Automotive Logic Output Protection
« on: May 29, 2016, 02:52:17 am »
I'm in the process of making a in circuit diagnostic tool, that uses a bank of 1.8-5V logic outputs and inputs, Now the inputs i have covered pretty easy,

But i'm a bit stuck on finding a magic do it all buffer that can output those logic levels, and also be protected against +-32V on all outputs (E.g. if output voltage exceeded go high impedance)
Output drive specs would be 1.8-5V logic with 8-15mA sink / source.

Ideally I'd like it to survive being hooked up back to front across a truck battery, (how the previous model died)

sorry but the jfet option looks to drop too much voltage to be any use here,

I did start to find the keywords i was looking for, e.g.  https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/interface/circuit-protection/MAX4505.html

His maximum on resistance is still a little high for my liking, but its a start in the right direction,

Hmm another case of always read the datasheet carefully, minimum single supply voltage is 9V,

Ok furthur looking has found better options with analog devices, looks like the 9V minimum is pretty fixed, (and there is a quirk where the positive trigger has to be between VCC and VCC-4.5V, Which means a charge pump splitting 5V to +-5V makes an ideal solution, low RSon, and a wide protection range,

I'll leave this up for any who come later,
