1. Description
The bipolar U4793B is designed to monitor overload or a short circuit in automotive or
industrial applications. The threshold is tied to V4,6 = VS – VT where VT = 44.5 mV. It is
independent of the supply voltage, VS. If the voltage drop across shunt resistor, Rsh,
exceeds this value, the output is turned on, otherwise the output is turned off.
Without supply voltage or open input pin 8, the output is turned off. The output break-
down voltage is determined by the Z-diodes Z3 and Z5 with a typical value of VZ = 22V.
An unused comparator input must be connected to pin 7.

4. Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
