1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1910 - AS1915 microprocessor supervisory circuits were designed to generate a reset when one of the
two monitored supply voltages falls below a factorytrimmed threshold, and to maintain the reset for a minimum timeout period when both supplies are above their
reset thresholds. Guaranteed to be in the correct state
for VCC higher than +1.0V, these devices are ideal for
multiple-voltage systems with strict monitoring requirements.
The AS1913/AS1914/AS1915 feature factory-trimmed
thresholds to monitor a primary voltage between 1.8 and
3.6V, and a secondary voltage between 0.9 and 2.5V.
For the AS1910/AS1911/AS1912, a secondary monitoring voltage can be user-adjusted via an external resistor
divider down to 0.6V.

The AS1910 - AS1915 include a manual-reset input for
systems that never fully power down the microprocessor. Additionally, these devices feature a watchdog timer
to help ensure that the processor is operating within
proper code boundaries.
3 Applications
The devices are ideal for portable and battery-powered
systems, embedded controllers, intelligent instruments,
automotive systems, critical CPU monitoring, and any
multi-supply application.
The AS1910 - AS1915 are available in a 6-pin SOT23
package.
