DESCRIPTION
The CAT853, CAT863, CAT859, and CAT869 are
supervisory circuits that monitor power supplies in
digital systems.
These devices generate a reset signal, which is
asserted while the power supply voltage is below a
preset threshold level and for at least 140 ms after the
power supply level has risen above that level. Industry
standard threshold levels are offered to support
+3.3 V or 5.0 V systems.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
The CAT859 and CAT869 feature a RESET push-pull
output (active low) for the two pinout options.
The CAT853 and CAT863 feature an open drain
¯¯¯¯¯¯
RESET output (active low). Both require a pull-up
resistor on the RESET output.
Fast transients on the power supply are ignored and
the output is guaranteed to be in the correct state at
V
CC
levels as low as 1.0 V.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
RESET TIMING
The reset signal is asserted low for the CAT853,
CAT863, CAT859, and CAT869 when the power
supply voltage falls below the threshold trip voltage
and remains asserted for at least 140 ms after the
power supply voltage has risen above the threshold.

TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The CAT853, CAT863, CAT859, and CAT869 protect
µPs against brownout failure. Short duration
transients of 4 µs or less and 100 mV amplitude
typically do not cause a false RESET.
Figure 2 shows the maximum pulse duration of
negative-going V
CC
transients that do not cause a
reset condition. As the amplitude of the transient goes
further below the threshold (increasing V
TH
- V
CC
), the
maximum pulse duration decreases. In this test, the
V
CC
starts from an initial voltage of 0.5 V above the
threshold and drops below it by the amplitude of the
overdrive voltage (V
TH
- V
CC
).
