TESTCIRCUIT
APPLICATIONINFORMATION
Inpower suppliesfor µPsystems it is necessaryto
provide power continuously to avoid loss of informationin memoriesand in time of dayclocks,or to
savedatawhen theprimarysupplyisremoved.The
L4901A makes it very easy to supply such equipments;it providestwo voltageregulators(both 5 V
high precision) with separate inputs plus a reset
output forthe data savefunction.
CIRCUITOPERATION(see Figure 1)

rises to

the nominalvalue.
When the input 2 reaches V
higherthanV
the reset output (V
theoutput 2 (V02) switcheson and
RT
) also goes high after a pro-
R

one of the followingconditionsoccurs :
- an input overvoltage
- an overloadon the output 1 (V
- a switchoff (V

);
and they start againas before when the condition
is removed.
An overload on output 2 does not switchReg. 2,
and does not influenceReg.1.
TheV
outputfeatures:
01
- 5 V internal reference without voltage divider
between the output and the error comparator;
- very low drop series regulator element utilizing
current mirrors ;
permit high output impedance and then very low
leakage current error even in power down condi-
continuously, such as volatile RAMs, allowing the
use of a back-up battery. The V
regulator also

TheV
output can supply other non essential5 V

circuits which may be powered down when the
system is inactive, or thatmust be powered down
to prevent uncorrect operation for supply voltages
belowthe minimumvalue.

APPLICATIONSSUGGESTIONS
Figure 2 shows an application circuit for a µP
system typically used in trip computers or in car
radioswith programmabletuning.
Reg.1 is permanently connected to a batteryand
supplies a CMOStime-of-day clock and a CMOS
microcomputerchip with volatile memory.
Reg.2 maybe switchedOFF when the system is

Figure4 shows the L4901Awith a backup battery
onthe V
outputto maintaina CMOStime-of-day
01
clock and a stand by type N-MOS µP. The reset
output makessure that the RAM is forced into the
low consumption stand by state, so the access to
memory is inhibit and the back up battery voltage

cannotdrop so low that memory contents arecorrupted.
Inthis casethe mainon-offswitchdisconnectsboth
regulatorsfrom the supply battery.
The L4901A is also ideal for microcomputer systemsusing batterybackupCMOS staticRAMs.As
shownin Figure5 the reset output is used both to
