APPLICATION NOTE
SUPPLY VOLTAGE TRANSIENTS
High supply voltage transients can cause a reset
output signal disturbation.
For supply voltage greater than 8V the circuit
shows a high immunity of the reset output against
supply transients of more than 100V/µs.
For supply voltage lower than 8V, supply transients of more than 0.4V/µs. can cause a reset
signal disturbation.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L4925 is a monolithic integrated voltage
regulator, based on the STM modular voltage
regulator approach. Several outstanding features
and auxiliary functions are implemented to meet
the requirements of supplying microprocessor
systems in automotive applications.
Nevetrheless, it is suitable also in other applications where the present functions are required.
The modular approach of this device allows to get
easily also other features and functions when required.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The voltage regulator uses an Isolated Collector
Vertical PNP transistor as a regulating element.
With this structure very low dropout voltage at
currents up to 500mA is obtained.
The dropout operation of the standby regulator is
maintained down to 3V input supply voltage. The
output voltage is regulated up to the transient input supply voltage of 35V. With this feature no
functional interruption due to overvoltage pulses
is generated.
The typical curve showing the standby output
voltage as a function of the input supply voltage is
shown in fig. 1.
The current consumption of the device (quiescent
current) is less than 250µA.
To reduce the quiescent current peak in the undervoltage region and to improve the transient response in this region, the dropout voltage is controlled.
The quiescent current as a function of the supply
input voltage is shown in fig. 2.

RESET CIRCUIT
The block circuit diagram of the reset circuit is
shown in Figure 3. The reset circuit supervises
the output voltage. The reset threshold of 4.5V is
defined with the internal reference voltage and
standby output divider.
The reset pulse delay time t RD, is defined with the
charge time of an external capacitor CT:
tRD=
CT x 2V
2µA
The reaction time of the reset circuit originates
from the discharge time limitation of the reset capacitor CT and it is proportional to the value of CT.
The reaction time of the reset circuit increases the
noise immunity.Standby output voltage drops below the reset threshold only a bit longer than the
reaction time results in a shorter reset delay time.
The nominal reset delay time will be generated for
standby output voltage drops longer than approximately 50µs. The typical reset output waveforms
are shown in Figure 4.
