Feature Description (continued)

Figure 14. Delayed Start-Up

8.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout

Some applications require the regulator to remain off until the input voltage reaches a predetermined voltage.

Figure 15 shows an undervoltage lockout feature applied to a buck regulator, while Figure 16 and Figure 17

apply the same feature to an inverting circuit. The circuit in Figure 16 features a constant threshold voltage for

turnon and turnoff (Zener voltage plus approximately one volt). If hysteresis is required, the circuit in Figure 17

has a turnon voltage which is different than the turnoff voltage. The amount of hysteresis is approximately equal

to the value of the output voltage. If Zener voltages greater than 25 V are used, an additional 47-kΩ resistor is

required from the ON/OFF pin to the ground pin to stay within the 25-V maximum limit of the ON/OFF pin.

8.3.3 Inverting Regulator

The circuit in Figure 18 converts a positive input voltage to a negative output voltage with a common ground. The

circuit operates by bootstrapping the regulator's ground pin to the negative output voltage, then grounding the

feedback pin, the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and regulates it.

This circuit has an ON/OFF threshold of approximately 13 V.
