PCS811/PCS812
5-Pin µP Voltage Supervisor with Manual Reset
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
PCS811/PCS812 are low-power microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits used to monitor power supplies in µP
and digital systems. They provide applications with
benefits of circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating

Internally Fixed Threshold 2.3V, 2.6V, 2.7V,
2.9V, 3.1V, 4.0V, 4.4V, and 4.6V
Tight Voltage Threshold Tolerance: 1.5%
Low profile Package: SOT-23-5
These devices perform as valid singles in applications with
VCC ranging from 6.0V down to 0.9V. The reset signal
lasts for a minimum period of 140ms whenever VCC
supply voltage falls below preset threshold. Both PCS811
and PCS812 were designed with a reset comparator to
help identify invalid signals, which last less than 140ms.
The only difference between them is that they have an
active-low RESET output and active-high RESET output,
respectively.
