DESCRIPTION
The L4947/L4947R is a monolithic integrated cir-
cuit in Pentawatt package specially designed to
provide a stabilized supply voltage for automotive
and industrial electronic systems. Thanks to its
very low voltage drop, in automotive applications
the L4947/L4947R can work correctly even during
the cranking phase, when the battery voltage

could fall as low as 6V. Furthermore, it incorpo-
rates a complete range of protection circuits
against the dangerous overvoltages always pre-
sent on the battery rail of the car. The reset func-
tion makes the device particularly suited to supply
microprocessor based systems : a signal is avail-
able (after an externally programmable delay) to
reset the microprocessor at power-on phase ; at
power-off, this signal becomes low inhibiting the
microprocessor.
