VOLTAGE DETECTOR WITH SENSE PIN
S-1002 Series
Rev.1.1_02
Application Circuit Examples
1. Microcomputer reset circuits
In microcomputers, when the power supply voltage is lower than the minimum operation voltage, an unspecified
operation may be performed or the contents of the memory register may be lost. When power supply voltage
returns to the normal level, the microcomputer needs to be initialized. Otherwise, the microcomputer may
malfunction after that. Reset circuits to protect microcomputer in the event of current being momentarily switched
off or lowered.
Using the S-1002 Series which has the low minimum operation voltage, the high-accuracy detection voltage and
the hysteresis width, reset circuits can be easily constructed as seen in Figure 35 and Figure 36.
