The LM9071 is a 5V, 250 mA low-dropout voltage regulator. The regulator features an active low delayed reset output flag which can be used to reset a microprocessor system on turn-ON and in the event that the regulator output falls out of regulation for any reason. An external capacitor programs a delay time interval before the reset output can return high. Designed for automotive application the LM9071 contains a variety of protection features such as reverse battery, overvoltage shutdown, thermal shutdown, input transient protection and a wide operating temperature range.
