General Description
The TCM811 and TCM812 are cost effective system
supervisory circuits designed to monitor V
DD
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 V
DD
falling through the reset voltage
threshold. RESET is maintained active for a minimum
of 140 msec after V
DD
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 V
= 1V. Both
devices are available in a 4-Pin SOT-143 package,
specified with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The TCM811/TCM812 are optimized to reject fast tran-
sient glitches on the V
line. A low supply current of
6 μA (V
DD
= 3.3V) makes these devices ideal for battery
powered applications.
