(12) About IC Pin Input
This IC is a Monolithic IC, and between each element, it has P
N layer of each element and this, the P-N junction is formed, and the parasitic element of each type is composed.
On the composition of IC, depending on the electrical potential, the parasitic element will become necessary. Through
the operation of the parasitic element interference of circuit operation will arouse, and error, therefore destruction can
be caused. Therefore please be careful about the applying of voltage lower than the GND (P board) in I/O Pin, and the
way of using when parasitic element operating.
For example, like the diagram below, when resistor and transistor is connected to Pin,
(Pin A)
Parasitic Element
○When GND＞(PinA) in Resistor, when GND＞(PinA), when GND＞(PinB) in Transistor (NPN),
○Also, during GND＞(Pin B) in the Transistor (NPN), through the N layer of the other elements connected
N
the P-N junction will operate as a parasitic diode.
