1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1923 microprocessor supervisory circuit was
designed to monitor up to four system supply voltages
without the need for external components, and asserts a
single reset if any of the monitored supply voltages
drops below its reset threshold.
The AS1923 features an active-low reset output that is
asserted when any of the 4 monitored voltages are
below their respective reset threshold. The reset output
is open-drain with a weak internal pullup (10µA) to IN2.
Reset remains low for a specified reset timeout period
(120ms min) after all voltages have stabilized. The output is valid as long as the IN1 or IN2 input voltage
remains >1V.
Minimal external component requirements, small size,
and wide temperature range (-40 to +85°C) greatly
improves reliability compared to individual supervisory
circuits or discrete components.
A wide range of factory-trimmed threshold voltages are
available to accommodate many different supply voltages/tolerances with minimal external component
requirements.
Factory-trimmed options are available for monitoring
+5.0, +3.3, +3.0, +2.5, +1.8, and -5.0V supplies with -5%
and/or -10% tolerances. The device is also available
with one or two user-adjustable threshold options (via
external resistor-divider network) if non-standard voltage
thresholds are required.
