PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
voltage monitor
The TLS2205 voltage-monitor circuit is designed to monitor the voltage of the system’s 5-V power supply. The
device has an internal lockout threshold voltage of 4 V. If the power supply drops below 4 V, an internal fault is
generated and PORN goes low. In applications where a more accurate threshold is desired (greater than 4 V),
an external resistor divider may be connected to UV. If UV is not used, it must be tied to V
Figure 1). The following equations can be used to determine the voltage divider resistor values:

Note:
A capacitor (Cuv1) may be considered for short-duration power loss.
The voltage monitor incorporates a deglitch timing delay circuit for applications where PORN is used to reset
the system’s microprocessor. A delaycan be implemented on PORN byconnecting a capacitor between CPOR
and ground. The reset time (see Figure 2) is calculated by using the following equation:

becomes greater than 1.21 V (band-gap voltage), which allows

Comp2 to pull PORN high, disabling the retract control circuit.
Time 2: Time 2 represents the normal run mode. At this time, the R-S flip-flop is reset, CPOR is high, PORN
is high, and the retract control circuit is disabled.
Time 3: An external fault is generated by the microprocessor (or external device) by pulling PORN low. No other
parts of the voltage-monitor circuit are affected.
Time 4: If the system’s supply voltage drops below the preset value (V
= 4.2 V, see Figure 2), the
