PRODUCTION DATA
Monitoring the input voltage of the LDO, as shown in Figure 8-6, is the most common way that the SI pin is used. The device has a built-in precision comparator that allows the device to compare a divided-down version of the input to the internal reference of the LDO. When the voltage on the sense pin is below VSI(LOW), the output of the SO pin is low. However, when VSI crosses VSI(HIGH) the voltage on the SO pin gets pulled up to VOUT through a pullup resistor, RSO. This pin also has built-in hysteresis to keep the pin from toggling between the two states from small changes on the SENSE voltage. Figure 8-7 shows a typical timing diagram for the SENSE pin.
