MIC8115
Microprocessor Reset Circuit
General Description
The MIC8115 is an inexpensive microprocessor supervisory
circuit that monitors power supplies in microprocessor based
systems.
The function of this device is to assert a reset if the power
supply drops below a designated reset threshold level or
/MR is forced low.
The MIC8115 has an active low /RESET output. The reset
output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of
1100ms after V
CC
has risen above the designated reset
threshold level. The MIC8115 comes in a 4-pin SOT-143
package.

Pin Function
IC Ground Pin
/RESET goes low if either V
CC
falls below the supply reset threshold voltage
or if /MR is asserted. /RESET remains asserted for one reset timeout period
1100ms min. After both V
CC
exceeds the supply reset threshold voltage and
/MR is deasserted.
Manual Reset Input. A logic low on /MR forces a reset. The reset will re-
main asserted as long as /MR is held low and for one reset timeout period
(1100ms min.) after /MR goes high. This input can be shorted to ground via
a switch or driven from CMOS or TTL logic. Pulled high internally through a
20kΩ resistor. Float if unused.

/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
A resistor can be added from the /RESET pin-to-the 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.
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 1100ms after V
CC
has risen above the reset thresh-
old 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 MIC8115 is relatively immune to the 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 a reset.
