Microprocessor Reset Circuits
General Description
The ILC811/ILC812 is a low cost microprocessor superviso-
ry circuit that asserts a reset if the power supply drops below
a designated threshold or the manual reset pin is forced low.
Several different reset thresholds are available to accom-
modate systems operating at 3V, 3.3V or 5V.
The ILC811 has an active low RESET output, while the
ILC812 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 designated reset threshold.
The ILC811/ILC812 is available in a 4-pin SOT-143

Stresses above those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause permanent device failure. Functionality at
or above these limits is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliabil-

Description
Ground Pin.
RESET goes low if V
CC
falls below the reset threshold and
remains asserted for one reset timeout period (140ms min.)
after V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold.
RESET goes high if V
CC
falls below the reset threshold and
remains asserted for one reset timeout period (140ms min.)
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 (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.
Power supply input, 3V, 3.3V or 5V.

Circuit Description
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 a period of 240ms
after V
CC
has risen above the reset threshold voltage or MR
has returned high. The reset function ensures the micro-
processor is properly reset and powers up into a known
condition after a power failure. RESET will remain valid with
V
CC
as low as 1.4V.

RESET Valid to 0V
A resistor can be added from the RESET pin to ground to
ensure the RESET output remains low with VCC down to
0V. A 100kW resistor connected from RESET to ground is
recommended. The size of the resistor should be large
enough to not load the RESET output and small enough to
pull-down any stray leakage currents.

VCC Transients
The ILC811/ILC812 are relatively immune to negative-going
V
CC
glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a nega-
tive-going transient 125µV below the reset threshold with a
duration of 50ms (25µs for ILC81_R/S/T) or less will not
cause an unwanted reset.
Interfacing to Bidirectional Reset Pins
The ILC811/ILC812 can interface with
µPs
with bidirection-
al reset pins by connecting a 4.7kΩ resistor in series with
the ILC811/ILC812 output and the
µP
reset pin.
