UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
In some applications it is desirable to keep the regulator off
until the input voltage reaches a certain threshold. An und-
ervoltage lockout circuit which accomplishes this task is
shown in Figure 12, while Figure 13 shows the same circuit
applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep
the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a predeter-
mined level.

DELAYED STARTUP
Note: Pin numbers are for the TO-220 package.
The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup
feature as shown in Figure 14. With an input voltage of 20V
and for the part values shown, the circuit provides approxi-
mately 10 ms of delay time before the circuit begins switch-
ing. Increasing the RC time constant can provide longer
delay times. But excessively large RC time constants can
cause problems with input voltages that are high in 60 Hz or
120 Hz ripple, by coupling the ripple into the ON /OFF pin.

ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT, LOW-RIPPLE
POWER SUPPLY
A 1A power supply that features an adjustable output voltage
is shown in Figure 15. An additional L-C filter that reduces
the output ripple by a factor of 10 or more is included in this
circuit.
