8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The LP3470 is a micropower CMOS voltage supervisor that is ideal for use in battery-powered microprocessor and other digital systems. It is small in size and provides maximum adjustability for power-on-reset (POR) and supervisory functions, making it a good solution in a variety of applications. The LP3470 is available in six standard reset threshold voltage options, and the reset time-out period is adjustable using an external capacitor providing maximum flexibility in any application. This device can ensure system reliability and ensures that a connected microprocessor will operate only when a minimum Vin supply is satisfied.

8.2 Typical Application

The LP3470 can be used as a simple supervisor circuit to monitor the input supply to a microprocessor as shown in Figure 10.

8.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.

Table 1. Design Parameters

DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Input supply voltage 0.5 to 5.5 V
Reset threshold voltage 2.63 V, 2.93 V, 3.08 V, 3.65 V, 4 V, 4.38 V, 4.63 V
External pullup resistor 0.68 to 68 kΩ
External reset time-out period capacitor C1 = 1 nF
Reset time-out period 2 ms

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The minimum application circuit requires the LP3470 Power-On Reset Circuit IC and a pullup resistor connecting the reset pin to VCC. The reset delay can be programmed with an additional capacitor connected from the SRT pin to GND. See Reset Time-Out Period and Pullup Resistor Selection for information on choosing specific values for components.

8.2.3 Application Curves

Two capacitor values for CD (0.1 µF and 1 µF) are used as examples to show the programmability of the output time delay as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.
