DESCRIPTION
The CAT1232LP and CAT1832 microprocessor
supervisors can halt and restart a “hung-up” or
“stalled” microprocessor, restart a microprocessor
after a power failure, and debounce a manual/push-
button microprocessor reset switch. The devices are
drop in replacements for the Maxim/Dallas
Semiconductor DS1232LP and DS1832 supervisors
Precision reference and comparator circuits monitor
the 5 V or 3.3 V system power supply voltage, V
CC
.
During power-up or when the power supply falls
outside selectable tolerance limits, both the RESET
¯¯¯¯¯¯
and RESET become active. After the power supply
voltage rises above the RESET threshold voltage, the
reset signals remain active for a minimum of 250ms,
allowing the power supply and system processor to
stabilize. The trip-point tolerance input, TOL, selects
the trip level tolerance to be either 5% or 10% for the
CAT1232LP 5 V supply and 10% or 20% for the
CAT1832 3.3 V supply.
Each device has a push-pull, active HIGH reset
output. The CAT1232LP also has an open drain,
active LOW reset output while the CAT1832 also has
a push-pull, active LOW reset output.
A debounced manual reset input activates the reset
outputs and holds them active for a minimum period of
250 ms after being released.
Also included is a watchdog timer to reset a
microprocessor that has stopped due to a software or
hardware failure. Three watchdog time-out periods are
¯¯
selectable: 150 ms, 600 ms and 1.2 s. If the ST input
is not strobed low before the watchdog time out period
expires, the reset signals become active for a
minimum of 250 ms.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE MONITOR
Reset Signal Polarity and Output Stage Structure
¯¯¯¯¯¯
RESET is an active LOW signal. It is developed with
an open drain driver in the CAT1232LP. A pull-up
resistor is required, typical values are 10 kΩ to 50 kΩ.
The CAT1832 uses a CMOS push-pull output stage
¯¯¯¯¯¯
for the RESET.
RESET is an active High signal developed by a
CMOS push-pull output stage and is the logical
¯¯¯¯¯¯
opposite to RESET.
Trip Point Tolerance Selection
The TOL input is used to select the V
CC
trip point
threshold. This selection is made connecting the
TOL input to ground or V
CC
. Connecting TOL to
Ground makes the V
CC
trip threshold 4.62 V for the
CAT1232LP and 2.88 V for the CAT1832.
Connecting TOL to V
CC
makes the V
CC
trip threshold
4.37 V for the CAT1232LP and 2.55 V for the
CAT1832.
After V
CC
has risen above the trip point set by TOL,
¯¯¯¯¯¯
RESET and RESETremain active for a minimum time
period of 250 ms.
On power-down, once V
CC
falls below the reset
threshold the RESET outputs will remain active and
are guaranteed valid down to a V
CC
level of 1.0 V.

Manual Reset Operation
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Push-button input, PBRST, allows the user to issue
reset signals. The pushbutton input is debounced and
is pulled high through an internal 40 kΩ resistor.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
When PBRST is held low for the minimum time of
20 ms, both resets become active and remain active
for a minimum time period of 250 ms after PBRST
returns high.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
No external pull-up resistor is required, since PBRST
is pulled high by an internal 40 kΩ resistor.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
PBRST can be driven from a TTL or CMOS logic line
or short-ed to ground with a mechanical switch.
