LM9070
Low-Dropout System Voltage Regulator with Keep-Alive
ON/OFF Control
General Description
The LM9070 is a 5V, 3% accurate, 250 mA low-dropout volt-
age regulator. The regulator features an active low delayed
reset output flag which can be used to reset a microproces-
sor system on turn-ON and in the event that the regulator
output falls out of regulation for any reason. An external ca-
pacitor programs a delay time interval before the reset out-
put can return high.
Designed for automotive application the LM9070 contains a
variety of protection features such as reverse battery,
over-voltage shutdown, thermal shutdown, input transient
protection and a wide operating temperature range.
A unique two-input logic control scheme is used to enable or
disable the regulator output. An ON/OFF input can be pro-
vided by an ignition switch derived signal while a second,
Keep-Alive input, is generated by a system controller. This
allows for a system to remain ON after ignition has been
switched OFF. The system controller can then execute a
power-down routine and after which command the regulator
OFF to a low quiescent current state (60 碌A(chǔ) max).
Design techniques have been employed to allow the regula-
tor to remain operational and not generate false reset signals
when subjected to high levels of RF energy (300V/m from
2 MHz to 400 MHz).
