Active antenna detector with load current limit
Overview
The antenna detector supplies an active antenna and is able to detect both open and short circuits. A current limiter restricts the antenna current to a safe level in the case of a short circuit in order to protect the circuit. Detection current is 1...16 mA. Short circuit protection current is 4...64 mA. Supply current is 140 uA.
