Typical Application Circuit
General Description
The TCM811 and TCM812 are cost effective system
supervisory circuits designed to monitor V
DD
in digital
systems and provide a reset signal to the host
controller when necessary. A manual reset input is
provided to override the reset monitor and is suitable
for use as a push-button reset. No external
components are required.
The reset output is driven active within 20 µs (5 µs for
F version) of V
DD
falling through the reset voltage
threshold. RESET is maintained active for a minimum
of 140 ms after V
DD
rises above the reset threshold.
The TCM812 has an active high RESET output while
the TCM811 has an active low RESET output. The
output of the TCM811 is valid down to V
DD
=1V. Both
devices are available in a 4-Pin SOT-143 package,
specified with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The TCM811/TCM812 are optimized to reject fast
transient glitches on the V
DD
line. A low supply current
of 6 µA (V
DD
= 3.3V) makes these devices ideal for
battery powered applications.
