MIC6315
Open-Drain µP Reset Circuit
General Description
The MIC6315 is an inexpensive reset generator circuit that
monitors power supplies in microprocessor based sys-
tems.
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 MIC6315 has an active low, open-drain /RESET output.
The reset output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a
minimum of either 20ms, 140ms, or 1100ms after V
CC
has
risen above the designed reset threshold level. The MIC6315
comes in a 4-pin SOT-143 package.
Features
• Precision voltage monitor for 3V, 3.3V or 5V power sup-
plies
• /RESET remains valid with V
CC
as low as 1V
• 5µA supply current
• 20ms, 140ms, or 1100ms minimum reset pulse widths
available
• Manual reset input
• 4-pin SOT-143 package

Pin Function
IC Ground Pin.
/RESET goes low if V
CC
falls below the reset threshold and remains asserted
for one reset timeout period after V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold.
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 after /MR goes
high. This input can be shorted to ground via a switch or be driven by TTL or CMOS
logic. Float if unused.

Wire OR'ing The /RESET Output
Because the RESET output is open-drain, several reset
sources can be wire-ORed, in parallel, to allow resets from
multiple sources.
V
CC
Transients
The MIC6315 is relatively immune to 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 an unwanted reset. If additional
transient immunity is needed, a bypass capacitor can be
placed a close as possible to the MIC6315.

Applications Information
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever V
CC
falls below the
reset threshold voltage or if /MR (manual reset) is forced
low. The /RESET pin remains asserted for the duration of
the reset timeout period after V
CC
has risen above the reset
threshold or /MR has returned high. The reset function en-
sure the microprocessor is properly reset and powers up in
a known condition after a power failure. /RESET will remain
valid with V
CC
as low as 1V.
The /RESET output is a simple open-drain N-channel MOS-
FET structure. A pull-up resistor must be used to pull this
output up to some voltage. For most applications, this volt-
age will be the same power supply that supplies V
CC
to the
MIC6315. It is possible, however, to tie this resistor to some
other voltage. This will allow the MIC6315 to monitor one
voltage while level-shifting the /RESET output to some other
voltage. The pull-up voltage must be limited to 6.0V or less
(absolute maximum) to avoid damage to the MIC6315. The
resistor must be small enough to supply current to the inputs
and leakage paths that are driven by the /RESET output.
/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
As V
CC
drops to 0V, the MIC6315 will no longer be able to
pull the /RESET output low. At this point, the pull-up resistor
will pull the output high. The value of the pull-up resistor and
the voltage it is connected to will affect the point at which
this happens.
