DESCRIPTION
TheTL7700Aseriesaremonolithicintegratedcircuit
supplyvoltagesupervisorsspecificallydesi-gnedfor
use as reset controllers in microcomputer and mi-
croprocessorsystems. During power-upthe device
tests the supply voltage and keeps the RESET and
RESET outputs active (high and low, respectively)
as long as the supply voltage has not reached its
nominal voltage value. Taking RESIN low has the
sameeffect.To ensurethatthe microcomputersys-
temhasreset, theTL7700Athen initiatesaninternal
timedelaythat delaysthereturnof the resetoutputs
to theirinactivestates.Since thetimedelay for most
microcomputersandmicroprocessorsis intheorder
of several machine cycles, the device internal time
delayis determinedby an externaltime delay is de-
termined by an externalcapacitorconnectedto the
CT input (pin 3).

td = 1.3 x 104 x CT
Where : CT is in farads (F) and td inseconds (s). In
addition, when the supply voltage drops below the
nominal value, the outputs will be active until the
supply voltage returns to the nominal value. An ex-
ternalcapacitor(typically0.1µF)mustbeconnected
to the REF output (pin 1) to reduce the influence of
fast transientsin the supply voltage.
The TL7700AI series is characterized for operation
from – 25oC to 85oC ; theTL7700ACseries is char-
acterized from 0oC to 70oC.
