Output circuit troubles and corrective actions
The load in the off state momentarily turns on at power off (transistor output).
■Cause
When an inductive load is connected, the load [2] in the off state may turn on due to a sneak current from the back EMF at the
shutoff [1].
■Action
Take either of the following two actions:
• To suppress the back EMF, connect a diode in parallel with the load under the back EMF influence [3].
• Configure another current path by connecting a diode across positive and negative of the external power supply.
D1 indicates the following.
Reverse voltage VR (VRM)
*1
Forward current IF (IFM)
*2
*1 Approximately 10 times as high as the rated load voltage in the performance specifications
Example: 24VDC Approximately 200VDC
*2 Twice as high as the maximum load current (common) in the performance specifications or more
Example: 2A/1 common 4A or higher
