FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®1232 provides power supply monitoring,
watchdog timing and external reset for microprocessor
systems. A precise internal voltage reference and
comparator circuit monitor the power supply line. When
an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the reset outputs
are forced to active states. The RST output is guaranteed
to remain logic low even with VCC as low as 1V.

Guaranteed Reset Assertion at VCC = 1V
■
8-Pin SO Plastic Package
■
2.0mA Maximum Supply Current
■
4.62V/4.37V Precision Voltage Monitor
■
Power OK/Reset Time Delay: 600ms
■
Minimum External Component Count

the reset outputs to active states when the Strobe input is
not forced low prior to a preset time-out period. The

Computers and Controllers
The LTC1232 performs push-button reset control.
The LTC1232 debounces the push-button input
and guarantees an active reset pulse width of 250ms
minimum.
