MIC809-5
Microprocessor Reset Circuit
General Description
The MIC809-5 is a power supply supervisor that provides
under-voltage monitoring and power-on reset generation in
an industry standard 3-pin SOT package and SC-70 pack-
age. The reset output is asserted at power-on and any time
the input voltage drops below the programmed threshold. It
remains asserted for 30ms (min.) after the input subsequently
rises back above the threshold boundary. The MIC809-5 has
an active-low reset output.
The MIC809-5 is inherently immune to brief power supply
transients. Typical supply current is a low 5µA. For those
applications that require a manual reset function, see the
MIC811/812. For those applications that require a longer
reset timeout, see the MIC809/810. (The MIC809-5 is identi-
cal to the industry-standard MIC809 with the exception of a
shorter reset timeout).

Applications Information
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever V
CC
falls below the
reset threshold voltage. The /RESET pin remains asserted
for a period of 30ms after V
CC
has risen above the reset
threshold voltage. The reset function ensures the micropro-
cessor 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.
Transients on V
CC
The MIC809-5 is inherently immune to very short “glitches”
on VCC. In the case of very brief transients, VCC may drop
below the reset-voltage threshold without triggering a reset.
As shown in the graph, the MIC809-5 is relatively immune
to transients with typical duration of 20µs. The lines on the
graph of Figure 1 represent the typical allowable transient
duration for a given amount of threshold overdrive that will
not generate a reset. The data was taken by adding nega-
tive-going square-wave pulse to a DC input voltage set at
0.5V above actual measured threshold for the part being
characterized.

Interfacing to Processors with Bidirectional Reset Pins
Some microprocessors have reset signal pins that are bidi-
rectional, rather than input only. The Motorola 68HC11 fam-
ily is one example. To prevent excessive current flow when
the processor asserts its reset output, a series resistor is
employed between the MIC809-5’s output and the reset pin.
This limits the current that will flow between the MIC809-5
and the reset pin to a theoretical maximum of V
CC
/R
SERIES
.
Because this resistor also limits the drive capability of the
supervisor’s output, a buffer may be required to drive ad-
ditional circuitry. See Figure 3.

Ensuring Proper Operation at Low V
CC
At levels of V
CC
below 1V, the MIC809-5’s output driver cannot
always turn on sufficiently to produce a valid logic-low. In this
situation, other circuits driven by /RESET could be allowed to
float, causing undesired operation. (In most cases, however,
it is expected that the circuits driven by the MIC809-5 will be
similarly inoperative at V
CC
=1V.)
If a given application requires that /RESET be valid below
V
CC
= 1V, this can be accomplished by adding a pull-down
resistor to the output. A value of 100kΩ is recommended, as
this is usually an acceptable compromise of leakage current
and pull-down current. The resistor’s value is not critical,
however. See Figure 2.
