<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was looking through all of the different little
system reset IC's that I have and what voltages they are and what they do when
they function and thought there could be some synth uses for them. I guess the
only problem would be that the voltage is fixed. But I could see how it might be
handy to have a circuit that sends a signal when the voltage goes below a
certain point and responds with the voltage going back up with selctable
hysteresis. Anyone ever done anything like this? The big advantage would of
course be its small size and simplicity.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ones I'm specifically talking about are PST52XY
made by Mitsumi. (For the longest time I'd tried to figure out what their logo
was supposed to be and then I realised - duh - it's their name in Japanese:
MI-TSU-MI.) I have others: MC33064, etc. but I haven't looked at their
datasheets as much...</FONT></DIV>
