A. When the input voltage (VIN) is higher than the release voltage (VREL), the input voltage (VIN) is
provided at the output terminal because N-ch transistor is OFF and the P-ch transistor is ON. And,
the output maintains the same level of input as long as the input voltage remains above the detection
voltage (VDET).
B. When the input voltage (VIN) falls below the
detection voltage (VDET), the N-ch transistor is
ON and the P-ch transistor is OFF. And, the
output voltage (VOUT) is same as ground level
(VSS).

E. When the input voltage (VIN) rises above the
release voltage (VREL), the N-ch transistor
becomes OFF and the P-Ch transistor becomes
ON. And, the output voltage (VOUT) is equal to
input voltage (VIN). This difference between VDET
and VREL is hysteresis range (VHYS).
