The Reset Delay Circuit provides a programmable (by
RESET
external capacitor) delay on the
output lead. The

The
circuit output is an open collector type with
RESET
Delay lead provides source current to the external delay
capacitor only when the Low Voltage Inhibit circuit indi-
cates that output voltage is above VRT(ON). Otherwise, the
Delay lead sinks current to ground (used to discharge the
delay capacitor). The discharge current is latched ON
when the output voltage is below VRT(OFF). The Delay
capacitor is fully discharged anytime the output voltage
falls out of regulation, even for a short period of time. This

(see Block Diagram).
