Application Information
Operation – Power Monitor
The DS1810 detects out-of-tolerance power supply conditions. It
resets a processor during power-up, power-down and issues a
reset to the system processor when the monitored power supply
voltage is below the reset threshold. When an out-of-tolerance V
CC
voltage is detected, the RESET signal is asserted. On power-up,
RESET is kept active (LOW) for approximately 150ms after the
power supply voltage has reached the selected tolerance. This
allows the power supply and microprocessor to stabilize before
RESET is released.
Output Conditions
The IMP1810 active LOW reset signal is valid as long as V
CC
remains above 1.2V. The RESET output on the IMP1810 uses a
push-pull drive stage that can maintain a valid output below 1.2V.
To sink current with V
CC
below 1.2V, a resistor can be connected
from the reset pin (RESET) to Ground (see Figure 1). This config-
uration will give a valid value on the RESET output with V
CC
approaching 0V. During both power up and down, this configu-
ration will draw current when RESET is in the high state. A value
of 100kΩ should be adequate to maintain a valid condition.
