Explanation of operation
Step 1. The output voltage is equal to the pull-up voltage.
Step 2. At Point “A”, Vref
>
=
V
DD
×(Rb+Rc)/(Ra+Rb+Rc) is true, as a result, the output of comparator is reversed
from "H" to "L", therefore the output voltage becomes the GND level. The voltage level of Point A means
a detector threshold voltage (
−V
DET
).
Step 3. When the supply voltage is lower than the minimum operating voltage, the operation of the output
transistor becomes indefinite. The output voltage is equal to the pull-up voltage.
Step 4. The output Voltage is equal to the GND level.
Step 5. At Point “B”, Vref
<
=
V
DD
×Rb/(Ra+Rb) is true, as a result, the output of comparator is reversed from "L" to
"H", then the output voltage is equal to the pull-up voltage. The voltage level of Point B means a released
voltage (
+V
DET
).
∗) The difference between a released voltage and a detector threshold voltage is a detector threshold hysteresis.
