APPLICATIONS
LTC1422
When the voltage at the FB pin rises above its reset
threshold (1.232V), the comparator COMP 2 output goes
high, and a timing cycle starts (Figure 4, time points 1 and
4). After a complete timing cycle, RESET is pulled high.
The 12 A pull-up current source to V
series diode so the pin can be pulled above V
external pull-up resistor without forcing current back into
supply.
When the supply voltage at the FB pin drops below its reset
threshold, the comparator Comp 2 output goes low. After
passing through a glitch filter, RESET is pulled low (time
point 2). If the FB pin rises above the reset threshold for
less than a timing cycle, the RESET output will remain low
(time point 3).
Glitch Filter
The LTC1422 has a glitch filter to prevent RESET from
generating a system reset when there are transients on the
FB pin. The filter is 20 s for large transients (greater than
150mV) and up to 80 s for small transients. The relation-
ship between glitch filter time and the transient voltage is
shown in Typical Performance curve: Glitch Filter Time vs
Feedback Transient.
Soft Reset
In some cases a system reset is desired without a power
down. The ON pin can signal the RESET pin to go low
without turning off the external N-channel (a soft reset).
This is accomplished by holding the ON pin low for only
15 s or less (Figure 5, time point 1). At about 30 s from
the falling edge of the ON pin (time point 2) the RESET pin
goes low and stays low for one timing cycle.

If the ON pin is held low for longer than 40 s, the gate will
turn off and the RESET pin will eventually go low (time
points 4, 5 and 6).
Timer
The system timing for the LTC1422 is generated by the
circuitry shown in Figure 6. The timer is used to set the
turn-on delay after the ON pin goes high and the delay
before the RESET pin goes high after the output supply
voltage is good as sensed by the FB pin.
