1.1 Functional description
The CLT3-4 is a quadruple input digital termination device designed for 24 V DC automation
applications. It provides the front-end circuitry of a digital input module (I/O) in industrial
automation, and drives an isolating opto-coupler.
Available in a four channels configuration, it offers a high-density termination by minimizing
the external components count. It is housed in a TSSOP20 surface mount package to
reduce the printed board size.
Made of an input voltage protection, a serial current limiting circuit and an opto-coupler
driver, each channel circuit terminates the connection between the logic input and the
associated high side sensor or switch.
The CLT3-4 is a 3 mA quad channel device compatible the type 1 and 3 characteristics of
the IEC 61131-2 standard.
Each input voltage clamping block protects the module input against electromagnetic
interferences such as those described in the IEC 61131-2 standard and IEC 61000-4-2
(ESD), 4-4 (transient burst), 4-5 (voltage surge) standards. The supply input is also
designed with such a protection structure.

CLT3-4B Characteristics
5/13
The current limiting circuit connected between the input and the output pins is compensated
all over the temperature range. Thanks to its low tolerance, the current limitation allows
reducing drastically the dissipation of the input compared to a resistive input: the overall
module requires less cooling capability and becomes smaller.
The output block of each termination channel controls the operation of an opto-coupler that
is enabled by a Light Emitting Diode.
When the input current is less than 1.5 mA, this output circuit derivates the input current to
maintain the opto-coupler off.
The original structure of the CLT limiter allows its activation threshold to be low and
insensitive to the output voltage up to a maximum value of 2.0 V.
When the CLT input voltage V
IN
is higher than 5 V, or the module input voltage Vi higher
than 11 V and a series resistor R
I
= 1.2 kΩ, the output current that is a share of the input
current (3/4) is higher than 1.5 mA. The whole termination channel including the opto-
coupler is on.
Depending on the input type operation that is described by the IEC 61131-2 standard, the
input resistance R
I
can be adjusted because of the different on-state threshold V
ON MIN
.
This document describes operation and characteristics for type 3 operation with
V
ON MIN
= 11 V and R
I
= 1.2 kΩ.
In type 1 operation the on state threshold V
ON MIN
is 12.34 V instead, and the input resistor
R
I
is set 2.2 kΩ.
