PRODUCTION DATA.
In applications like microprocessor (µP) systems, errors might occur in system operation during power up, power down, or brownout conditions. It is imperative to monitor the power supply voltage to prevent these errors from occurring.
The LP3470A asserts a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage is below a threshold (VIT-) voltage. RESET is ensured to be a logic low for VCC > 0.95 V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold plus a hysteresis voltage, the reset is kept asserted for a time period (tD) programmed by an external capacitor (CSRT); after this interval RESET goes to logic high. If a brownout condition occurs (monitored voltage falls below the reset threshold), RESET goes low. When VCC returns above the reset threshold plus a hysteresis voltage, RESET remains low for a time period tD before going to logic high. Figure 9 shows this behavior.
