CAT1232LP/CAT1832
5V and 3.3V Supply Monitor, Watchdog Timer,
Manual Reset, with Active High & Low Resets
FEATURES
s
Selectable reset voltage tolerance
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 micro-
processor reset switch. The devices are drop in
replacements for the Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor
DS1232LP and DS1832 supervisors
Precision reference and comparator circuits monitor the
5V or 3.3V 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 5V
supply and 10% or 20% for the CAT1832 3.3V 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
250ms 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: 150ms, 600ms and 1.2sec. If the
ST
input is
not strobed low before the watchdog time out period
expires, the reset signals become active for a minimum
of 250ms.

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 10kΩ to 50kΩ. 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 4.62V for the CAT1232LP
and 2.88V for the CAT1832.
Connecting TOL to VCC makes the VCC trip threshold
4.37V for the CAT1232LP and 2.55V for the CAT1832.
After V
CC
has risen above the trip point set by TOL,
RESET and
RESET
remain active for a minimum time
period of 250ms.
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 1.0V.

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 40kΩ 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 250ms after
PBRST
returns
high.
No external pull-up resistor is required, since
PBRST
is
pulled high by an internal 40kΩ resistor.
PBRST
can be driven from a TTL or CMOS logic line or
short-ed to ground with a mechanical switch.
