U243B
Warning or Car-Direction Indicator
Technology: Bipolar Features
D Can be protected against damage or interference with
a minimum of external circuitry
D Voltage dependence of the car indicator lamps also
compensated for lamp failure
D Temperature- and voltage-compensated frequency D Warning indication of lamp failure by means of
frequency doubling
D Relay output with high-current carrying capacity and
low saturation voltage

Preliminary Information
U243B
Circuit Description
The application circuit shows the operation of the U243B as a car-direction indicator signal generator. The flashing frequency is determined by the components Rt and Ct, and the frequency can be calculated from f1 The use of this application circuit ensures damage and interference protection accordance to VDE 0839. The recognition point for lamp failure can be calculated from the control signal threshold, typically 81 mV with VS = 12 V.

where f1 is the frequency in normal flashing operation (basic frequency). The control frequency f2 is typically 2.2 times the value of f1 and is the frequency in the case of lamp failure. The bright periods for f1 and f2 are internall...
