Operation Diagram
• Explanation of operation
Step 1. The output voltage is equal to the pull-up voltage.
Step 2. At Point “A”, Vref >= VDD×(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 (−VDET).
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 <= VDD×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 (+VDET).
∗) The difference between a released voltage and a detector threshold voltage is a detector threshold hysteresis.
