R1, R2, and R3 as shown in the “Typical Application.” The
equations to set the trip points are shown below. For the
following example, the circuit’s UV threshold is set to VUV = 37V
and the OV threshold is placed at VOV = 72V, values commonly
used in Central Office power distribution applications.

R3
Given VUV, VOV, and any one resistor value, the remaining
two resistor values can be found. A suggested value for R3
is that which will provide approximately 100µA of current
through the voltage divider chain at VDD = VUV. This yields the
following as a starting point:
R3 = VOVH(typ) = 12.23kΩ
100µA
The closest standard 1% value for R3 = 12.4kΩ. Solving for
R2 and R1 yields:

VOV = 71.2V
Programmable UVLO Hysteresis—MIC2594
The MIC2594 has user-programmable hysteresis by means of
the ON and OFF pins. This allows setting the part to turn on at
a voltage V1, and not turn off until a second voltage V2, where
V2 < V1. This can significantly simplify dealing with source
impedances in the supply bus while at the same time increasing
the amount of available operating time from a loosely regulated
power supply (for example, a battery supply). Similarly to the
MIC2588, each of these pins is internally connected to an
Micrel
analog comparator with 20mV of hysteresis. The MIC2594
holds the output off until the voltage at the ON pin exceeds its
VONH threshold value given in the “Electrical Characteristics”
table. Once the output has been enabled by the ON pin, it will
remain on until the voltage at the OFF pin falls below its VOFFL
threshold value, or the part turns off due to a fault. Should either
event occur, the GATE pin is immediately pulled low and will
remain low until the ON pin once again exceeds its VONH
threshold. The circuit’s turn-on and turn-off points are set using
the resistor divider R1, R2, and R3 as shown in the “Typical
Application.” The equations to establish the trip points are
shown below. In the following example, the circuit’s ON thresh-
old is set to VON = 40V and the circuit’s OFF threshold is VOFF
= 35V.

Given VOFF, VON, and any one resistor value, the remaining
two resistor values can be readily found. A suggested value
for R3 is that which will provide approximately 100µA of
current through the voltage divider chain at VDD = VOFF. This
yields the following as a starting point:
R3 = VOFFL(typ) = 12.23kΩ
100µA
The closest standard 1% value for R3 = 12.4kΩ.
Then, solving for R2 and R1 yields:
