RESET Function
A RESET signal (low voltage) is generated as the IC
powers up until V
OUT
is within 1.5% of the regulated output
voltage, or when V
OUT
drops out of regulation,and is lower
than 4.0% below the regulated output voltage. Hysteresis is
included in the function to minimize oscillations.
The RESET
output is an open collector NPN transistor,
controlled by a low voltage detection circuit. The circuit is
functionally independent of the rest of the IC thereby
guaranteeing that the RESET
signal is valid for V
OUT
as low
as 1.0 V.
ENABLE Function
The part stays in a low I
Q
sleep mode when the ENABLE
pin is held low. The part has an internal pull down if the pin
is left floating.
The integrity of the ENABLE pin allows it to be tied to the
battery line through an external resistor. It will withstand
load dump potentials in this configuration.

DELAY Function
The reset delay circuit provides a programmable (by
external capacitor) delay on the RESET
output lead.
The DELAY lead provides source current (typically 4.0 mA)
to the external DELAY capacitor during the following
proceedings:
1. During Power Up (once the regulation threshold
has been verified).
2. After a reset event has occurred and the device is
back in regulation. The DELAY capacitor is
discharged when the regulation (RESET
threshold)
has been violated. This is a latched incident. The
capacitor will fully discharge and wait for the
device to regulate before going through the delay
time event again.
Voltage Adjust
Figure 17 shows the device setup for a user configurable
output voltage. The feedback to the V
ADJ
pin is taken from
a voltage divider referenced to the output voltage. The loop
is balanced around the Unity Gain threshold (1.30 V
typical).
