The LP3470 is a micropower CMOS voltage supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in microprocessor
(µP) and other digital systems. It provides maximum adjustability forpower-on-reset(POR) and supervisory functions. It
is available in the following six standard reset threshold voltage (V

desired please contact your National Semiconductor representative.
The LP3470 asserts a reset signal whenever the V
voltage falls below a reset threshold. The reset time-out period is adjustable using an external capacitor. Reset remains
asserted for an interval (programmed by an external capacitor) after V

Reset Output
In applications like microprocessor (µP) systems, errors
might occur in system operation during power-up,
power-down, or brownout conditions. It is imperative to
monitor the power supply voltage in order to prevent these
errors from occurring.

voltage is below a threshold (V
