The MC34160 Series is a linear voltage regulator and supervisory circuit containing many of the necessary monitoring functions required in microprocessor based systems. It is specifically designed for appliance and industrial applications, offering the designer a cost effective solution with minimal external components. These integrated circuits feature a 5.0 V/100 mA regulator with short circuit current limiting, pinned out 2.6 V bandgap reference, low voltage reset comparator, power warning comparator with programmable hysteresis, and an uncommitted comparator ideally suited for microprocessor line synchronization.Additional features include a chip disable input for low standby current, and internal thermal shutdown for over temperature protection.These linear voltage regulators are contained in a 16 pin dual-in-line heat tab plastic package for improved thermal conduction.
