Features
q
Lower open-loop current consumption;
I
S
< 1 mA
q
Lower output saturation voltage
q
The temperature dependence of the switching
distance is lower and compensation of the resonant
circuit
TC
(temperature coefficient) is easier
q
The sensitivity is higher, so that larger switching
P-DSO-8-1
distances are possible and coils of a lower quality can
be used
q
The switching hysteresis remains constant as regards
temperature, supply voltage and switching distance
q
The TCA 305 even functions without external
integrating capacitor. With an external capacitor (or
with RC combination) good noise immunity can be
achieved
q
The outputs are temporarily short-circuit proof (approx.
10 s to 1 min depending on package)
q
The outputs are disabled when
V
S
< approx. 4.5 V and
P-DIP-14-1
are enabled when the oscillator stabilizes
(from
V
S min
= 5 V)
q
Higher switching frequencies can be obtained

Pin Configurations
(top view)
The devices TCA 305 and TCA 355 contain all the functions necessary to design inductive
proximity switches. By approaching a standard metal plate to the coil, the resonant circuit is
damped and the outputs are switched.
Operation Schematic: see TCA 205
The types TCA 305 and TCA 355 have been developed from the type TCA 205 and are out-
standing for the following characteristics:

Operation at voltages less than 5 V (between approx. 2.5 and 5 V) is possible, if
V
REF
is connected to
V
S
. In
this case
V
REF
is no longer internally stabilized. Additionally, the pin "turn-on delay" is to be applied as follows:
If no turn-on delay is needed, this pin has to be connected to
V
S
. If, however, a turn-on delay is required, the
charge current for
D
D
has to be adjusted with an external resistor between this pin and
V
S
(recommended
value 390 k
Ω
).
