The IC can be used to make a power-on-reset circuit as
displayed in
ratiometric reference with respect to the power supply
and is created by a simple resistive divider. Choose
reasonably large values to minimize the power consump-
tion in the resistive divider. The positive input provides
the power-on delay time set by the time constant of the
RC circuit formed by R2 and C1. This simple circuit can
be used to power up the system in a known state after
ensuring that the power supply is stable. Diode D1 pro-
vides a rapid reset in the event of unexpected power loss.
If using comparator A, R3 and R4 are not populated and
REF settles in approximately 100µs.
The IC can also be used to make a simple relaxation

waveform with capacitor C1 alternately charging and
discharging through resistor R5. The external hysteresis
network formed by R1 to R4 defines the trip voltages as:
Using the basic time domain equations for the charging
and discharging of an RC circuit, the logic-high time,
logic-low time, and frequency can be calculated as:
Since the comparator’s output is open drain, it goes to
high impedance corresponding to logic-high. So, when
the output is at logic-high, the C1 capacitor charges
through the resistor network formed by R1 to R5. An
