Stresses above those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause permanent device failure. Functionality at or above these limits is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability. Operating ranges define those limits between which the functionality of the device is guaranteed.

MIC1815 Microprocessor Reset Circuit
Circuit Description
Microprocessor Reset
The RESET pin is asserted whenever VCC falls below
the reset threshold voltage. The reset pin remains
asserted for a period of 150ms after VCC has risen
above the reset threshold voltage. The reset function
ensures the microprocessor is properly reset and powers
up into a known condition after a power failure. RESET
will remain valid with VCC as low as 1.4V.
VCC Transients
The MIC1815 is relatively immune to negative-going
VCC glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a
negative-going transient 125mV below the reset
threshold with a duration of 50µs or less will not cause
an unwanted reset.

RESET Valid to 0V
A resistor can be added from the RESET pin to ground
to ensure the RESET output remains low with V CC
down to 0V. A 100KΩ resistor connected from RESET
to ground is recommended. The size of the resistor
should be large enough to not load the RESET output
