Monitor Input (IN)
Connect the center point of a resistive divider to IN to 
monitor external voltages (see R1 and R2 of the Typical 
Operating Circuit). IN has a rising threshold of V
TH
 =  
0.5V and a falling threshold of 0.495V (5mV hysteresis).  
When V
IN
 rises above V
TH
 and ENABLE is high (or 
ENABLE is low) OUT goes high (OUT goes low) after  
the programmed t
DELAY
 period. When V
IN
 falls below 
0.495V, OUT goes low (OUT goes high) after a 16µs 
delay. IN has a maximum input current of 15nA so 
large-value resistors are permitted without adding sig- 
nificant error to the resistive divider.
Adjustable Delay (CDELAY)
When V
IN
 rises above V
TH
 with ENABLE high (ENABLE 
low), the internal 250nA current source begins charging 
an external capacitor connected from CDELAY to GND. 
When the voltage at CDELAY reaches 1V, the output 
asserts (OUT goes high or OUT goes low). When the  
output asserts, C
CDELAY
 is immediately discharged. 
Adjust the delay (t
DELAY
) from when V
IN
 rises above  
V
TH
 (with ENABLE high or ENABLE low) to OUT going 
high (OUT going low) according to the equation:
t
DELAY
 = C
CDELAY
 x 4.0 x 10
6
 + 40µs
where C
CDELAY
 is the external capacitor from CDELAY 
to GND.
For adjustable delay devices (A version), when V
IN
 >  
0.5V and ENABLE goes from low to high (ENABLE  
goes from high to low) the output asserts after a t
DELAY
period. For nonadjustable delay devices (P version)  
there is a 1µs propagation delay from when the enable 
input is asserted to when the output asserts. Figures 2 
through 5 show the timing diagrams for the adjustable and 
fixed delay versions, respectively.
