MIC2776 Micrel MIC2776 Micro-Power Low Voltage Supervisor Advance Information General Description Features The MIC2776 is a power supply supervisor which provides under-voltage monitoring and power-on reset generation in a compact 5-pin SOT package. Features include an adjustable under-voltage detector, a delay-generator, a manual reset input, and a choice of active-high, active-low, or open-drain active-low reset output. The user-adjustable monitoring input is compared against a 300mV reference. This low reference voltage allows monitoring voltages lower than those supported by previous supervisor ICs. The reset output is asserted for no less than 140ms at poweron and any time the input voltage drops below the reference voltage. It remains asserted for the timeout period after the input voltage subsequently rises back above the threshold boundary. A reset can be generated at any time by asserting the manual reset input, /MR. The reset output will remain active at least 140ms after the release of /MR. The /MR input can also be used to daisy-chain the MIC2776 onto existing power monitoring circuitry or other supervisors. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering due to noise.

See ordering information table. tions. In addition, asserting /MR, the manual reset input, will activate the reset function. The reset outputs are asserted any time /MR is asserted or if VIN drops below the threshold voltage. The reset outputs remain asserted for tRST(min) after VIN subsequently returns above the threshold boundary and /MR is released. A reset pulse is also generated at power-on. /MR, Manual Reset Input The ability to initiate a reset via external logic or a manual switch is provided in addition to the MIC2776’s automatic supervisory functions. Driving the /MR input to a logic low causes an immediate and unconditional reset to occur. Assuming VIN is within tolerance when /MR is released (returns high), the reset output will be de-asserted no less than tRST later. /MR may be driven by a logic signal, or mechanical switch. Typically, a momentary push-button switch is connected such that /MR is shorted to ground when the switch contacts close. The switch may be connected directly between /MR and GND. /MR has an internal 100nA pull-up current to VDD and may be left open if unused. Functional Description IN, Under-Voltage Detector Input The voltage present at the IN pin is compared to the internal 300mV reference voltage. A reset is triggered if and when VIN falls below VREF. Typically, a resistor divider is used to scale the input voltage to be monitored such that VIN will fall below VREF as the voltage being monitored falls below the desired trip-point. Hysteresis is employed to prevent chattering due to noise. RST, /RST Reset Output Typically, the MIC2776 is used to monitor the power supply of intelligent circuits such as microcontrollers and microprocessors. By connecting the reset output of a MIC2776 to the reset input of a µC or µP, the processor will be properly reset at power-on and during power-down and brown-out condi- September 29, 2000 5 MIC2776 MIC2776 Micrel To summarize, the various potential error sources are: • Variation in VREF: specified at ±1.5% • Resistor tolerance: chosen by designer (typically ≤ ±1%) • Input bias current, IIN: calculated once resistor values are known, typically very small Application Information Programming the Voltage Threshold Referring to the “Typical Application Circuit”, the voltage threshold is calculated as follows: VTH = VREF × (R1+ R2) R2 where VREF = 0.300V In order to provide the additional criteria needed to solve for the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such that the two resistors have a given total value, that is, R1 + R2 = RTOTAL. Imposing this condition on the resistor values provides two equations that can be solved for the two unknown resistor values. A value such as 1MΩ for RTOTAL is a reasonable choice since it keeps quiescent current to a generally acceptable level while not causing any measurable errors due to input bias currents. The larger the resistors, the larger the potential errors due to input bias current (IIN). The maximum recommended value of RTOTAL is 3MΩ. Applying this criteria and rearranging the VTH expression to solve for the resistor values gives: R2 = ( Taking the various potential error sources into account, the threshold voltage will be set slightly below the minimum VCORE specification of 0.950V so that when the actual threshold voltage is at its maximum, it will not intrude into the normal operating range of VCORE. The target threshold voltage will be set as follows: Given that the total tolerance on VTH is [VREF tolerance] + [resistor tolerance] = ±1.5% + ±1% = ±2.5%, and VTH(max) = VCORE(min), then VCORE(min) = VTH + 2.5% VTH = 1.025 VTH, therefore, solving for VTH results in ) R TOTAL (VREF ) VTH = VTH 1.025 = 0.950 = 0.9268V 1.025 Solving for R1 and R2 using this value for VTH and the equations above yields: R1 = 676.3kΩ ≈ 673kΩ R2 = 323.7kΩ ≈ 324kΩ The resulting circuit is shown in Figure 1. Input Bias Current Effects Now that the resistor values are known, it is possible to calculate the maximum potential error due to input bias current, IIN. As shown in the “Electrical Characteristics” table, the maximum value of IIN is 10nA. (Note that the typical value is a much smaller 5pA!) The magnitude of the offset caused by IIN is given by: R1 = R TOTAL − R2 Application Example Figure 1 below illustrates a hypothetical MIC2776 application in which the MIC2776 is used to monitor the core supply of a high-performance CPU or DSP. The core supply, VCORE, in this example is 1.0V ±5%. The main power rail and I/O voltage, VI/O, is 2.5V ±5%. As shown in Figure 1, the MIC2776 is powered by VI/O. The minimum value of VI/O is 2.5V –5% = 2.375V; the maximum is 2.5V +5% = 2.625V. This is well within the MIC2776’s power supply range of 1.5V to 5.5V. Resistors R1 and R2 must be selected to correspond to the VCORE supply of 1.0V. The goal is to insure that the core supply voltage is adequate to insure proper operation, i.e., VCORE ≥ (1.0V –5%) = 0.950V. Because there is always a small degree of uncertainty due to the accuracy of the resistors, variations in the devices’ voltage reference, etc., the threshold will be set slightly below this value. The potential variation in the MIC2776’s voltage reference is specified as ±1.5%. The resistors chosen will have their own tolerance specification. This example will assume the use of 1% accurate resistors. The potential worst-case error contribution due to input bias current can be calculated once the resistor values are chosen. If the guidelines above regarding the maximum total value of R1+R2 are followed, this error contribution will be very small thanks to the MIC2776’s very low input bias current. MIC2776 VCORE(min) VERROR = IIN(max) × (R1|| R2) = VERROR = ±1× 10 −8 A × 2.189 × 105 Ω = VERROR = ±2.189 × 10 −3 V = VERROR = ±2.189mV The typical error is about three orders of magnitude lower than this - close to one microvolt! Generally, the error due to input bias can be discounted. If it is to be taken into account, simply adjust the target threshold voltage downward by this amount and recalculate R1 and R2. The resulting value will be very close to optimum. If accuracy is more important than the quiescent current in the resistors, simply reduce the value of RTOTAL to minimize offset errors. 6 September 29, 2000 MIC2776 Micrel VCORE 1.0V ±5% Ensuring Proper Operation at Low Supply At levels of VDD below 1.2V, the MIC2776L’s /RST output driver cannot turn on sufficiently to produce a valid logic-low on the /RST output. In this situation, other circuits driven by /RST could be allowed to float, causing undesired operation. (In most cases, however, it is expected that the circuits driven by the MIC2776L will be similarly inoperative at VDD ≤ 1.2V.) If a given application requires that /RST be valid below VDD = 1.2V, this can be accomplished by adding a pull-down resistor to the /RST output. A value of 100kΩ is recommended as this is usually an acceptable compromise of leakage current and pull-down current. The resistor’s value is not critical, however. See Figure 4. The statements above also apply to the MIC2776H’s RST output. That is, to ensure valid RST signal levels at VDD < 1.2V, a pull-up resistor (as opposed to a pull-down) should be added to the RST output. A value of 100kΩ is typical for this application as well.

MIC2776 Example Design Interfacing to Processors With Bidirectional Reset Pins Some microprocessors have reset signal pins that are bidirectional, rather than input only. The Motorola 68HC11 family is one example. Because the MIC2776N’s output is opendrain, it can be connected directly to the processor’s reset pin using only the pull-up resistor normally required.

MIC2776L Valid /Reset Below 1.2V Transient Response The MIC2776 is inherently immune to very short negativegoing “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the voltage threshold without tripping the output. As shown in Figure 3, the narrower the transient, the deeper the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by the MIC2776. The graph represents the typical allowable transient duration for a given amount of threshold overdrive that will not generate a reset.
