TC54
Voltage Detector
Features
General Description
• Precise Detection Thresholds: Standard ±2.0%,
Custom ±1.0%
The TC54 series are CMOS voltage detectors that are
especially well suited for battery-powered applications
because of their extremely low 1 µA operating current
and small surface-mount packaging. Each part is laser-
trimmed to the desired threshold voltage, which can be
specified from 1.4V to 7.7V for a 2% tolerance and from
1.5V to 6.0V for a 1% tolerance.
• Small Packages: 3-Pin SOT-23A, 3-Pin SOT-89,
TO-92 and 5-Pin SOT-23A (7.7V only)
• Low Current Drain: Typ. 1 µA
• 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
During operation, the TC54's output (VOUT) remains in
the logic-high state as long as VIN is greater than the
• System Brown-Out Protection
• Switching Circuit in Battery Backup
• Level Discriminator
–
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.
