MIC1815
Microprocessor Reset Circuit
General Description
The MIC1815 is an inexpensive microprocessor supervisory
circuit that monitors power supplies in microprocessor based
systems.
The function of these devices is to assert a reset if the power
supply drops below a designated reset threshold level. Several
different reset threshold levels are available to accommodate
10% or 20% drop in 3.3V powered systems.
The MIC1815 has an active low /RESET output. The reset
output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of
100ms after V
CC
has risen above the designated reset thresh-
old level. The MIC1815 comes in a 3-pin SOT-23 package.
Features

/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
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 resistor should be large enough not to
load the /RESET output and small enough to pull-down any
stray leakage currents. See Figure below.
VCC
Applications Information
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever V
CC
falls below the
reset threshold voltage. The reset pin remains asserted for a
period of t
RST
after V
CC
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 V
CC
as low
as 1V.
V
CC
Transients
The MIC1815 is relatively immune to negative-going V
CC
glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a negative-going
transient 125mV below the reset threshold with a duration of
20µs or less will not cause an unwanted reset.
