2-5. +5V Line Voltage Detector Circuit
The voltage-detection IC (IC3 in Fig. 2-13) detects momentary drops or unstable levels in the +5V line voltage. The
following shows an IC3-equivalent circuit.
Fig. 2-14 Equivalent Circuit, Voltage Detection IC
Figure 2-15 shows the IC’s operational timing. The IC asserts a reset signal at its output terminal when the -5V line voltage
falls below 4.25V, thereby resetting the CPU and the gate array.
