rev 1.0 Low Power, 5µP Reset, Active LOW, Open-Drain Output
September 2003
General Description
The ASM1233D is a voltage supervisory device with low-power,
5V µP Reset, and an active LOW, open-drain output. Maximum
supply current over temperature is a low 20µA.
The ASM1233D generates an active LOW reset signal
whenever the monitored supply is out of tolerance. A precision
reference and comparator circuit monitor power supply (VCC)
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 LOW reset signal.
After VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal
remains active for 350ms to allow the power supply and system
microprocessor to stabilize.
The ASM1233D is designed with a open-drain output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in compact surface mount SOT-223
packages and 3-lead TO-92 packages.
Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/
11/12/15/16/17 and ASM1233M.
