LM3700/LM3701
Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit with Low Line
Output
General Description
The LM3700/LM3701 series of microprocessor supervisory
circuits provide the maximum flexibility for monitoring power
supplies and battery controlled functions in systems without
backup batteries. The LM3700/LM3701 series are available
in a 9-bump micro SMD package.
Built-in features include the following:
Reset: Reset is asserted during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions. RESET is guaranteed down to V
CC
of
1.0V.
Low Line Output: This early power failure warning indicator
goes low when the supply voltage drops to a value which is
2% higher than the reset threshold voltage.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device
is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the
listed conditions.
Note 2: The Human Body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩresistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ-A,
and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperture is calculated using:
Where the value of θJ-A for the micro SMD package is 220˚C/W.

Circuit Information
RESET OUTPUT
The Reset input of a µP initializes the device into a known
state. The LM3700/LM3701 microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits assert a forced reset output to prevent code execution
errors during power-up, power-down, and brownout condi-
tions.
RESET is guaranteed valid for V
CC
>1V. Once V
CC
ex-
ceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer maintains the
output for the reset timeout period. After this interval, reset
goes high. The LM3700 offers an active-low RESET; The
LM3701 offers an active-high RESET.
Any time V
CC
drops below the reset threshold (such as
during a brownout), the reset activates. When V
CC
again
rises above the reset threshold, the internal timer starts.
Reset holds until V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold for longer
than the reset timeout period. After this time, reset releases.
RESET THRESHOLD
The LM3700/LM3701 family is available with a reset voltage
of 3.08V. Other reset thresholds in the 2.20V to 5.0V range,
in steps of 10 mV, are available; contact National Semicon-
ductor for details.
LOW-LINE OUTPUT (LLO)
The low-line output comparator is typically used to provide a
non-maskable interrupt to a µP when V
CC
begins falling. LLO
monitors V
CC
and goes low when V
CC
falls below V
LLOT
(typically 1.02 •V
RST
) with hysteresis of 0.0032 •V
RST
.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE MICRO SMD
PACKAGE
As with most integrated circuits, the LM3700 and LM3701
are sensitive to exposure from visible and infrared (IR) light
radiation. Unlike a plastic encapsulated IC, the micro SMD
package has very limited shielding from light, and some
sensitivity to light reflected from the surface of the PC board
or long wavelength IR entering the die from the side may be
experienced. This light could have an unpredictable affect on
the electrical performance of the IC. Care should be taken to
shield the device from direct exposure to bright visible or IR
light during operation.
MICRO SMD MOUNTING
The micro SMD package requires specific mounting tech-
niques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Appli-
cation Note AN-1112. Referring to the section Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations,it
should be noted that the pad style which must be used with
the 9-pin package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined)
type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the
PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro
SMD device.
