General Description
The ASM1812 is a voltage supervisory device with low-power,
5V µP Reset, active HIGH, Push-Pull output. Maximum supply
current over temperature is a low 20µA.
The ASM1812 issues an active HIGH reset signal whenever
the monitored supply is out of tolerance. A precision reference
and comparator circuit monitor power supply (V
CC
) level.
Tolerance level options are 5%, 10% and 15%. When an out-of-
tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail signal is
generated which forces an active HIGH reset signal. After V
CC
returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal remains
active for 150ms to allow the power supply and system
microprocessor to stabilize.
The ASM1812 is designed with a push-pull output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in compact surface mount SOT-23
packages and 3-lead TO-92 packages.
Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/
11/15/16/17, ASM1233D and ASM1233M.
