Additional Details

The BD4848G operates over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The specific detection voltage is determined by the part number suffix (e.g., BD4848G-2.8 corresponds to a 2.8V detection voltage). The device typically features an open-drain output, which requires an external pull-up resistor. The output remains low when the input voltage is below the detection threshold and goes high when the input voltage exceeds the threshold plus the hysteresis voltage. The supply voltage range is typically between 1.5V and 5.5V. Exact specifications will vary slightly depending on the specific variant of the BD4848G; please refer to the Rohm Semiconductor datasheet for precise values. This part is part of a family of voltage detectors offering a range of detection voltages for various application needs.
