Hall Sensor Protection from Supply Transients
If the V
BAT
voltage is lower than 6V or exceeds 18V,
IN1 and IN2 shut off current to both Hall sensors and
ERR, OUT1, and OUT2 go low. When V
BAT
returns to
the proper range, both IN1 and IN2 restart, following a
blanking cycle.
Hall Inputs Open Condition
If either IN1 or IN2 is open (I
IN
< 2mA), the correspond-
ing input shuts off current to the Hall sensor. If IN1 or
IN2 is loaded, it exits the open input fault condition and
restarts the corresponding Hall input, following a blank-
ing cycle.
Hall Input Shorted to Battery
If either IN1 or IN2 is shorted to the battery (V
IN
> V
BAT
+ 100mV), the MAX9921 shuts off current to the corre-
sponding Hall sensor. In this case, if IN1 or IN2 is more
than 1V above V
BAT
, it may back-drive current into
BAT. In such a condition, the current level in the Hall
input should not exceed 100mA. Therefore, all the
MAX9921s together can share a separate reverse-
polarity protection diode to avoid powering up other cir-
cuitry sharing a common diode (Figure 4).
