FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L4937N is based on the SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics modular voltage regulatorapproach.
Several out-standing features and auxiliary functions are provided to meet the requirements of supplying the microprocessor systems used in automotive applications.
Furthermore the device is suitable also in other applications requiring two stabilized voltages.
The modular approach allows other features and
functions to be realized easily when required.
The typical curve of the standby output voltage as
a functionof the input supply voltageis shownin fig.
1.
The current consumption of the device (quiescent
current) is less than 250µA when output 2 is disabled (standby mode). The dropout voltage is controlled to reduce the quiescent current peak in the
undervoltage region and to improve the transient
response in this region.
Thequiescent current isshown in fig.2 as a function
of the supply input voltage 2.
STANDBY REGULATOR
The standby regulator uses an Isolated Collector
Vertical PNP transistor as the regulating element.
This structure allows a very low dropout voltage at
currents up to 50mA. The dropout operation of the
standby regulator is maintained down to 2V input
supply voltage. The output voltage is regulated up
to the transient input supplyvoltageof40V. This feature avoids functional interruptions which could be
generated by overvoltage pulses.
OUTPUT 2 VOLTAGE
The output 2 regulator uses the same output structureas the standbyregulator, but ratedfor an output
current of 500mA.
The output 2 regulatorworks in tracking mode with
the standby output voltage as a reference voltage.
The output 2 regulator can be switched off via the
Enable input.

RESET CIRCUIT
Theblock circuit diagramof the resetcircuit is shown
in fig.3. Thereset circuit supervisesthe standbyoutput voltage. The reset threshold of 4.7V is defined
by the internal reference voltage and the standby
output divider.
The reset pulse delay time tRD, is defined by the
charge time of an external capacitor CT :
CT x 2V
tRD =
6/9
2µA
The reaction time of the reset circuit dependson the
discharge time limitation of the reset capacitor CT
and is proportional to the value of CT.
The reaction time of the reset circuit increases the
noise immunity. In fact, if the standbyoutput voltage
drops below the reset threshold for a time shorter
than the reaction time t RR, no reset output variation
occurs. The nominal reset delay is generated for
standby output voltage drops longer than the time
necessary for the complete discharging of the capacitor CT. This time is typically equal to 50µs if CT
= 100nF. The typical reset output waveforms are
shown in fig.
