The CS8122 is a precision 5.0 V linear regulator capable of sourcing in excess of 750 mA. The RESET's delay time is externally programmed using a discrete RC network. During power up, or when the output goes out of regulation, the RESET lead remains in the low state for the duration of the delay. This function is independent of the input voltage and will function correctly as long as the output voltage remains at or above 1.0 V. Hysteresis is included in the Delay and the RESET comparators to improve noise immunity. A latching discharge circuit is used to discharge the delay capacitor when it is triggered by a brief fault condition.
