Bipolar IC
Features
●Lower open-loop current consumption; IS < 1 mA
●Lower output saturation voltage
●The temperature dependence of the switching
distance is lower and compensation of the resonant
circuit
TC
(temperature coefficient) is easier
●The sensitivity is higher, so that larger switching
distances are possible and coils of a lower quality can
be used
●The switching hysteresis remains constant as regards
temperature, supply voltage and switching distance
●The TCA 305 even functions without external
integrating capacitor. With an external capacitor (or
with RC combination) good noise immunity can be
achieved
●The outputs are temporarily short-circuit proof (approx.
10 s to 1 min depending on package)
●The outputs are disabled when VS < approx. 4.5 V and
are enabled when the oscillator stabilizes
(from VS min = 5 V)
●Higher switching frequencies can be obtained
●Pb-free lead plating; RoHS compliant

The devices TCA 305 and TCA 355 contain all the functions necessary to design inductive
proximity switches. By approaching a standard metal plate to the coil, the resonant circuit is
damped and the outputs are switched.

1) TCA 305 only
2) Values in parenthesis apply to TCA 355 only
3) Operation at voltages less than 5 V (between approx. 2.5 and 5 V) is possible, if VREF is connected to VS. In
this case VREF is no longer internally stabilized. Additionally, the pin "turn-on delay" is to be applied as follows:
If no turn-on delay is needed, this pin has to be connected to VS. If, however, a turn-on delay is required, the
charge current for DD has to be adjusted with an external resistor between this pin and VS (recommended
value 390 k ).

Whether it is used or not depends on the temperature coefficient of the resonant

RI;CIIntegration element. At pin 3 (integrating capacitance) we recommend a
capacitor of typ. 1 nF. To increase noise immunity this capacitor can be
substituted by an RC circuit with, e.g., RI = 1 M and CI = 10 nF.
