CAT803 OPEn-DRAIn reSeT APPLICATIOn

The CAT803 features an open-drain RESET output

and therefore needs a pull-up resistor on the output for

proper operation, as shown on Figure 6. An advantage

of the open-drain output includes the ability to “wire

AND” several outputs together to form an inexpensive

logic circuit. It is also possible to have the pull-up resistor

connected to a different supply which can be higher than

is not critical in most applications, typical values being

between 5kΩ and 10kΩ.
