TC54
M
Voltage Detector
Features
General Description
• Precise Detection Thresholds: Standard ±2.0%,
Custom ±1.0%
The TC54 Series are CMOS voltage detectors, suited
especially for battery-powered applications because of
their extremely low 1µA operating current and small
surface-mount packaging. Each part is laser trimmed to
the desired threshold voltage which can be specified
from 1.1V to 6.0V and 7.7V, for a 2% and 1.5V to 6.0V
for a 1% tolerance.
• Small Packages: 3-Pin SOT-23A, 3-Pin SOT-89,
5-Pin SOT-23A (7.7V only)
• Low Current Drain: Typ. 1µA
• Wide Detection Range: 1.1V to 6.0V and 7.7V
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: 0.7V to 10V
The device includes a comparator, low-current high-
precision reference, laser-trimmed divider, hysteresis
circuit and output driver. The TC54 is available with
either an open-drain or complementary output stage.
Applications
• Battery Voltage Monitoring
• Microprocessor Reset
In operation, the TC54's output (VOUT) remains in the
logic HIGH state as long as VIN is greater than the
specified threshold voltage (VDET-). When VIN falls
below VDET - the output is driven to a logic LOW. VOUT
remains LOW until VIN rises above VDET - by an
amount VHYST, whereupon it resets to a logic HIGH.
• System Brown-out Protection
• Switching Circuit in Battery Backup
• Level Discriminator
