The maximum output current is more than 200 mA. The IC is short-circuit proof and incorporates temperature protection which turns off the IC at over temperature. The IC regulates an input voltage V I in the range of 6 V < V I < 45 V to V Q,nom = 5.0 V. A reset signal is generated for an output voltage of V Q,rt < 4.5 V. This voltage threshold can be decreased to 3.5 V by external connection of a voltage divider. The reset delay can be set externally by a capacitor. The integrated watchdog logic supervises the connected microcontroller. The IC can be switched off via the inhibit input, which causes the current consumption to drop from 900 μA to typical 0 μA.
