Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail Comparator
For increased noise immunity, hysteresis can be added to
the power-fail comparator. Because the comparator circuit is
noninverting, hysteresis can be added simply by connecting a
resistor between the PFO output and the PFI input, as shown in
7V TO 15V

drops below 1 V,
the internal transistor does not have sufficient drive to hold the
voltage RESET at 0 V. A pull-down resistor can be connected
externally, as shown in Figure 17, to hold the line low if
required.

When PFO is low, Resistor R3 sinks current from the summing
junction at the PFI pin. When PFO is high, Resistor R3 sources
current into the PFI summing junction. This results in differing
trip levels for the comparator. Further noise immunity can be
achieved by connecting a capacitor between PFI and GND. The
equations used to calculate the hysteresis are as follows:
