DESCRIPTION
PCS809/PCS810 are low-power microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits used to monitor power supplies in µP
and digital systems. They provide applications with
benefits of circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating
external components.
These devices perform as valid singles in applications with
VCC ranging from 6.0V down to 0.9V. The reset signal
lasts for a minimum period of 140ms whenever VCC
supply voltage falls below preset threshold. Both PCS809
and PCS810 were designed with a reset comparator to
help identify invalid signals, which last less than 140ms.
The only difference between them is that they have an
active-low RESET output and active-high RESET output,
respectively.
Low supply current (1µA) makes PCS809/PCS810 ideal

BENEFITS
THRESHOLD
PCS809/810 with specified voltage as 5V±10% or
3V±10% are ideal for systems using a 5V±5% or 3V±5%
power supply. The reset is guaranteed to assert after the
power supply falls out of regulation, but before power
drops below the minimum specified operating voltage
range of the system ICs. The pre-trimmed thresholds are
reducing the range over which an undesirable reset may
occur.

conditions.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for
V
TH
>VCC>0.9V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold,
an internal timer keeps RESET low for the reset timeout
period; after this interval, RESET goes high.
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC drops below the reset
threshold), RESET goes low. Any time VCC goes below
the reset threshold, the internal timer resets to zero, and
RESET goes low. The internal timer is activated after VCC
returns above the reset threshold, and RESET remains
low for the reset timeout period.
Application Information
NEGATIVE-GOING VCC TRANSIENTS
In addition to issuing a reset to the
µP
during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, PCS809 series are
relatively resistant to short-duration negative-going VCC
transient.
ENSURING A VALID RESET OUTPUT DOWN TO
VCC=0
When VCC falls below 0.9V, PCS809 RESET output no
longer sinks current; it becomes an open circuit. In this
case, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs connecting to
RESET can drift to undetermined voltages. Therefore,
PCS809/810 with CMOS is perfect for most applications of
INTERFACING TO
µP
WITH BIDIRECTIONAL RESET
PINS
The RESET output on the PCS809 is open drain, this
device interfaces easily with
µPs
that have bidirectional
reset pins. Connecting the
µP
supervisor’s RESET output
directly to the microcontroller’s RESET pin with a single
pull-up resistor allows either device to assert reset.
VCC below 0.9V. However in applications where RESET
must be valid down to 0V, adding a pull-down resistor to
RESET causes any leakage currents to flow to ground,
holding RESET low.
