DESCRIPTION
The LM195/LM395 are fast, monolithic power
integrated circuits with complete overload protection.
These devices, which act as high gain power
transistors, have included on the chip, current limiting,
power limiting, and thermal overload protection
making them virtually impossible to destroy from any
type of overload. In the standard TO-3 transistor
power package, the LM195 will deliver load currents
in excess of 1.0A and can switch 40V in 500 ns.
The inclusion of thermal limiting, a feature not easily
available in discrete designs, provides virtually
absolute protection against overload. Excessive
power dissipation or inadequate heat sinking causes
the thermal limiting circuitry to turn off the device
preventing excessive heating.
The LM195 offers a significant increase in reliability
as well as simplifying power circuitry. In some
applications, where protection is unusually difficult,
such as switching regulators, lamp or solenoid drivers
where normal power dissipation is low, the LM195 is
especially advantageous.
The LM195 is easy to use and only a few precautions
need be observed. Excessive collector to emitter
voltage can destroy the LM195 as with any power
transistor. When the device is used as an emitter
follower with low source impedance, it is necessary to
insert a 5.0k resistor in series with the base lead to
prevent possible emitter follower oscillations.
Although the device is usually stable as an emitter
follower, the resistor eliminates the possibility of Figure 1. 1.0 Amp Lamp Flasher
trouble without degrading performance. Finally, since
it has good high frequency response, supply
bypassing is recommended.

different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
