Early warning flag on low input voltage
Main output latches off at lower input voltages
Battery backup on auxiliary output
For 5V VOUT, use internal resistors. Wire pin 6 to 7 and pin 2 to +VOUTBuss.
Operation: Reg.#1’s VOUT is programmed one diode drop above 5V. It’s error flag
becomes active when VIN£ 5.7V. When VIN drops below 5.3V, the error flag of
Reg.#2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the main output off. When VIN again
exceeds 5.7V Reg.#1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal rises,
unlatching Reg.#2 via D3.
