MIC2776
Micro-Power Low Voltage Supervisor
General Description
The MIC2776 is a power supply supervisor which provides
under-voltage monitoring and power-on reset generation in a
compact 5-pin SOT package. Features include an adjustable
under-voltage detector, a delay-generator, a manual reset
input, and a choice of active-high, active-low, or open-drain
active-low reset output. The user-adjustable monitoring input
is compared against a 300mV reference. This low reference
voltage allows monitoring voltages lower than those supported
by previous supervisor ICs.
The reset output is asserted for no less than 140ms at power-
on and any time the input voltage drops below the reference
voltage. It remains asserted for the timeout period after the
input voltage subsequently rises back above the threshold
boundary. A reset can be generated at any time by asserting
the manual reset input, /MR. The reset output will remain ac-
tive at least 140ms after the release of /MR. The /MR input
can also be used to daisy-chain the MIC2776 onto existing
power monitoring circuitry or other supervisors. Hysteresis
is included to prevent chattering due to noise. Typical supply
current is a low 3.0µA.

Functional Description
IN, Under-Voltage Detector Input
The voltage present at the IN pin is compared to the internal
300mV reference voltage. A reset is triggered if and when
V
IN
falls below V
REF
. Typically, a resistor divider is used to
scale the input voltage to be monitored such that V
IN
will fall
below V
REF
as the voltage being monitored falls below the
desired trip-point. Hysteresis is employed to prevent chat-
tering due to noise.
RST, /RST Reset Output
Typically, the MIC2776 is used to monitor the power supply
of intelligent circuits such as microcontrollers and micropro-
cessors. By connecting the reset output of a MIC2776 to the
reset input of a µC or µP, the processor will be properly reset
at power-on and during power-down and brown-out condi-
tions. In addition, asserting /MR, the manual reset input, will
activate the reset function.
The reset outputs are asserted any time /MR is asserted or
if V
IN
drops below the threshold voltage. The reset outputs
remain asserted for t
RST
(min) after V
IN
subsequently returns
above the threshold boundary and /MR is released. A reset
pulse is also generated at power-on.
/MR, Manual Reset Input
The ability to initiate a reset via external logic or a manual
switch is provided in addition to the MIC2776’s automatic
supervisory functions. Driving the /MR input to a logic low
causes an immediate and unconditional reset to occur. As-
suming V
IN
is within tolerance when /MR is released (returns
high), the reset output will be de-asserted no less than t
RST
later. /MR may be driven by a logic signal, or mechanical
switch. Typically, a momentary push-button switch is con-
nected such that /MR is shorted to ground when the switch
contacts close. The switch may be connected directly between
/MR and GND. /MR has an internal 100nA pull-up current to
V
DD
and may be left open if unused.
