PulseCore Semiconductor
General Description
The ASM161 and ASM162 are cost effective, low power supervisory circuits that monitor power supplies in
microprocessor, microcontroller and digital systems. If the power supply drops below the reset threshold level, a reset is asserted and remains asserted for atleast 800ms after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. An improved manual reset architecture gives the system designer additional flexibility.
