MIC1832 µP Supervisory Circuit
Pin Functions
Pin 1:
PBRST - Pushbutton reset input. This input is debounced and can be driven with external logic signals or by
means of a mechanical pushbutton to actively force a reset. All pulses less than 1ms in duration on the
PBRST pin are ignored, whereas, any pulse with a duration of 20ms or greater is guaranteed to cause a
reset. PBRST has an internal pull-up resistor to VCC of 40kΩ typical.
Pin 2:
TD - Time delay input. This input selects the timebase used by the watchdog timer. When TD = 0V, the
watchdog timeout period is set to a nominal value of 150ms and when TD = open, the watchdog timeout
period is set to a nominal value of 600ms and when TD = VCC, the watchdog timeout period is 1.2sec
nominally.
Pin 3: TOL - Tolerance select input. Selects whether 5% or 10% of VCC is used as the reset threshold voltage.
When TOL = 0V, the 5% tolerance level is selected and when TOL = VCC, a 10% tolerance level is selected.
Pin 4: GND - IC ground pin, 0V reference.
Pin 5: RST - RST is asserted high if either VCC goes below the reset threshold, the watchdog times out or PBRST is
pulled low for a minimum of 20ms. RST remains asserted for one reset timeout period after VCC exceeds the
reset threshold or after the watchdog times out or after PBRST goes high.
Pin 6: RST - RST is asserted low if either VCC goes below the reset threshold, the watchdog times out or PBRST is
pulled low for a minimum of 20ms. RST remains asserted for one reset timeout period after VCC exceeds the
reset threshold or after the watchdog times out or after PBRST goes high.
Pin 7: ST - Input to the watchdog timer. If ST does not see a transition from high to low within the watchdog timeout
period, RST and RST will be asserted.
Pin 8: VCC - Primary supply input.
