Reset Function

The reset function provides several features:

Output Undervoltage Reset:

An output undervoltage condition is indicated by setting the Reset Output RO to “low”. This signal might be used

to reset a microcontroller during low supply voltage.

Power-On Reset Delay Time:

The power-on reset delay time

t

from exceeding the reset switching threshold

V

“low” to “high”. The power-on reset delay time

t

charged by the delay capacitor charge current

I

If the application needs a power-on reset delay time

t

capacitor’s value can be derived from the specified values in Item 5.6.7 and the desired power-on delay time:

For a precise calculation also take the delay capacitor’s tolerance into consideration.

Reset Reaction Time:

The reset reaction time avoids that short undervoltage spikes trigger an unwanted reset “low” signal. The reset
