On/Off Control
The on/off control is achieved by using the on/off pin on the input
side of LS460. The circuit for the remote on/off circuitry consists
of an active low TTL switch. When the circuit is open, the V(in)
is cut off. When the circuit is closed, V(in) is activated. A mechani-
cal switch or a TTL/CMOS gate needs to be placed between the
remote on/off pin and ground creating a condition where the cir-
cuit is closed to activate the inverter. Either one of the following will
be required for the inverter to operate:
One recommended use of logic switch for remote on/off is shown
in the diagram below. Electrical specification for on/off terminal is
Low 0 to 0.4V, -0.4 mA or higher when switch is closed.

1. Tie on/off pin to ground.
2. Add mechanical switch between on/off pin and ground, close switch.
3. Add TTL/CMOS switch between on/off and ground. Circuit must be closed for
unit to operate (as shown above right).

Tech Notes
Brightness Control Using a Potentiometer
The LS460 brightness control is done by applying a DC bias of 0
to 2.5V to the brightness control pins. Unlike the single tube invert-
ers like the LS380s, brightness control for dual tube inverters can-
not be accomplished with a potentiometer. The reason for this is
that the LS460 has a voltage follower, or a sub-regulator built into
the unit to synchronize both outputs. This voltage follower compen-
sates for resistive load to the brightness control circuitry.
However, by using a voltage separator circuit consisting of a poten-
tiometer, a virtual brightness control by potentiometer can be
achieved.
Note that current which will run between the brightness
control pin will be in a trivial 3.0µA range.
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
By using the MIL-HDBK 217E Condition Ground Benign
method, the MTBF for the LS460 is calculated at 787,407
hours.
