MIC1815 Micrel MIC1815 Microprocessor Reset Circuit General Description Features The MIC1815 is an inexpensive microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors power supplies in microprocessor based systems. The function of these devices is to assert a reset if the power supply drops below a designated reset threshold level. Several different reset threshold levels are available to accommodate 10% or 20% drop in 3.3V powered systems. The MIC1815 has an active low /RESET output. The reset output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of 100ms after VCChas risen above the designated reset threshold level. The MIC1815 comes in a 3-pin SOT-23 package. • Precision voltage monitor for 10% or 20% drop in 3.3V power supplies • /RESET remains valid with VCC as low as 1V • 5µA supply current • 100ms minimum reset pulse width • No external components required • Available in 3-pin SOT-23 package Ordering Information Applications • • • • • Portable equipment Intelligent instruments Critical microprocessor power monitoring Printers/computers Embedded controllers Part Number Marking Threshold Voltage Operating Temp.

A 100kΩ resistor connected from /RESET-to-ground is recommended. The resistor should be large enough not to load the /RESET output and small enough to pull-down any stray leakage currents. See Figure below. Microprocessor Reset The /RESET pin is asserted whenever VCC falls below the reset threshold voltage. The reset pin remains asserted for a period of tRST after VCC has risen above the reset threshold voltage. The reset function ensures the microprocessor is properly reset and powers up into a known condition after a power failure. /RESET will remain valid with VCC as low as 1V. VCC Transients The MIC1815 is relatively immune to negative-going VCC glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a negative-going transient 125mV below the reset threshold with a duration of 20µs or less will not cause an unwanted reset.
