AS1910 - AS1915
Dual-Voltage Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits with Manual Reset
and Watchdog

Datasheet
1 General Description
The AS1910 - AS1915 microprocessor supervisory circuits were
designed to generate a reset when one of the two monitored supply
voltages falls below a factory-trimmed threshold, and to maintain the
reset for a minimum timeout period when both supplies are above
their reset thresholds. Guaranteed to be in the correct state for V
CC
higher than +1.0V, these devices are ideal for multiple-voltage
systems with strict monitoring requirements.
The AS1913/AS1914/AS1915 feature factory-trimmed thresholds to
monitor a primary voltage between 1.8 and 3.6V, and a secondary
voltage between 0.9 and 2.5V.
For the AS1910/AS1911/AS1912, a secondary monitoring voltage
can be user-adjusted via an external resistor divider down to 0.6V.
The devices are available with the reset output types listed in Table
1.
The AS1910 - AS1915 include a manual-reset input for systems that
never fully power down the microprocessor. Additionally, these
devices feature a watchdog timer to help ensure that the processor is
operating within proper code boundaries.
The AS1910 - AS1915 are available in a 6-pin SOT23 package.
