systems controllers during power up/down and
against brownout conditions. If power supply voltages
are out of tolerance reset signals become active
preventing the system microcontroller, ASIC, or
peripherals from operating.
ꢀ Precision VCC Power Supply Voltage Monitor
— 5 V, 3.3 V and 3 V systems
— Five threshold voltage options
ꢀ Additional voltage monitoring
— Externally adjustable down to 1.25 V
ꢀ Watchdog timer (CAT1027 only)
ꢀ Active High or Low Reset
The CAT1026 features two open drain reset outputs:
¯¯¯¯¯¯
one (RESET) drives high and the other (RESET)
drives low whenever VCC falls below the threshold.
Reset outputs become inactive typically 200ms after
the supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold value.
With both active high and low reset signals, interface
to microcontrollers and other ICs is simple. CAT1027
— Valid reset guaranteed at VCC = 1 V
ꢀ 400 kHz I2C Bus
ꢀ 2.7 V to 5.5 V Operation

has only a RESET output. In addition, the RESET pin
can be used as an input for push-button manual reset
capability.
ꢀ Low power CMOS technology
ꢀ 16-Byte Page Write Buffer
ꢀ Built-in inadvertent write protection
ꢀ 1,000,000 Program/Erase cycles
ꢀ Manual Reset capability
The CAT1026 and CAT1027 provide an auxiliary
voltage sensor input, VSENSE, which is used to monitor a
second system supply. The auxiliary high impedance
comparator drives the open drain output, VLOW
whenever the sense voltage is below 1.25 V threshold.

ꢀ 100 year data retention
ꢀ Industrial and extended temperature ranges
The CAT1027 is designed with a 1.6 second
watchdog timer circuit that resets a system to a known
state if software or a hardware glitch halts or “hangs”
the system. The CAT1027 features a watchdog timer
interrupt input, WDI.
ꢀ 8-pin DIP, SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP or TDFN
(3 x 3 mm foot-print) packages
— TDFN max height is 0.8 mm
For Ordering Information details, see page 19.
The on-chip 2k-bit EEPROM memory features a 16-byte
page. In addition, hardware data protection is provided
by a VCC sense circuit that prevents writes to memory
whenever VCC falls below the reset threshold or until VCC
reaches the reset threshold during power up.
DESCRIPTION
The CAT1026 and CAT1027 are complete memory
and supervisory solutions for microcontroller-based
systems. A 2k-bit serial EEPROM memory and a
system power supervisor with brown-out protection
are integrated together in low power CMOS techno–
logy. Memory interface is via a 400 kHz I2C bus.
Available packages include 8-pin DIP and surface
mount, 8-pin SO, 8-pin TSSOP, 8-pin TDFN and 8-pin
MSOP packages. The TDFN package thickness is
0.8 mm maximum. TDFN footprint is 3 x 3 mm.
The CAT1026 and CAT1027 provide a precision VCC
sense circuit with five reset threshold voltage options
that support 5 V, 3.3 V and 3 V systems. The power
