Low Power, 3.3V/3.0V µP Reset, Active HIGH, Push-Pull Output
February 2005
General Description
The ASM1817 voltage supervisory device with low-power, 3.3V/
3.0V µP Reset, active HIGH, Push-Pull output. Maximum
supply current over temperature is a low 15µA (at 3.6V).
The ASM1817 generates 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 20% percent. 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 ASM1817 is designed with a push-pull output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in TO-92 and compact surface mount
SOT-23 packages.
Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/
11/12/15/16, ASM1233D and ASM1233M.

Application Information
Operation - Power Monitor
The ASM1817 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 (HIGH) for approximatley 150ms after the power
supply voltage has reached the selected tolerance. This
allows the power supply and microprocessor to stablize
before RESET is released.
