1. The reset threshold can be programmed continuously from typ 3.8 V to 4.7 V by changing a value of an
external resistor from pin PR to GND.
2. This is a minimum reset time according to the hysteresis of the comparator. Delay time starts with VOUT1
exceeding VRT.
3. This is the nominal reset time depending on the discharging limit of CT (saturation voltage) and the upper
threshold of the timer comparator. Delay time starts with VOUT1 exceeding VRT.
3 Application information
(See note 2)
(See note 1)
1. The leakage of CT must be less than 0.5 mA (2 V). If an external resistor between CT and VOUT1 is applied,
the leakage current may be increased. The external resistor should have more than 30 KΩ.
For stability: Cs ≥ 1 µF, C01 ≥ 10 µF, C02 ≥ 10 µF, ESR ≤ 5Ω (designed target).
2. For transients exceeding 20 V or -20 V external protection is required at the pins SI and EN as shown at
pin EN. The protection proposed provides proper function for transients in the range of ±200 V. If the zener
diode is omitted the external resistor should be raised to 200 KΩ to limit the current to 1 mA. Without the
zener diode, the function 20 V or -20 V can not be guaranteed.
In the standby mode when the output 2 is disabled, the current consumption of the device
(quiescent current) is less than 90 µA (14 V supply voltage).
To reduce the quiescent current peak in the undervoltage region and to improve the
transient response in this region, the dropout voltage is controlled. A second regulation path
keeps the output voltage without load below 5.5 V even at high temperatures.
Figure 4. OUT2
Connecting a resistor divider R1E, R2E to the ADJ, OUT2 pin the output voltage 2 can be
programmed to the value of
⎛ R 1E ( R 2E + R ADJ )⎞
V OUT2 = V OUT1 ⎜ 1 + ------------------------------------------------
-⎟
⎝ R 2E ⋅ R ADJ ⎠
with RADJ = 60 K to 150 K and VOUT1 = 4.95 to 5.05 V. For an exact calculation the
temperature coefficient (TC - 2000 pprm) of the internal resistor (RADJ) must be taken into
account. Pin ADJ in this mode should not have a capacitive burden because this would
reduce the phase margin of the regulator loop.

V RT
3.8V ≤ V RT ≤ 4.7V
The reset pulse delay time tRD, is defined with the charge time of an external capacitor CT:
C T ⋅ 0.6V
t RDmin = ------------------------
1μA
C T ⋅ 1.4V
t RDnom = ------------------------
1μA
The reaction time of the reset circuit originates from the noise immunity. Standby output
voltage drops below the reset threshold only a bit longer than the reaction time results in a
shorter reset delay time. The nominal reset delay time is generated for standby output
voltage drops longer than approximately 50 µs. The minimum reset time is generated if reset
condition only occurs for a short time triggering a reset pulse but not completely discharging
CT. The reset can be related to output2 on request. If higher charge currents for the reset
capacitor are required a resistors from pin CT to OUT1, may be used to increase the current.
We recommended the use of 10 KΩ to 5 V as an output pull up.
a. The reference is alternatively supplied from VS or VOUT1. If one supply is present, the reference is operating.
