Features
TCM811/TCM812
General Description
The TCM811 and TCM812 are cost effective system
supervisory circuits designed to monitor V
DD
in digital
systems and provide a reset signal to the host control-
ler when necessary. A manual reset input is provided
to override the reset monitor and is suitable for use as
a push-button reset. No external components are
required.
The reset output is driven active within 20 µsec (5 µsec
for F version) of V
DD
falling through the reset voltage
threshold. RESET is maintained active for a minimum
of 140 msec after V
DD
rises above the reset threshold.
The TCM812 has an active high RESET output while
the TCM811 has an active low RESET output. The out-
put of the TCM811 is valid down to V
DD
= 1V. Both
devices are available in a 4-Pin SOT-143 package,
specified with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The TCM811/TCM812 are optimized to reject fast tran-
sient glitches on the V
DD
line. A low supply current of
6 µA (V
DD
= 3.3V) makes these devices ideal for battery
powered applications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The TCM811/TCM812 provides accurate V
DD
monitor-
ing and reset timing during power-up, power-down, and
brownout/sag conditions. These devices also reject
negative-going transients (glitches) on the power sup-
ply line. Figure 2-1 shows the maximum transient dura-
tion vs. maximum negative excursion (overdrive) for
glitch rejection. Any combination of duration and over-
drive that is under the curve will not generate a reset
signal. Combinations above the curve are detected as
a brownout or power-down. Transient immunity can be
improved by adding a 0.1 µF capacitor in close proxim-
ity to the V
DD
pin of the TCM811/812.
(100 kΩ will be suitable for most applications). Simi-
larly, a pull-up resistor to V
DD
is required for the
TCM812 to ensure a valid high RESET for V
DD
below
1.1V.

RESET COMPARATOR OVERDRIVE,

Some microcontrollers have bi-directional reset pins.
Depending on the current drive capability of the control-
ler pin, an indeterminate logic level may result if there
is a logic conflict. This can be avoided by adding a
4.7 kΩ resistor in series with the output of the TCM811/
TCM812 (Figure 2-3). If there are other components in
the system which require a reset signal, they should be
buffered so as not to load the reset line. If the other
components are required to follow the reset I/O of the
microcontroller, the buffer should be connected as
shown with the solid line.

RESET Signal Integrity During Power-
Down
The TCM811 RESET push-pull output is valid to V
DD
=
1.0V. Below this voltage the output becomes an "open
circuit" and does not sink current. This means CMOS
logic inputs to the microcontroller will be floating at an
undetermined voltage. Most digital systems are com-
pletely shutdown well above this voltage. However, in
situations where RESET must be maintained valid to
V
DD
= 0V, a pull-down resistor must be connected from
RESET to ground to discharge stray capacitances and
hold the output low (Figure 2-2). This resistor value,
though not critical, should be chosen such that it does
not appreciably load RESET under normal operation

directional Reset I/O.
