1. Description
The bi-polar long-term timer U6046B is designed to automatically limit the operation
time of high loads in the harsh automotive environment with a preset delay time. With
the power-on-reset function the timers guarantee that current consuming devices are
not operated unintentionally.
The delay time can be interrupted manually, but a retrigger function is not provided.

3. Functional Description
3.1 Power Supply (Pin 8)
For reasons of interference protection and surge immunity, the supply voltage (pin 8) must be
provided with an RC circuit as shown in Figure 3-1. Dropper resistor, R1, limits the current in
case of overvoltage, whereas C1 smooths the supply voltage at pin 8.
Recommended values are: R1 = 510, C1 = 47 µF.
The integrated Z-diode (14V) protects the supply voltage, VS. Therefore, the operation of the IC
is possible between 6V and 16V, supplied by VBatt.
However, it is possible to operate the integrated circuit with a 5V supply, but it should be free of
interference voltages. In this case, pin 7 is connected to pin 8 as shown in Figure 3-2 on page 4,
and the R1C1 circuit is omitted.

3.2 Oscillator (Pin 6)
The external components R2 and C2 determine the oscillator frequency. The capacitor C2 is
charged by R2 and discharged by an integrated 2-k resistor.
A stable oscillator frequency with minimal influence of the temperature coefficient of the inte-
grated resistor is achieved with R2 >> 2 k.
Oscillator frequency, f, is calculated as follows:
where
t1 = charge time = α1 × R2 × C2
t2 = discharge time = α2 × 2 k × C2
α1 and α2 are constants as such
α1 = 0.833 and α2 = 1.551 when C2 = 470 pF to 10 nF
α1 = 0.746 and α2 = 1.284 when C2 = 10 nF to 4700 nF
The debounce time, t3, and the delay time, td, depend on the oscillator frequency, f, as follows:
Table 6-1 on page 10 shows relationships between t3, td, C2, R2 and frequencies from 1 Hz to 20
kHz.

3.3 Relay Control Output (OUT)
The relay control output is an open-collector Darlington circuit with an integrated 23-V Z-diode to
limit the inductive cut-off pulse of the relay coil. The maximum static collector current must not
exceed 300 mA and saturation voltage is typically 1.1V at 200 mA.
3.4 Interference Voltages and Load-dump
The lC supply is protected by R1, C1, and an integrated Z-diode, while the inputs are protected
by a series resistor, integrated Z-diode and RF capacitor (see Figure 3-6 on page 8).
The relay control output is protected via the integrated 23-V Z-diode in the case of short interfer-
ence peaks. It is switched to a conductive condition for a battery voltage of greater than
approximate 40V in the case of a load-dump. The output transistor is dimensioned so that it can
withstand the current produced.
3.5 Power-on Reset
When the operating voltage is switched on, an internal power-on reset pulse (POR) is generated
which sets the logic of the circuits to a defined initial condition. The relay output is disabled.

3.6 Relay Control Output Behavior (Pin 2)
Time functions (relay output) can be started or interrupted by the three inputs i.e., ON, OFF or
TOGGLE (pins 3, 4 and 5).
The relay becomes active if the time function is triggered, and the relay contact is interrupted
after the elapse of delay time, td. There are two input possibilities:
3.6.1 Toggle Input
When the push-button (TOGGLE) switch, S1, is pressed for the first time, the relay becomes
active after the debounce time, t3, i.e., the relay output, pin 2, is active (see Figure 3-3 on page
5).
Renewed operation of S1 causes the interruption of the relay contact and the relay is disabled.
Each operation of the toggle switch, S1, changes (alters) the condition of the relay output when
the debounce time, t3, is exceeded i.e., the TOGGLE function.
If the relay output is not disabled by pressing the switch S1, the output is active until the delay
time, td, is over.
3.6.2 ON, OFF Inputs (Pins 3 and 4)
To avoid simultaneous operation of both inputs, pin 3 (ON) and pin 4 (OFF), use of two-way con-
tacts with a centre-off position with spring returns (also known as rocker-actuated switch) is
recommended (see Figure 3-4 on page 7).
Pressing the push-button switch (pin 3-ON) leads to the activation of the relay after the
debounce time, t3, whereas the switching of the pin 4 switch correspondingly leads to the relay
being de-energized. If the relay is not de-energized by the push-button switch, it becomes dis-
abled after the delay time, td, is over.
Combined operation, TOGGLE and ON/OFF is not possible because both inputs are connected
to the same debounce stage. Debouncing functions on both edges i.e., whenever S1 is ON or
OFF.
If pin 3 (input ON) is continuously closed, the delay time, td, still elapses and the relay is inter-
rupted. This can be used to generate a defined power-on-reset pulse to trigger, for example, a
delay time, td, when the battery voltage, VBatt, is applied.
Figure 3-6 on page 8 shows the input circuit of U6046B. It has an integrated pull-down resis-
tance (20 k), RF capacitor (15 pF) and Z-diode (7V). It reacts to voltages greater than 2V. The
external protective resistor has a value of 20 k and the push-button switch, S, is connected to
the battery as shown in the diagram.
Contact current, I, is calculated as follows:
