MIC2774
Dual Micro-Power Low Voltage Supervisor
Advance Information
General Description
The MIC2774 is a dual power supply supervisor that provides
under-voltage monitoring, manual reset capability, and power-
on reset generation in a compact 5-pin SOT package. Fea-
tures include two under-voltage detectors, one fixed and one
adjustable, and a choice of reset outputs. One under-voltage
detector compares V
DD
against a fixed threshold. Ten fac-
tory-programmed thresholds are available. The second, user-
adjustable input is compared against a 300mV reference.
This low reference voltage allows monitoring voltages lower
than those supported by previous supervisor ICs.
The reset outputs are asserted at power-on and any time
either voltage drops below the programmed threshold volt-
ages and remains asserted for 140ms (min.) after they
subsequently rise back above the threshold boundaries.
Manual reset functionality can be provided by a switch
connected between ground and the /MR input. A wide choice
of voltage thresholds provides for a variety of supply voltages
and tolerances. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering
due to noise. Typical supply current is a low 3.5µA.

voltage conditions

falls below the thresh-
old voltage. It will remain asserted for no less than 140ms after V

return above the threshold limits.

are above the thresholds when /MR is
released (returns high), the reset output will be de-asserted no less than
140ms later. /MR may be driven by a logic signal or a mechanical switch.
/MR has an internal pull-up to V

and may be left open if unused.
Analog (Input): The voltage on this pin is compared to the internal 300mV
reference. An under-voltage condition will trigger a reset sequence.
Analog (Input): Power supply input for internal circuitry and input to the fixed
voltage monitor. The voltage on this pin is compared against the internal

Functional Description
IN, Under-Voltage Detector Input
The voltage present at the IN pin is compared to the internal
300mV reference voltage. A reset is triggered if and when V
IN
falls below V
REF
. Typically, a resistor divider is used to scale
the input voltage to be monitored such that V
IN
will fall below
V
REF
as the voltage being monitored falls below the desired
trip-point. Hysteresis is employed to prevent chattering due to
noise. The comparator on the IN pin is relatively immune to
very brief negative-going transients.
V
DD
Input
The V
DD
pin is both the power supply terminal and a moni-
tored input voltage. The voltage at this pin is continually
compared against the internal reference. The trip-point at
which a reset occurs is factory programmed. A reset is
triggered if and when V
DD
falls below the trip-point. Hyster-
esis is employed to prevent chattering due to noise. The
comparator on the V
DD
input is relatively immune to very brief
negative-going transients.
RST, /RST Reset Output
Typically, the MIC2774 is used to monitor the power supplies
of intelligent circuits such as microcontrollers and micropro-
cessors. By connecting the appropriate reset output of a
MIC2774 to the reset input of a
µC
or
µP,
the processor will
be properly reset at power-on and during power-down and
brown-out conditions. In addition, asserting /MR, the manual
reset input, will activate the reset function.
The reset output is asserted any time /MR is asserted or if V
IN
or V
DD
drops below the corresponding threshold voltage. The
reset output remains asserted for t
RST
(min) after V
IN
and/or
V
DD
subsequently return above the threshold boundaries
and/or /MR is released. A reset pulse is also generated at
power-on. Hysteresis is included in the comparators to pre-
vent chattering of the output due to noise.
/MR, Manual Reset Input
The ability to initiate a reset via external logic or a manual
switch is provided in addition to the MIC2774’s automatic
supervisory functions. Driving the /MR input to a logic low
causes an immediate and unconditional reset to occur.
Assuming V
IN
and V
DD
are within tolerance when /MR is
released (returns high), the reset output will be de-asserted
no less than t
RST
later. /MR may be driven by a logic signal,
or mechanical switch. Typically, a momentary push-button
switch is connected such that /MR is shorted to ground when
the switch contacts close. Switch de-bouncing is performed
internally; the switch may be connected directly between /MR
and GND. /MR is internally pulled-up to V
DD
and may be left
open if unused.
