DESCRIPTION
The L4620 is an integrated circuit, designed for the
liquid level control in automotive applications. The
liquid level is indicated by an attenuation between
transmitted and received signal across a sensor tip
in the lquid. If the attenuation exceedes an internal
threshold- sensortip outsidethe liquid or liquid tem-
peraturehigher than a determinedvalue - a square-
wave alarm output indicates an unsufficient liquid
condition.If the liquid levelis restoredbeforethe end
of a delay time the alarm is not activated.
Throughtwo pins it is possible to program : the delay

shold of the sensor for alarm activation.
Theabovefeaturesmake theL4620particularlyver-
satile for many applications and give the possibility
to use various sensor types.
Internal circuits prevent spurious indications from
the liquid sensor and a latch keeps the alarm acti-
vateduntilthe supply voltageis switchedoff.The de-
vice includes thermal shutdown protections.

... CIRCUIT OPERATION The L4620 liquid level alarm is designed to operate with a variety of sensor types which change imped- ance depending on whether the sensor is above or below the level of a liquid. If the impedancevariation of ther liquid itself is sensed, a very simple sensor (two electrodes) can be used. The output stage ...
