SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS
Supervisory Circuitry
VB Charge Pump
The supervisory circuitry provides control of the RST line,
an open drain signal, based on system operating conditions
monitored by the 34710. VI/O, VCORE, VB+, and thermal
The high-side MOSFET in the switching regulator (buck
converter) requires a gate drive supply voltage that is biased
higher than the B+ voltage, and this boosted voltage is
provided by the internal charge pump and stored in a
capacitor between the VB pin and the B+ pin. The charge
pump operates directly from the B+ supply, and uses an

monitored for error conditions. VI/O, VCORE, VB+, and thermal

for triggering the reset function.

The supervisor circuitry also ensures that the regulator
outputs follow a predetermined power-up and power-down
sequence. Specifically, the sequencing ensures that VI/O is
