TCM811/TCM812
M
4-Pin Microcontroller Reset Monitors
Features
General Description
• Precision VDD Monitor for 2.0V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V,
The TCM811 and TCM812 are cost effective system
supervisory circuits designed to monitor VDD in digital
systems and provide a reset signal to the host control-
ler when necessary. A manual reset input is provided
to override the reset monitor and is suitable for use as
a push-button reset. No external components are
required.
The reset output is driven active within 20 µsec (5 µsec
for F version) of VDD falling through the reset voltage
threshold. RESET is maintained active for a minimum
of 140 msec after VDD rises above the reset threshold.
The TCM812 has an active high RESET output while
the TCM811 has an active low RESET output. The out-
put of the TCM811 is valid down to VDD = 1V. Both
devices are available in a 4-Pin SOT-143 package,
specified with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
5.0V Nominal Supplies
• Manual Reset Input
• 140 msec Minimum RESET Output Duration
• RESET Output Valid to VDD = 1.0V (TCM811)
• Low 6 µA (typ.) Supply Current
• VDD Transient Immunity
• Small 4-Pin SOT-143 Package
• No External Components
• Replacement for MAX811/812 and Offers a Lower
Threshold Voltage Option
• Push-Pull RESET Output
• Temperature Range:
- Commercial (C) -40°C to +85°C
The TCM811/TCM812 are optimized to reject fast tran-
sient glitches on the VDD line. A low supply current of
6 µA (VDD = 3.3V) makes these devices ideal for battery
powered applications.
Applications
