AS1910 - AS1915
Data Sheet - Detailed Description
8 Detailed Description
The AS1910 - AS1915 supervisory circuits were designed to generate a reset when one of the two monitored supply
voltages falls below its factory-trimmed trip threshold (see VTH on page 4 and VTH2 on page 4), and to maintain the
reset for a minimum timeout period (see tRP on page 5) after all supplies have stabilized.
The integrated watchdog timer (see Watchdog Input on page 10) helps mitigate against bad programming code or
clock signals, and/or poor peripheral response. An active-low manual reset input (see Manual Reset Input on page 10)
allows for an externally activated system reset.
RESET/RESETN
Whenever one of the monitored voltages falls below its reset threshold, the RESET output (AS1910, AS1912, AS1913,
AS1915) asserts low or the RESETN output (AS1911, AS1914) asserts high. Once all monitored voltages have stabi-
lized, an internal timer keeps the reset asserted for the reset timeout period (tRP). After the tRP period, the RESET or
RESETN output return to their original state (see Figure 10).
