I am designing a low power circuit that uses the TPS61023DRLR
for energy harvesting, charging a 1.5F
5.5V
capacitor. I am then using an SSP61
voltage monitor to detect if the voltage is above a specific threshold to turn on an LDO powering the rest of the circuit.
In theory this was a good idea, but did not work out that great. What I really want is to have some sort of hysteresis and turn the LDO on at a higher voltage level as well as turning it back off at a lower level.
Since I am quite new to designing low power circuits what is the best option to turn the LDO on/off at specific voltage levels whilst being low power?

I modeled the circuit in LTSpice to figure out the exact setpoints I want. I then did a Voltage sweep between 0 and 5.5V and realized that the circuit turns on for Voltages between 1 and 2V. Here are the circuit and simulation:
