NCP304A
Voltage Detector Series
The NCP304A is a second generation ultra−low current voltage
detector. This device is specifically designed for use as a reset
controller in portable microprocessor based systems where extended
battery life is paramount.
This device features a highly accurate undervoltage detector with
hysteresis which prevents erratic system reset operation as the
comparator threshold is crossed.
The NCP304A consists of complementary output devices that are
available with either an active high or active low reset output.
The NCP304A is available in the SC−82AB package with standard
undervoltage thresholds. Additional thresholds that range from 0.9 V
to 4.9 V in 100 mV steps can be manufactured.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The NCP304A is a second generation ultra−low current
voltage detectors. Figures 7 and 8 show a timing diagram
and a typical application. Initially consider that input
voltage V
in
is at a nominal level and it is greater than the
voltage detector upper threshold (V
DET+
), and the reset
output (Pin 3) will be in the high state for active low devices,
or in the low state for active high devices. If there is a power
interruption and V
in
becomes significantly deficient, it will
fall below the lower detector threshold (V
DET−
). This
sequence of events causes the Reset output to be in the low
state for active low devices, or in the high state for active
high devices. After completion of the power interruption,
V
in
will again return to its nominal level and become greater
than the V
DET+
. The voltage detector has built−in hysteresis
to prevent erratic reset operation as the comparator threshold
is crossed.
Although this device is specifically designed for use as a
reset controller in portable microprocessor based systems, it
offers a cost−effective solution in numerous applications
where precise voltage monitoring is required.
