100 mA load. This part is ideal for any and all battery
operated microprocessor equipment.
output RO (with delay), and a SI/SO monitor which can be
used to provide an early warning signal to the
microprocessor of a potential impending reset signal. The
use of the SI/SO monitor allows the microprocessor to finish
any signal processing before the reset shuts the
microprocessor down. Internal output resistors on the RO
and SO pins pulling up to the output pin Q reduce external
component count. An inhibit function is available on the
14-lead part. With inhibit active, the regulator turns off and
the device consumes less that 1.0 mA of quiescent current.

during the powerup sequence or during normal operation if
the output voltage drops outside the regulation limits.

The regulator is protected against reverse battery, short
circuit, and thermal overload conditions. The device can
withstand load dump transients making it suitable for use in
automotive environments.

reset function and a sense circuit. The reset function has an
adjustable time delay and an adjustable threshold level. The
sense circuit trip level is adjustable and can be used as an
early warning signal to the controller. An inhibit function
that turns off the regulator and reduces the current
consumption to less than 1.0 mA is a feature available in the
14 pin package.
Output Regulator
The PNP output has saturation control for regulation while
the input voltage is low, preventing oversaturation. Current
limit and voltage monitors complement the regulator design
to give safe operating signals to the processor and control
circuits.
Stability Considerations

aluminum electrolytic capacitor is best, since a film or
ceramic capacitor with almost zero ESR can cause
instability. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least
expensive solution, but, if the circuit operates at low
temperatures (-25°C to -40°C), both the value and ESR of
the capacitor will vary considerably. The capacitor
