TL7726CDR

The TL7726CDR is a hex clamping circuit integrated circuit from Texas Instruments. It contains six identical clamping circuits that monitor input voltages against a reference value (REF). When the input voltage is between GND and REF, the circuits present a high impedance to ground, drawing less than 10 mA. When the input goes below GND or above REF, the circuits activate with low impedance and can sink up to 25 mA of current.

Key specifications include a clamping voltage range of -200 V to +205 V relative to GND and REF, a maximum clamping current of 25 mA (with an absolute maximum rating of ±50 mA), and a standby power dissipation of less than 1 mW. The device operates over a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (for the C suffix) and has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

The TL7726 is ideal for protecting CMOS semiconductor devices in environments with large positive or negative transients, such as automotive and industrial systems. It is commonly used to safeguard analog-to-digital converters and prevent latch-up conditions. The device offers stable operation with capacitive loads and exhibits no output overshoot.

The TL7726CDR is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (8-SOIC, 0.154" width, 3.90 mm) with surface mount mounting. The supplier device package is 8-SOIC.
