cause their common output, OUT 3 & 4, to indicate failure
(registered as a one or high).
T hese comparators are intended for lamp circuits which are
switched simultaneously, but are fused independently. A special
linkage between the comparators causes them to indicate a fault
if common-mode voltage is applied to only one of the pair. T his
functions as a test of both fuses.
One additional output is provided which tests when both lamps
are switched on (whether the lamp circuit draws current or not).
T his circuit signals a zero or low level at OUT (3
3
4) whenever
both lamp circuits are powered (implying fuses are present) and
a one or high level otherwise.
Description of Channels 1 and 2
Comparators 1 and 2 are also linked and share a common out-
put. A fault at either input will register as a one or high at OUT
1 & 2. Otherwise this output will be low. Each of these com-
parators also has a cold lamp test current. T hese comparators
are intended for two lamp circuits which have a common fuse,
and a fuse test line, similar to the brake-light test, is brought
out.
A summary of the tests performed by each channel is given in
T able I.
Signal Outputs
T he signal outputs, OUT 1 & 2, OUT 3 & 4, OUT (3
3
4),
and OUT 5, are NPN collectors with pull-up currents provided
by the power control section. T hese currents are about 75
μ
A
each, and are intended to be sufficient to drive high level CMOS
inputs.

Figure 3. AD22001 Connection Diagram
T hus, in the absence of voltage applied to light the lamp, the
lamp resistance holds the common-mode voltage low, and no
fault is indicated. When the lamp circuit is powered, voltage on
the comparator inputs activates the comparator which indicates
a fault if the lamp current does not cause the shunt voltage to
exceed the threshold.
Cold Lamp T est
In addition to the standard hot lamp test, four of the compara-
tors have a cold lamp test current of about 60
μ
A applied. If the
lamp circuit is not switched on but the lamp circuit is incom-
plete (failed lamp or connection), the small test current will
raise the common-mode voltage of the comparator at its input
and cause it to indicate a fault. Individual comparator inputs
draw about 10
μ
A each.
Description of Channel 5
T he single comparator in Channel 5 is intended for brake-light
testing. Comparator 5 does not have the cold test feature, since
this lamp is normally tested in conjunction with the brake-light
switch. T he comparator is combined with a fuse test circuit
which checks for battery voltage at its input. T his input
normally connects between the fuse and brake-light switch.
T he outputs of the hot lamp test and the fuse test are combined
at OUT 5 which indicates zero or low as the normal or okay
state and one or high if either test fails. T he output will indicate
a fault if battery voltage is lost from the fuse test line, or if the
lamp circuit is powered, but the circuit fails to draw current.
Description of Channels 3 and 4
Comparators 3 and 4 are linked to test pairs of lamp circuits. In
addition to the hot lamp test, Channels 3 and 4 each have a cold
lamp test current. A fault for either test at input 3 or 4 will
