Functional description Figure 4. Output voltage vs input voltage Quiescent current vs supply voltage Reset circuit The block circuit diagram of the reset circuit is shown in Figure 6. The reset circuit supervises the output voltage. The reset threshold of 4.5 V is defined with the internal reference voltage and standby output divider. The reset pulse delay time tRD, is defined with the charge time of an external capacitor CT: C T  2V t RD = ------------------2A The reaction time of the reset circuit originates from the discharge time limitation of the reset capacitor CT and it is proportional...
