MIC811/812
Microprocessor Reset Circuits
General Description
The MIC811 and MIC812 are inexpensive microprocessor
supervisory circuits that monitor power supplies in micropro-
cessor based systems.
The function of this device is to assert a reset if either the
power supply drops below a designated reset threshold
level or /MR is forced low. Several different reset threshold
levels are available to accommodate 3V, 3.3V or 5V powered
systems.
The MIC811 has an active low /RESET output, while the
MIC812 offers an active high RESET output. The reset output
is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of 140ms
after V
CC
has risen above the designed reset threshold level.
Having a push-pull output stage, the MIC811/812 does not
require a pull-up resistor at the output. The MIC811/812
comes in a 4-pin SOT-143 package.
If a microprocessor voltage supervisor with an open-drain
output stage is needed, see MIC6315.
Features
• Precision voltage monitor for 3V, 3.3V or 5V power sup-
plies
• /RESET remains valid with V
CC
as low as 1V
• 5µA typical supply current
• 140ms minimum reset pulse width available
• Manual reset input
• Available in 4-pin SOT-143 package

/RESET goes low if V

falls below the reset threshold and remains as-
serted for one reset timeout period (140ms min.) after V

threshold
RESET goes high if V

Manual Reset Input. A logic low on /MR forces a reset. The reset will remain
asserted as long as /MR is held low and for one reset timeout period (140ms
min.) after /MR goes high. This input can be shorted to ground via a switch
or driven from CMOS or TTL logic. Float if unused.
