General
Q. Please explain any specific issues that may occur as a result of a relatively large capacitance between VOUT and ground.
A. Output changes will be delayed, resulting in a delay in reset detection/cancellation. Therefore, please verify that there are no adverse effects due to delayed output changes from power supply fluctuations in the actual set, and take this phenomenon under consideration when selecting circuit constants.
Q. Are there any models without hysteresis?
A. No. The entire lineup integrates hysteresis.
Q. Will any problems arise from connecting the NC pins to either Vcc or ground?
A. No, there shouldn't be a problem.
Q. Are the products RoHS-compliant?
A. Yes, all of the products are RoHS-compliant.
Q. What effects, if any, will occur if the SUB pin is not connected to ground (open)?
Also, what type of functions does this terminal have?
A. Effects: Unexpected malfunctions may occur (but this is unlikely).
The SUB terminal:
(BU42□□/BU43□□/BU48□□/BU49□□ series)
On the chip, since the lowest potential is at VDD, the SUB terminal is connected to VDD.
(BD45□□/BD46□□/BD47□□/BD48□□/BD49□□/BD52□□/BD53□□ series)
On the chip, since the lowest potential is at ground, the SUB terminal is connected to ground.
Q. In the application example contained in the specifications, 2 types of reset detection voltages are used, connected in an OR configuration, for example 3.3V and 5V. Will there be any problems using a pull-up method at 5V? (The voltage at the open drain pull-up resistor is greater than the detection voltage.)
A. No problems should occur.
Q. Although there is an overlap between the detection voltage and the hysteresis cancellation voltage, is the detection voltage always less than the cencellation voltage?
A. The detection voltage is designed to be less than the cancellation voltage, and is verified via testing before shipment.
Q. How can one acquire reliability data such as the failure rates (e.g. FIT)?
A. Please inquire at the nearest sales office by phone or fill out this form.
Q. Please provide land patterns.
A. They can be found in the 'mounting specifications' in the external dimensions diagram by clicking on the package link on the relevant product page.
Also, please refer to the following.
BD□□□□F series/BU□□□□F series: SOP4
BD□□□□g series/BU□□□□g series: SSOP5
BD□□□□FVE series/BU□□□□FVE series: VSOF5
Q. The output fall time cannot be determined unless the charge accumulated at the output capacitor is discharged when the power supply is turned OFF. Is there an internal diode that discharges to the power supply line?
A. There is not diode connected between Vout and Vdd. The output NMOS current capability is the IOL listed in the technical notes, and discharge is performed based on this characteristic.
Q. Should Vopl be within the VDD operating voltage range?
A. This is the minimum value of the operating range of the VDD pin.
Q. Is it OK to consider VOPL max as the 10V max. rated/max. supply voltage value?
A. Please consider this to be the absolute maximum rated value (10V for BD series and 7V for BU).
*The surge should also be within 10V or 7V
Standard CMOS (BD48□□, BD49□□, BU48□□, BU49□□)
Q. Regarding non-ROHM specifications (electrical characteristics) for the H transmission delay time for the BD48□□/BD49□□ series, the maximum value is 100µs. Is it possible to state a minimum rated time?
A. Regarding reset output during power supply startup, the power supply rise time will vary depending on the external load.
Because of this the minimum rated value cannot be specified. Please ensure that sufficient margin is included for transient response based on external circuitry or conditions.
Q. When the operating temperature range narrows from -20 to 85ºC, will the hysteresis voltage width become smaller?
A. Variations due to temperature are small, so no large fluctuations will occur. As a reference the value will decrease by about 0.1%.
Q. Please provide the maximum rated output currents of the BD48□□/BD49□□ series.
A. The maximum rated currents are not specified.
It has been confirmed that in a worst case scenario with a maximum rated voltage=10V, no damage will occur even if the VOUT pin is shorted.
Q. In the BU□□/BU49□□/BD48□□/BD49□□ series, when the power supply drops below the detection voltage, delayed output switching will occur.
If the detection voltage recovers during this delay, what will happen?
A. Reference data regarding the specifications for reset recovery time is contained in the technical notes.
With the BU4845, the rise time (tPLH) is 23.3µs and the fall time (tpHL) is 275.9µs,
while for the BU4945 the rise and fall times are 3.5µs and 354.3µs, respectively. (VDD=4.3V←→5.1V)
For cases where the power supply fluctuation is faster than this time the output will become delayed.
If within this reaction time the power supply recovers no reaction from the output will occur.
The output behavior may differ depending on power supply voltage fluctuations or changing conditions. Therefore, ROHM recommends that the customer ensures sufficient margins in their designs.
Q. For the BU48□□/BU49□□/BD48□□/BD49□□ series, is continuous operation possible even with the introduction of instantaneous surge waveforms?
A. For the BU49□□ series with CMOS output, the output will be based on the surge voltage, while in the BU48□□ series with open drain output the pull-up voltage will be output continously. Regarding the reaction time in response to surges, please refer to the reference data for tPHL and tPLH on page 5 of the technical notes.
Q. Please provide the recommended pull-up resistance ranges.
A. BD48□□/BD49□□ series: 10k-1MΩ (VDET=2.3-6.0V)
BU48□□/BU49□□ series: 10k-1MΩ (VDET=1.5-4.8V)
BU48□□/BU49□□ series: 100k-1MΩ (VDET=0.9-1.4V)
However, this value may vary depending on board layout. Therefore, please verify under actual operating conditions.
Q. In cases where the detection voltage of the power supply is greater than 10V, is it possible to connect a resistance between the VDD pin and the power supply?
A. In applications where voltage is input to the VDD terminal via a voltage divider (resistance), a pass-through current will momentarily flow during output logic switching. This current may cause malfunctions.
(Pass-through current: Instantaneous current that flows from VDD to ground during output H←→L switching.)
Configuring a capacitor at the VDD terminal will reduce voltage drop, while connecting one to the output terminal will prevent output reset chatter, suppressing output vibration. However, the capacitance value will affect the reaction time, making it imperative to consider the set conditions when selecting a capacitor.
The BD48□□ series is recommended when introducing a resistor (including resistance divider circuits).
Q. In a system using the BU48□□ series where the input is pulled up to 5V output to another power supply, when the power supply is turned off (i.e. when changing the battery in portable devices), what will happen to the output?
A. When VDD falls below the operating limiting voltage (VOPL) the output will become unstable. For details, please refer to the technical notes (Pg. 5, Fig. 14)
Q. How do you calculate the switching time from H to L once the power supply is turned off from the input capacitor and internal IC resistor?
A. No. The output switching time can be calculated using the discharge of the input capacitor through the IC current consumption. Please estimate using the circuit current given in the electrical characteristics in the technical notes (Pg. 4, Figs. 3, 9, and 10). However, please note that if the power supply is connected to devices other than the reset IC, the total sum of all components must be taken into account when considering the discharge current.
Q. Please inform me of the internal resistance between the input terminal and ground terminal.
A. The circuit current listed in the electrical characteristics in the technical notes, along with examples in Figures 3, 9, and 10 on page 4, allow estimation of the internal resistance.
Q. Does the internal resistance change based on the detection voltage level?
A. The circuit current will vary based on the power supply voltage. Please confirm the supply voltage and internal resistance value referenced in the examples in Figures 3, 9, and 10 on page 4 and the circuit current listed in the electrical characteristics in the technical notes.
Q. Will the internal resistance fluctuate based on temperature changes?
A. The circuit current will change depending on the temperature. Please confirm the supply voltage and internal resistance value referenced in the examples in Figures 3, 9, and 10 on page 4 and the circuit current listed in the electrical characteristics in the technical notes.
Q. Why didn't the reset output switch from L to H when the voltage exceeded the detection voltage threshold?
A. When the power supply voltage starts up the supply voltage will reach a point where it equals the detection voltage plus the hysteresis voltage, after which the IC will switch from L to H. To give an example, with a 3V detection reset IC, the reset voltage will switch from L to H if the voltage supplied is greater than 3V+3V×0.05=3.15V (typ.).
Q. What considerations must be made regarding the BD48□□ series when using a pull-up resistance below the recommended range?
A. First, please confirm that the reset IC output is connected to the L level. Below the detection voltage the reset will output an L level. If the pull-up resistance is too small, the connected IC will not be at the L level, and therefore cannot reset.
Please see below for an example.
For a circuit with an L level of 0.9V (max.), a pull-up supply voltage of 3.3V, a detection voltage of 2.7V, and a pull-up resistance of 4.7kΩ, with a reset IC VDD of 1.5V the L output current will be around 1.0mA (0.4mA min). (Please refer to the electrical characteristics for IOL.)
The reset output level will now be calculated for VDD=1.5V.
VOUT (typ.)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 1.0mA=0V, VOUT(min)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 0.4mA=1.42V.
With an IC with a max. L level of 0.9V, although under normal conditions at VDD=1.5V the L level threshold is satisfied, the L output current minimum is not. However, as VDD rises so will the L level current, which will then satisfy the minimum L level conditions. We cannot determine at what VDD level the L level will be output. Therefore, please evaluate and determine the exact values in the actual set.
Q. What considerations should be taken into account when using the BU48□□ series below the recommened pull-up resistance range?
A. First, please confirm that the reset IC output is connected to the L level. Below the detection voltage the reset will output an L level. If the pull-up resistance is too small, the connected IC will not be at the L level, and therefore cannot reset.
For a circuit with an L level of 0.9V (max.), a pull-up supply voltage of 3.3V, a detection voltage of 2.7V, and a pull-up resistance of 2.0kΩ, with a reset IC VDD of 1.5V the L output current will be around 3.3mA.
The reset output level will now be calculated for VDD=1.5V.
VOUT (typ.)=3.3V-2.0kΩ × 3.3mA=0V, VOUT (min)=3.3V-2.0kΩ × 1.0mA=1.3V.
With an IC with a max. L level of 0.9V, although under normal conditions at VDD=1.2V the L level threshold is satisfied, the L output current minimum is not. However, as VDD rises so will the L level current, which will then satisfy the minimum L level conditions. We cannot determine at what VDD level the L level will be output. Therefore, please evaluate and determine the exact values in the actual set.
Q. Will there be any problems using a power supply with a startup time around 1ms?
A. There shouldn't be any problems. However, we don't know the actual startup method/conditions. Therefore, please monitor the reset output and verify normal operation.
Q. Can I use an input capacitor with a capacitance less than the recommended value?
A. A pass-through current flows during detection. The input capacitor serves to mitigate the voltage drop associated with this current. (The drop will be substantial if voltage is supplied to the IC via a voltage divider.)
The pass-through current may vary based on the customer's usage conditions, external resistance value, and detection voltage startup speed.
Once the voltage drop exceeds the detection hysteresis vibration may occur (please refer to the technical notes).
Therefore, please carefully select the resistor and capacitor that minimizes this voltage drop.
Q. What is the output voltage at the Low level?
A. The output voltage at Low is determined by the output NMOS, and becomes IOL listed in the electrical characteristics. Please refer to the L output current in Figure 4 of the technical notes.
Q. Please explain the relationship between the detection voltage and detection cancellation voltage.
A. The hysteresis voltage is added to the detection voltage VDET, which becomes the detection cancellation voltage.
In measurement samples with a VDET voltage, the hysteresis voltage ΔVDET variation is added, resulting in the detection cancellation voltage.
For the BU48/49 series, VDET × 0.03 (min), VDET × 0.05 (typ), and VDET × 0.07 (max) are specified. In addition there is a 1% variation in the VDET voltage. Therefore, for a VDET of 3.4V, the minimum hysteresis voltage will be 3.366 × 0.03 = 0.101V, while the maximum value is 3.434 × 0.07 = 0.2404V.
CMOS with Flexible Delay Time (BD52□□, BD53□□, BU42□□, BD43□□)
Q. Please provide the recommended range of the external capacitor connected to the CT terminal.
A. The recommended range is 100pF to 0.1µF. However, this may change depending on the circuit layout and other factors. Therefore, please verify under actual usage conditions.
Q. Please explain the calculations for the delay time listed in No.13 of the Usage Precautions
for the BU42□□/BU43□□ series for temperatures up to -30ºC.
A. Based on the reference value for Ta=-25 to 125ºC, the theoretical value will be +0.3×106. Therefore, in theory, the value will go from 6.0×106 to 6.3×106.
However, please note that these values cannot be guaranteed.
Q. The calculation method for the flexible delay time setting is explained as
tPLH=0.69×CCT×RCT. What are the units of each?
A. CCT and RCT are in F and Ω, while tPLH is in s.
Q. Please provide the value for ICT for cases where the applied voltage to the power supply is greater than the detection voltage (BD52□□/BD53□□ series. (In the specifications the ICT value is listed for VDD=0.95V and 1.5V)
A. According to the specifications listed in the data sheet, since ICT is the discharge current from the capacitor connected to the CT terminal, VDD will become lower than the detection voltage.
For example, in the BD5223 when VDD falls below 2.3V, for power supply voltages greater than 2.3V the capacitor at the CT terminal wil become charged. The discharge current ICT for power supplies at 3.0V will be out of specifications.
Q. Please discuss the usage of BD52□□/BD53□□ series ICs (and equivalent products).
As an example, the user wants to generate a reset by supplying a WD signal from the CPU to the IC's CT terminal. Is this possible? Also, a 1000pF capacitor will be connected to CT.
A. Although the situation will change depending on the WD signal,
if WD is a pulse type usage is not recommended (since High/Low pulse detection is difficult).
If the WD signal is not a pulse type, voltage detection is possible using the configuration in the example above.
Q. What is the JEDEC MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) of the BU42□□FVE/BU43FVE series?
Please provide the MSL number.
A. For part numbers BU42□□FVE-TR/BU43□□FVE-TR
the MSL is equivalent to Level 1
Q. When the supply voltage VDD drops below the detection voltage will the device output be High or Low?
A. The output will become Low.
Q. The internal impedance of RCT can vary widely based on the frequency. What frequency (Hz) should we calculate?
A. RCT is mainly comprised of a resistance element, which is not dependent on frequency. Therefore, please refer to the value specified in the technical notes.
Q. What is the recommended capacitance for a reset time between 400ms and 500ms with the BD52□□/BD53□□ series?
A. At 2.5V the Delay Time will be: Delay=0.69×CtxRt.
Therefore, Ct=500ms/(0.69×9M)=0.08µF Ct=400ms/(0.69×9M)=0.06µF
Please select a capacitor accordingly.
Q. On an evaluation board there are 2 BU4327g ICs mounted, connected to 1000pF and 3300pF capacitors, using a common 3.3V power supply.
For the BU42□□/BU43□□ series, the capacitors are used for delay time setting. However, will the tPHL time be affected by a drop in supply voltage? And regarding the tPHL time, after VDET detection, switching is performed in how how much time?
A. As referenced in the technical notes for BU4245g/BU4345g, the sample tPHL (rise/fall delay times) are 275.7µs and 359µs. Please note that these are simply reference values.
Q. Is it possible to initiate reset operation by grounding a transistor at the CT terminal with BD52□□/BD53□□/BU42□□/BU43□□?
A. Yes, it is possible, but the leakage current from the transistor will adversely affect the charge current at the CT terminal, resulting in unstable delay times. Please verify operation and performance under actual conditions.
Q. I've heard that connecting more than a 0.1µF capacitor to the CT terminal will result in output chatter. Under what conditions will this occur?
A. When the output switches from L to H output chatter will be generated as a result of power supply/ground vibration. Connecting an output capacitor (on the order of 1000pF) will reduce this phenomenon.
Q. Are there any problems associated with adding a manual reset circuit at CT for the BU42□□/BU43□□/BD52□□/BD53□□ series?
A. The charge current at the CT terminal (approx. 10MΩ) may be affected by leakage current from the transistor. This can result in reset delay problems, including non-cancellation of reset operation. Therefore, please verify characteristics to ensure stable operation.
Q. Please provide the recommended pull-up resistance ranges.
A. BD52□□/BD53□□ series: 50k-1MΩ (VDET=2.3-6.0V)
BU42□□/BU43□□ series: 50k-1MΩ (VDET=1.5-4.8V)
BU42□□/BU43□□ series: 100k-1MΩ (VDET=0.9-1.4V)
However, this value may vary depending on board layout. Therefore, please verify under actual operating conditions.
Q. In cases where the detection voltage of the power supply is greater than 10V, is it possible to connect a resistance between the VDD pin and the power supply?
A. In applications where voltage is input to the VDD terminal via a voltage divider (resistance), a pass-through current will momentarily flow during output logic switching. This current may cause malfunctions.
(Pass-through current: Instantaneous current that flows from VDD to ground during output H←→L switching.)
Configuring a capacitor at the VDD terminal will reduce voltage drop, while connecting one to the output terminal will prevent output reset chatter, suppressing output vibration. However, the capacitance value will affect the reaction time, making it imperative to consider the set conditions when selecting a capacitor. The BD52□□ series is recommended when introducing a resistor (including resistance divider circuits).
Q. Is there any relationship between the detection voltage and RL?
A. RL=470kΩ is the condition during testing at ROHM and does not affect the detection voltage.
Q. What is the detection voltage fluctuation between -40 and +85ºC?
A. In a sampling of 25 pieces, the variation is -76ppm/ºC between -40ºC and +25ºC, and +26ppm/ºC from +25ºC to +85ºC. However, this data was taken from a single lot, and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Q. Please elaborate on the TPHL delay time and temperature characteristics of the BD52 series.
A. From actual samples, the delay time is 30µs at +25ºC, -1.2µs at +105ºC, and +1.0µs at -40ºC. However, these measurements were taken from a single lot, and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Q. Why didn't the reset output switch from L to H when the voltage exceeded the detection voltage threshold?
A. When the power supply voltage starts up the supply voltage will reach a point where it equals the detection voltage plus the hysteresis voltage, after which the IC will switch from L to H. To give an example, with a 3V detection reset IC, the reset voltage will switch from L to H if the voltage supplied is greater than 3V+3V×0.05=3.15V (typ.).
Q. What considerations must be made regarding the BD52□□ series when using a pull-up resistance below the recommended range?
A. First, please confirm that the reset IC output is connected to the L level. Below the detection voltage the reset will output an L level. If the pull-up resistance is too small, the connected IC will not be at the L level, and therefore cannot reset.
Please see below for an example.
For a circuit with an L level of 0.9V (max.), a pull-up supply voltage of 3.3V, a detection voltage of 2.7V, and a pull-up resistance of 4.7kΩ, with a reset IC VDD of 1.2V the L output current will be around 1.2mA (0.4mA min). (Please refer to the electrical characteristics for IOL.)
The reset output level will now be calculated for VDD=1.2V.
VOUT (typ.)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 1.2mA=0V, VOUT(min)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 0.4mA=1.42V.
With an IC with a max. L level of 0.9V, although under normal conditions at VDD=1.2V the L level threshold is satisfied, the L output current minimum is not. However, as VDD rises so will the L level current, which will then satisfy the minimum L level conditions. We cannot determine at what VDD level the L level will be output. Therefore, please evaluate and determine the exact values in the actual set.
Q. What considerations must be made regarding the BD42□□ series when using a pull-up resistance below the recommended range?
A. First, please confirm that the reset IC output is connected to the L level. Below the detection voltage the reset will output an L level. If the pull-up resistance is too small, the connected IC will not be at the L level, and therefore cannot reset.
Please see below for an example.
For a circuit with an L level of 0.9V (max.), a pull-up supply voltage of 3.3V, a detection voltage of 2.7V, and a pull-up resistance of 2.0kΩ, with a reset IC VDD of 1.5V the L output current will be around 3.3mA (1.0mA min). (Please refer to the electrical characteristics for IOL.)
The reset output level will now be calculated for VDD=1.5V.
VOUT (typ.)=3.3V-2.0kΩ × 3.3mA=0V, VOUT(min)=3.3V-2.0kΩ × 1.0mA=1.3V.
With an IC with a max. L level of 0.9V, although under normal conditions at VDD=1.2V the L level threshold is satisfied, the L output current minimum is not. However, as VDD rises so will the L level current, which will then satisfy the minimum L level conditions. We cannot determine at what VDD level the L level will be output. Therefore, please evaluate and determine the exact values in the actual set.
Q. Will there be any problems if the power supply startup time is around 1ms?
A. If the delay time setting is longer than the startup time there should be no problems. However, since the actual power supply startup method is not known, ROHM recommends that the user monitor the reset output and confirm stable operation.
Q. In the usage precautions regarding pin shorts and erroneous connections the output pins should not be shorted to ground. However, does this also apply to the open drain output IC products listed above?
A. Vout-gND does not apply to open drain output products.
There should be no problems with ground shorts if a switch is connected between Vout and gND.
Q. Is it possible to use if the input capacitance is lower than the recommended range?
A. A pass-through current flows during detection. The input capacitor serves to mitigate the voltage drop associated with this current. (The drop will be substantial if voltage is supplied to the IC via a voltage divider.)
The pass-through current may vary based on the customer's usage conditions, external resistance value, and detection voltage startup speed.
Once the voltage drop exceeds the detection hysteresis vibration may occur (please refer to the technical notes).
Therefore, please carefully select the resistor and capacitor that minimizes this voltage drop.
Q. What is the output voltage at the Low level?
A. The output voltage at Low is determined by the output NMOS, and becomes IOL listed in the electrical characteristics. Please refer to the L output current in Figure 4 of the technical notes.
Q. There is an external switch connected to the CT terminal. Will this cause any problems if I want to implement forced reset?
A. RCT is connected to the CT terminal via VDD. The BU42□□ series features an RCT of 10Ω (typ), 9Ω (min), and 11Ω (max). For an external leak of 1µA, there will be a drop of 11V max. at the CT terminal. As a result, it will be always OFF. Therefore, please select a delay terminal threshold voltage VCTH that will not turn the device OFF.
Q. What is the recommended method for suppressing delay time fluctuation?
A. The primary factor affecting the delay time is the delay circuit resistance RCT. In order to suppress fluctuations it is recommended that external resistance be connected to the CT and VDD terminals. The resistance value must be a size (smaller than RCT) that is negligible compared with the RCT variation. However, the smaller the resistance the faster the delay, meaning that the capacitance at the CT terminal must be increased.
Q. Please explain the relationship between the detection voltage and detection cancellation voltage.
A. The hysteresis voltage is added to the detection voltage VDET, which becomes the detection cancellation voltage.
In measurement samples with a VDET voltage, the hysteresis voltage ΔVDET variation is added, resulting in the detection cancellation voltage.
For the BU52/53 series, VDET × 0.03 (min), VDET × 0.05 (typ), and VDET × 0.08 (max) are specified. In addition there is a 1% variation in the VDET voltage. Therefore, for a VDET of 3.4V, the minimum hysteresis voltage will be 3.366 × 0.03 = 0.101V, while the maximum value is 3.434 × 0.08 = 0.2747V.
CMOS with Built-in Counter Timer (BD45□□, BD46□□)
Q. Please explain the function of the ER pin.
A. The ER terminal is used for forced reset input. When a voltage greater than the High level is supplied, the output becomes Low.
Please refer to the timing waveforms located in the technical notes for more details.
Q. When not using the ER pin (Pin 1) and connecting it to gND, will any failures occur if it is left open?
A. Regarding the ER terminal, a leakage pathway to the H voltage will be generated due to foreign particles (i.e. dirt, dust). In this case, even if the power supply reaches the reset detection voltage, reset cancellation will not be performed. Please refer to Item 10 in the Usage Precautions listed in the data sheet for additional details.
Q. Please provide the timing specifications for inputting an H level input (pulse) at the ER pin for external reset control.
A. 100µs min. Please refer to the timing waveforms located in the specifications for more details.
Q. Please provide the timing characteristics from when the H level is input at the ER pin until the VOUT terminal falls.
A. The time at tPHL is defined as 18µs (typ.).
Q. Regarding voltage detection ICs with delay circuits (BD45□□□/BD46□□□ series), a 0.1µF capacitor is connected to the output (VOUT) in order to suppress noise. Will any problems occur in this situation?
A. A delay caused by the output capacitor component in response to reset detection and removal will be generated. Please verify operation before actual usage.
Q. Please explain switching voltage operation at the ER terminal of BD45□□□/BD46□□□ series products.
A. Please refer to the technical notes on page 2 for the H and L voltages of ER terminal.
Q. Please provide the recommended range for pull-up resistors?
A. From 10k to 1MΩ.
However, this will vary depending on the board layout. Please verify under actual operating conditions.
Q. In cases where the detection voltage of the power supply is greater than 10V, is it possible to connect a resistance between the VDD pin and the power supply?
A. In applications where voltage is input to the VDD terminal via a voltage divider (resistance), a pass-through current will momentarily flow during output logic switching. This current may cause malfunctions.
(Pass-through current: Instantaneous current that flows from VDD to ground during output H←→L switching.)
Configuring a capacitor at the VDD terminal will reduce voltage drop, while connecting one to the output terminal will prevent output reset chatter, suppressing output vibration. However, the capacitance value will affect the reaction time, making it imperative to consider the set conditions when selecting a capacitor.
Q. Why didn't the reset output switch from L to H when the voltage exceeded the detection voltage threshold?
A. When the power supply voltage starts up the supply voltage will reach a point where it equals the detection voltage plus the hysteresis voltage, after which the IC will switch from L to H. To give an example, with a 3V detection reset IC, the reset voltage will switch from L to H if the voltage supplied is greater than 3V+3V×0.05=3.15V (typ.).
Q. What considerations must be made regarding the BD45□□□ series when using a pull-up resistance below the recommended range?
A. First, please confirm that the reset IC output is connected to the L level. Below the detection voltage the reset will output an L level. If the pull-up resistance is too small, the connected IC will not be at the L level, and therefore cannot reset.
Please see below for an example.
For a circuit with an L level of 0.9V (max.), a pull-up supply voltage of 3.3V, a detection voltage of 2.7V, and a pull-up resistance of 4.7kΩ, with a reset IC VDD of 1.2V the L output current will be around 1.2mA (0.4mA min). (Please refer to the electrical characteristics for IOL.)
The reset output level will now be calculated for VDD=1.2V.
VOUT (typ.)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 1.2mA=0V, VOUT(min)=3.3V-4.7kΩ × 0.4mA=1.42V.
With an IC with a max. L level of 0.9V, although under normal conditions at VDD=1.2V the L level threshold is satisfied, the L output current minimum is not. However, as VDD rises so will the L level current, which will then satisfy the minimum L level conditions. We cannot determine at what VDD level the L level will be output. Therefore, please evaluate and determine the exact values in the actual set.
Q. Will there be any problems using a power supply with a startup time around 1ms?
A. There shouldn't be any problems. However, since we don't know the actual startup method/conditions, please monitor the reset output and verify normal operation.
Q. I'm not sure at what reference temperature to calculate the temperature coefficient.
A. Calculation is performed using a reference temp. of 25ºC. VDET [at ambient temperature]=VDET [at 25ºC] × {1+ (Ambient Temperature - 25ºC) × Temperature Coefficient}
Q. Besides reduced strength against external noise, are there any other problems when the external reset terminal is at Hi-Z (open)?
A. Since internal pull-down (approx. 2MΩ) is performed, there should be no problems even if open.
Q. What should be connected at the input stage - current (transistor) or voltage (FET)?
Q. As a countermeasure against leakage between the ER terminal and ground, it is recommended that an external resistor be connected between the VDD and ER terminals (pgs. 8/9, paragraph 10). Why?
A. This simply means if there is low impedance due to some external factor between the ER terminal and ground to connect a small pull-up resistance between the ER terminal and VDD.
Q. Is it possible to use if the input capacitance is lower than the recommended range?
A. A pass-through current flows during detection. The input capacitor serves to mitigate the voltage drop associated with this current. (The drop will be substantial if voltage is supplied to the IC via a voltage divider.)
The pass-through current may vary based on the customer's usage conditions, external resistance value, and detection voltage startup speed.
Once the voltage drop exceeds the detection hysteresis vibration may occur (please refer to the technical notes).
Therefore, please carefully select the resistor and capacitor that minimizes this voltage drop.
Q. What is the output voltage at the Low level?
A. The output voltage at Low is determined by the output NMOS, and becomes IOL listed in the electrical characteristics. Please refer to the L output current in Figure 4 of the technical notes.
Q. Please explain the relationship between the detection voltage and detection cancellation voltage.
A. The hysteresis voltage is added to the detection voltage VDET, which becomes the detection cancellation voltage.
In measurement samples with a VDET voltage, the hysteresis voltage ΔVDET variation is added, resulting in the detection cancellation voltage.
For the BU45/46 series, VDET × 0.03 (min), VDET × 0.05 (typ), and VDET × 0.08 (max) are specified. In addition there is a 1% variation in the VDET voltage. Therefore, for a VDET of 3.4V, the minimum hysteresis voltage will be 3.366 × 0.03 = 0.101V, while the maximum value is 3.434 × 0.08 = 0.2747V.
Q. For a power supply with a Vdd rise of under 100µs, will 'Low' be output reliably from Vout even during counter timer operation?
A. No. The TPLH function will not initiate, resulting in 'High' operation.
Bipolar (BD47□□)
Q. Please provide the recommended pull-up resistance range.
A. From 2k-1MΩ.
However, this will vary depending on board layout Therefore, please verify under actual operating conditions.

For the BU47 series, hysteresis voltages of 30mV (min), 50mV (typ), and 100mV (max) are specified. In addition there is a 1% variation in the VDET voltage. Therefore, for a VDET of 3.4V, the maximum detection cancellation voltage is VDET max (3.434) + 0.10 = 3.534V.
