µP Supervisory Circuit
General Description
Features
The ILC1832 is a multifunction circuit which monitors micro-
processor activity, external reset and power supplies in
microprocessor based systems. Ths circuit functions
include a watchdog timer, power supply monitor, micro-
processor reset, and manual pushbutton reset input.

The power supply line is monitored with a comparator and
an internal voltage reference. RST is forced low when an
out-of-tolerance condition exists and remains asserted for
at least 250ms after VCC rises above the threshold voltage

(2.55V or 2.88V). The RST pin will remain logic low with
VCC as low as 1.4V.
The Watchdog input (ST) monitors µP activity and will assert
RST if no µP activity has occurred within the watchdog time-
out period. The watchdog timeout period is selectable with
nominal periods of 150, 600, or 1200 milliseconds.
