APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The IC regulates an input voltage V
I
in the range of 5.5 V < V
I
<40 V to a nominal output voltage
of V
Q
= 5.0V. A reset signal is generated for an output voltage of V
Q
< V
RT
(typ. 4.5V). The reset
delay can be set with an external capacitor. The device has two logic inputs. A voltage of V
E2
>4.0V
given to the E2-pin (e.g. by ignition) turns the device on. Depending on the voltage on pin E6 the
IC may be hold in active-state even if V
E2
goes down to low level. This makes it simple to
implement a self-holding circuit without external components. When the device is turned off, the
output voltage drops to 0V and current consumption tends towards 0
µA.
DESIGN NOTES FOR EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The input capacitor C
I
is necessary for compensation of line influences. The resonant circuit
consisting of lead inductance and input capacitance can be damped by a resistor of approxi-
mately 1Ω in series with C
I
. The output capacitor is necessary for the stability of the regulating
circuit. Stability is guaranteed at values of
≥
22µF and an ESR of less than 3Ω within the operating
temperature range.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The control amplifier compares a reference voltage, which is kept highly accurate by resistance
adjustment, to a voltage that is proportional to the output voltage and drives the base of the series
transistor via a buffer. Saturation control as a function of the load current prevents and over-
saturation of the power element.
The reset output RO is in high state if the voltage on the delay capacitor C
D
greater than or equal
to V
UD.
The delay capacitance C
D
is charged with the current I
D
for output voltages greater than
the reset threshold V
RT.
If the output voltage gets lower than V
RT
a fast discharge of the delay
capacitor C
D
sets in and as soon as V
CD
gets lower than V
LD
the reset output RO is set to low-level.
The reset delay can be set within wide range by dimensioning the capacitance of the external
capacitor.
