CUR
OUT, ENABLE and RESET are directly connected to BATT. (Note 2)
2. For negative voltage DATA IN, CUR OUT, ENABLE and RESET interface to NPN or equivalent on-chip structures; providing a forward
junction for current conduction into the IC. Negative current must be limited by the impedance of the external connection. This is also the
case where these terminals are interconnected to BATT, Normal application does not require the BATT connection, except for DATA IN
where a series diode for reverse current blocking may be used. (see Description text information)

CRST pin is charged to approximately 3V. Normal ATE testing measures the source charging current. which is typically 10
A. For any
other value of Capacitor the charge time, t for reset is determined as follows: t

CA3277
Applications
Other functions of the CA3277 include a Data Comparator
and Current Multiplier for use as interface buffers to transfer
serial data at higher level logic to and from a remote host
microcontroller. The OUT1 5V Standby Supply provides
power to the local microcontroller which interfaces to the
CA3277 interface buffers at a 5V logic level. As shown in
Figure 1, the DATA IN input of the Data Comparator receives
serial data referenced to the BATT voltage level. The output
of the Data Comparator is 5V CMOS compatible logic and is
connected to the RDI (remote data input) terminal of the
microcontroller. The TDO (data out) output of the microcon-
troller is connected to the Current Multiplier input of the
CA3277.
Current Multiplier - The Current Multiplier, with internal cir-
cuitry shown in Figure 2, receives data from the
microcontroller in the form of an open drain or gate switched
output driving a 22K
resistor load in series to the Current
Input at pin 10 (CUR IN). The input stage of the Current Mul-
tiplier is a current mirror amplifier which is internally
connected to the 5V regulated OUT1 voltage source. The
output stage of the Current Multiplier is a current mirror
amplifier referenced to GND and has an open collector
Current Output at pin 9 (CUR OUT), with a minimum drive
capability of 35mA. The Current Multiplier output load is
normally connected via resistive loading to the BATT voltage
supply level. As such, the microcontroller transmits data out
(TDO output) to the input of the CA3277 Current Multiplier
which amplifies and translates the signal back to the voltage
reference level of the BATT power supply input. When
driving a similar remote CA3277, the voltage drop from the
BATT input line switches the Data Comparator which
provides serial data to the RDI input of the remote microcon-
troller. The nominal current gain of the Current Multiplier is
100X.
The application use of the Current Multiplier is not limited to
digital serial data transfer. The Current Multiplier is an
independent function and is open to use for other purposes,
including linear signal amplification, sensor output amplifica-
tion and current controlled threshold switching. The current
output terminal, CUR OUT may be externally load-
connected to OUT1, OUT2, BATT or any other power supply
level up to the maximum ratings given for the BATT input
terminal. It is important to note that some applied uses of the
Current Multiplier may contribute significant on-chip power
dissipation. A nominal current mirror input drive of 200
A will
provide sufficient drive to switch a 250
resistor load at the
input of the data comparator. As such, the quiescent OFF
condition of the Data comparator should be in the High state.

FIGURE 2. CURRENT MULTIPLIER DRIVING A REMOTE
CA3277 DATA COMPARATOR
Data Comparator - The Data Comparator provides a means
of translating serial data from a high to low voltage. The
DATA IN terminal of the Data Comparator is biased to
receive signal input that is source referenced to the BATT
supply voltage level. In normal use the signal input would be
supplied from a remote Current Multiplier having a resistor
load tied to the BATT voltage supply. The DATA OUT output
from the Data Comparator is CMOS compatible 5V non-
inverting logic data referenced to GND. The switching
threshold at the DATA IN input is bias stabilized by the band-
gap voltage and is typically at (V
BATT
- 2.9V). The Data
Comparator is in a high state when DATA IN input is at the
BATT voltage level and is in a low state when DATA IN is at
(V
BATT
- 5V). The output stage of the Data Comparator is
internally supply biased from the Switched 5V Regulator
output to provide a high state of 5V and a low state of 0V
(GND). The DATA OUT terminal can typically sink 1.2mA in a
low state or source 50
A in a high state.
In system applications the Data Comparator is used to
translate remote data at high voltage down to 5V logic levels.
The Current Multiplier is used to reverse the process by
translating 5V logic data back to the BATT voltage level
when sending data back to the remote system. The Data
Comparator and Current Multiplier are level matched for
remote communication between microcontroller systems
using the common BATT power supply voltage of the
CA3277. The current driven serial data from the Current
Multiplier is sent to a remote system by translating the signal
up to the BATT voltage level, or an external power supply
level that is compatible with the remote device. The Data
Comparator of the remote system receives the data,
interfaces to its microcontroller and responds with signal
drive from its Current Multiplier to translate the signal back to
the host. For best noise immunity the transmission in each
direction should be over a twisted pair or shielded line. As
such, two microcontrollers, each with the interface protection
of a CA3277, can provide intelligent master/slave system
communications under adverse environmental conditions.

Ignition Comparator - While the Ignition Comparator is pro-
vided as an essential part of the start-up control in automo-
tive systems, this circuit function may be used as an
independent switching comparator. It is important to note
that the thermal shutdown feature on the chip is dis-
abled when the IGN IN input is low. Disabling of the on-
chip thermal protection is done to satisfy the requirement of
low idle current when the system is in a standby condition.
The non-inverting IGN IN input has a switching threshold of
typically 6V with 200mV of hysteresis and is switched with
logic levels reference to GND as the low state and BATT as
the high state. The IGN OUT output is 5V CMOS compatible
logic, equivalent to the Data Comparator output stage, but is
internally supply biased from the Standby 5V Regulator. As
such, the high state is level referenced to OUT1. The IGN
OUT output terminal can typically sink 1.2mA in a low state
or source 70
A in a high state.
Enable - A CMOS or TTL high at the ENABLE input
switches the regulated 5V/Switched Output ON at OUT2.
The ENABLE input has an internal pull-down of typically
50
A to ensure that OUT2 is OFF when the ENABLE input
is not connected. The input threshold level for switching is
the bandgap voltage reference of 1.2V. When the ENABLE
input is low, all drive current to the output pass transistor is
cutoff and OUT2 voltage drops to ground level. The ENABLE
input is normally switched from the interfacing microcontrol-
ler but may be activated from a remote source.
Reset - The purpose of the Low Voltage Reset function is to
flag a low voltage condition at OUT1. When the RESET out-
put, pin 8 switches low, the voltage level at OUT1 has
dropped below the regulation level. The CRST and RESET
are high when OUT1 is at 5V. When OUT1 drops to less than
4.2V (typical), the CRST Capacitor at pin 7 is internally
discharged, causing the RESET pin to change from a high to
a low state, outputting a negative going pulse. The RESET
output is an NPN open collector driver requiring an external
load resistor, normally connected to OUT1. The RESET
output flag may be sent to a microcontroller to initiate a
power-down sequence. For any condition that causes OUT1
to drop below the reset threshold, such as undesired
transients, the RESET output is switched low for a delay
period, t
RST
determined by the value of the external
capacitor, C
RST
at CRST terminal. For a value of 0.47
F the
delay period is typically 141ms. This correlates to approxi-
mately
10
A of charging current sourced from the CRST
terminal to charge C
RST
.
Regulation - The regulated output stages of the CA3277
have similar circuits, each having an error amplifier to
compare the output voltage to the bandgap reference
voltage. The circuit of the 5V/Switched regulator is shown in
Figure 3. By feedback, the output voltage is differentially
compared to the bandgap reference voltage. The error signal
is then amplified to drive a PNP pass transistor and maintain
a stable 5V output with both line and load regulation over the
full operating temperature range. Except for the ENABLE
control of OUT2, the OUT1 drive circuit is similar to the
OUT2 circuit.
