DESCRIPTION
The L387A is a very low drop voltage regulator in
a Pentawatt package specially designed to provide stabilized 5V supplies in consumer and industrial applications. Thanks to its very low input/output voltage drop this device is very useful
in battery powered equipment, reducing consumption and prolonging battery life. A reset output makes the L387A particularly suitable for microprocessor systems. This output provides a reset signal when power is applied (after an external programmable delay) and goes low when

power is removed, inhibiting the microprocessor.
An hysteresis on reset delay capacitor raises the
immunity to the ground noise.
