Applications
Flashing generator, operation with smaller loads
(
≥
2 W)
By adding a resistor to the application circuit (figure 1),
defined operation with lamp loads
≥
2 W is possible. The
voltage drop across the resistor R
4
is generated by the
current flowing over the relay and should be about 15 mV.
With a relay current of 150 mA (relay resistance 73 Q),
this requires a resistance of R
4
= 100 m . The change of

the operating point by 15 mV results in a corresponding
change of the control signal threshold by 15 mV. For a
lamp current of 2.7 A, a measuring resistance of
