ZXCM209
ZXCM210
VERY LOW POWER MICROPROCESSOR RESET DEVICES
DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The ZXCM209/210 are three terminal supervisory
circuits used to monitor the power supplies in
microprocessor and digital systems. They provide a
high performance economical solution when used
with 5V, 3V or lower powered circuits. Reset
thresholds suitable for operation with a variety of
supply voltages are available.

Power supplies
These devices provide a reset signal whenever the
supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, keeping
it asserted for a minimum delay period of 140ms after
the supply has risen above the reset level. The
ZXCM209 has an active-low RESET output (which is
guaranteed to be in the correct state for supplies down
to 1V), while the ZXCM210 has an active-high RESET
output.

APPLICATION CIRCUIT
vcc
The reset comparator has in built hysteresis to prevent
erratic operation and is designed to ignore supply
transients. Low supply current (typically 2µA) makes
the ZXCM209/210 devices ideal for use in portable
equipment. They are available in a 3-pin SOT23
surface mount package with an industry standard
pinout.
