Detail Descriptions
RESET/RESET Operation
Manual Reset (MR)
The RESET/RESET signals are designed to start a µP/µC in a The active-LOW manual reset input is pulled high by a 250µA

pull-up current and can be driven low by CMOS/TTL logic or a
mechanical switch to ground. An external debounce circuit is
unnecessary since the 140ms minimum reset time will debounce
mechanical pushbutton switches.
The IMP707/708 have two RESET outputs, one active-HIGH
RESET and one active-LOW RESET output. The IMP813L has
only an active-HIGH output. RESET is simply the complement
of RESET.
By connecting the watchdog output (WDO) and MR, a watchdog
timeout forces RESET to be generated. The IMP813L should be
used when an active-HIGH RESET is required.
RESET is guaranteed to be LOW with V above 1.2V. During a
CC
power-up sequence, RESET remains low until the supply rises
above the threshold level, either 4.65V, 4.40V or 4.00V. RESET goes
high approximately 200ms after crossing the threshold.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer available on the IMP705/706/813L monitors
µP/µC activity. If activity is not detected within 1.6 seconds, the
internal timer puts the watchdog output, WDO, into a LOW
state. WDO will remain LOW until activity is detected at WDI.
During power-down, RESET goes LOW as V falls below the
CC
threshold level and is guaranteed to be under 0.4V with V
above 1.2V.
CC
In a brownout situation where V falls below the threshold
level, RESET pulses low. If a brownout occurs during an already-
initiated reset, the pulse will continue for a minimum of 140ms.
The watchdog function is disabled, meaning it is cleared and not
counting, if WDI is floated or connected to a three-stated circuit.
The watchdog timer is also disabled if RESET is asserted. When
RESET becomes inactive and the WDI input sees a high or low
transition as short as 50ns, the watchdog timer will begin a 1.6
CC
Auxiliary Comparator
All devices have an auxiliary comparator with 1.25V trip point second countdown. Additional transitions at WDI will reset the
and uncommitted output (PFO) and noninverting input (PFI). watchdog timer and initiate a new countdown sequence.
This comparator can be used as a supply voltage monitor with an
WDO will also become LOW and remain so, whenever the
external resistor voltage divider. The attenuated voltage at PFI
supply voltage, VCC , falls below the device threshold level. WDO
should be set just below the 1.25 threshold. As the supply level
goes HIGH as soon as VCC transitions above the threshold. There
falls, PFI is reduced causing the PFO output to transit LOW.
