The TL7726 consists of six identical clamping circuits that monitor an input voltage with respect to a reference value, REF. For an input voltage (VI) in the range of GND to < REF, the clamping circuits present a very high impedance to ground, drawing current of less than 10 uA. The clamping circuits are active for VI < GND or VI > REF when they have a very low impedance and can sink up to 25 mA.
●These characteristics make the TL7726 ideal as protection devices for CMOS semiconductor devices in environments where there are large positive or negative transients to protect analog-to-digital converters in automotive or industrial systems. The use of clamping circuits provides a safeguard against potential latch-up.
●The TL7726C is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The TL7726I is characterized for operation over the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The TL7726Q is characterized for operation over the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
