Functional Description
This device is a 5-V low-drop fixed-voltage regulator. The maximum input voltage is
45 V. It can deliver an output current of at least 180 mA. The IC is short-circuit proof and
features temperature protection that disables the circuit in the event of impermissibly
high temperatures. The watchdog function is disabled as a function of the load, so that
a controller is not interrupted during sleep mode by a watchdog reset.
Application Description
The IC regulates an input voltage
V

in the range 5.5 V
<
V
i
<
45 V to

qrated

the event of an output voltage
V

RT
, a reset signal is generated. The wiring of the
reset switching threshold input enables the value of
V
RT
to be reduced. The reset delay
time can be adjusted using an external capacitor. The integrated watchdog monitors the
connected active controller. If there is no positive-going edge at the watchdog input, the
reset output is set to low. The reset delay capacitor provides a wide adjustment range
for the pulse repetition time. The watchdog function is only activated if the load exceeds
8 mA. This ensures that a microcontroller is not activated during power-down and the
current drain is not increased. The IC is protected against overload and
overtemperature.

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 any over-saturation of the power element. If The externally scaled down
output voltage at the reset threshold input drops below 1.35 V, the external reset delay
capacitor is discharged by the reset generator. If the voltage on the capacitor reaches
the lower threshold
V
ST
, a reset signal is generated on the reset output and not cancelled
again until the upper threshold voltage is exceeded. If the reset threshold input is
connected to GND, reset is triggered at an output voltage of 4.5 V. A connected
microcontroller is monitored by the watchdog logic. If pulses are missing, the rest output
is set to low. The pulse sequence time can be set within a wide range with the reset delay
capacitor. The IC also incorporates a member of internal circuits for protection against:
• Overload
• Overtemperature
• Reverse polarity
