Abstract
A power good signal generating circuit includes an NPN transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a first power source, and a second power source. The first resistor is connected between a base of the transistor and the first power source. The second resistor is connected between a collector of the transistor and the second power source. The third resistor is connected between an emitter of the transistor and ground. The collector is connected to an output for sending a PG signal and the emitter is connected to an input for receiving a control signal P.
