TC1232
Microprocessor Monitor
Features
General Description
• Precision Voltage Monitor
- Adjustable +4.5V or +4.75V
• Reset Pulse Width – 250 msec minimum
• No External Components
• Adjustable Watchdog Timer
- 150 msec, 600 msec or 1.2 sec
• Operating Voltage 4.0V to 5.5V
• Debounced Manual Reset Input for External
Override
The TC1232 is a fully-integrated processor supervisor
that provides three important functions to safeguard
processor sanity: precision power on/off reset control,
watchdog timer and external reset override.
On power-up, the TC1232 holds the processor in the
reset state for a minimum of 250 msec after VCC is
within tolerance to ensure a stable system start-up.
Microprocessor sanity is monitored by the onboard
watchdog circuit. The microprocessor must provide a
periodic low-going signal on the ST input. Should the
processor fail to supply this signal within the selected
time-out period (150 msec, 600 msec or 1200 msec),
an out-of-control processor is indicated and the
TC1232 issues a processor reset as a result.

The outputs of the TC1232 are immediately driven

push button switch or other electronic signal. When
connected to a push button switch, the TC1232
provides contact debounce.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.1
Power Monitor
VCC = 5V
+4.5V (5% Trip Point)
The TC1232 provides the function of warning the
processor of a power failure. When VCC is detected as
being below the voltage levels defined by the TOL pin,
the TC1232’s comparator outputs the RST and RST
signals to a logic level that warns the system of an outof-tolerance power supply. The RST and RST signals
switch at a threshold value of 4.5V if TOL is tied to VCC,
and at a value of 4.75 volts if TOL is grounded. The
RST and RST signals are held active for a minimum of
250 ms to ensure that the power supply voltage has
been stabilized.

The debounced manual reset input (PB RST) manually
forces the reset outputs into their active states.
Figure 4-5 shows a block diagram for using the
TC1232 with a push button switch.
VCC
Once PB RST has been low for a time tPBD (the pushbutton delay time), the reset outputs go active. The
reset outputs remain in their active states for a
minimum of 250 ms after PB RST rises above VIH.
Figure 4-6 shows a waveform for the push button
switch input and the reset pins output.
A mechanical push button or active logic signal can
drive the PB RST input. The debounced input ignores
input pulses less than 1 ms and recognizes pulses of
20 ms or greater. No external pull-up resistor is
required because the PB RST input has an internal
pull-up to VCC of approximately 100 µA.

Watchdog Timer
When the ST input is not stimulated for a preset time
period, the watchdog timer function forces RST and
RST signals to the active state. The preset time period
is determined by the TD inputs to be 150 ms with TD
connected to ground, 600 ms with TD floating or
1200 ms with TD connected to VCC (typ.). The
watchdog timer starts timing-out from the set time
period as soon as RST and RST are inactive. If a highto-low transition occurs on the ST input pin prior to
time-out, the watchdog timer is reset and begins to
time-out again. If the watchdog timer is allowed to timeout, the RST and RST signals are driven to the active
state for 250 ms, minimum (Figure 4-7).
Figure 4-8 shows the expected reset output pin waveforms depending on the period of the ST pin falling
edge and the state of the TD input pin.

The software routine that strobes ST is critical. The
code must be in a section of software that is executed
frequently enough so the time between toggles is less
than the watchdog time-out period. One common
technique controls the microprocessor I/O line from two
sections of the program. The software might set the I/O
line high while operating in the Foreground mode and
set it low while in the Background or Interrupt modes. If
both modes do not execute correctly, the watchdog
timer issues reset pulses.
tTD is the maximum elapsed time between ST high-tolow transitions (ST is activated by falling edges only),
which will keep the watchdog timer from forcing the
reset outputs active for a time of tRST. tTD is a function
of the voltage at the TD pin, as tabulated below:

Supply Monitor Noise Sensitivity
The TC1232 is optimized for fast response to negativegoing changes in VDD. Systems with an inordinate
amount of electrical noise on VDD (such as systems
using relays) may require a 0.01 µF or 0.1 µF bypass
capacitor to reduce detection sensitivity. This capacitor
should be installed as close to the TC1232 as possible
to keep the capacitor lead length short.

TC1232 with a PICmicro® MCU and the Watchdog
input.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
MICROCHIP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR

arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at
the buyer’s risk, and the buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
