Reset Output
The IMP690 has logic-LOW RESET output while the IMP805 has
an inverted logic-HIGH RESET output. Microprocessors with bi-
directional reset pins (69HC11 for example) can pose a problem
when the supervisory circuit and the microprocessor output pins
attempt to go to opposite logic states. The problem can be
resolved by placing a 4.7kΩ resistor between the RESET output
and the microprocessor reset pin. This is shown in Figure 3. Since
the series resistor limits drive capabilities, the reset signal to other
devices should be buffered.
It is important to initialize a microprocessor to a known state in
response to specific events that could create code execution errors
and “lock-up”. The reset output of these supervisory circuits send
a reset pulse to the microprocessor in response to power-up,
power-down/power-loss or a watchdog time-out. The reset pulse
width, tRS, is typically around 200ms and is LOW for the
IMP690A, IMP692A, IMP802 and HIGH for the IMP805L.
Power-up reset occurs when a rising VCC reaches the reset thresh-
old, V , forcing a reset condition in which the reset output is
RT
asserted in the appropriate logic state for the duration of tRS
.
Figure 2 shows the reset pin timing.

A Watchdog time-out reset occurs when a logic “1” or logic “0” is
continuously applied to the WDI pin for more than 1.6 seconds.
After the duration of the reset interval, the watchdog timer starts
a new 1.6 second timing interval; the microprocessor must service
the watchdog input by changing states or by floating the WDI pin
before this interval is finished. If the WDI pin is held either HIGH
or LOW, a reset pulse will be triggered every 1.8 seconds (the 1.6
second timing interval plus the reset pulse width tRS).
