DESCRIPTION
The DS1232 Micro-Monitor monitors three vital conditions for a microprocessor: power supply, software execution,
and external override.
First, a precision temperature compensated reference and comparator circuit monitors
the status of VCC. When an out–of–tolerance condition occurs, an internal power fail signal is generated which
forces reset to the active state. When VCC returns to an in–tolerance condition, the reset signals are kept in the
active state for a minimum of 250ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize.
the DS1232 performs is pushbutton reset control.
The second function
The DS1232 debounces the pushbutton input and guarantees
an active reset pulse width of 250ms minimum. The third function is a watchdog timer. The DS1232 has an
internal timer that forces the reset signals to the active state if the strobe input is not driven low prior to time–out.
The watchdog timer function can be set to operate on time–out settings of approximately 150ms, 600ms, and 1.2
seconds.

TYPICAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
DS1232
Fig.1. Block Diagram
Fig 2. Typical Application
Power Monitor
The DS1232 detects out-of-tolerance power supply conditions and warns a processor-based system of impending
power failure. When V
CC
falls below a preset level as defined by TOL (Pin 3), the V
CC
comparator outputs the
RST
signals RST (Pin 5) and
½½½½½
(Pin 6). When TOL is connected to ground, the RST and
½½½½½
signals become
RST
RST
active as V
CC
falls below 4.75 volts. When TOL is connected to V
CC
, the RST and
½½½½½
signals become active
½½½½½
as V
CC
falls below 4.5 volts. The RST and
RST
are excellent control signals for a microprocessor, as processing
½½½½½
is stopped at the last possible moments of valid V
CC
. On power-up, RST and
RST
are kept active for a minimum
of 250 ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize.
Pushbutton Reset
The DS1232 provides an input pin for direct connection to a pushbutton. The pushbutton reset input requires an
active low signal. Internally, this input is debounced and timed such that RST and
½½½½½
signals of at least 250
RST
ms minimum are generated. The 250 ms delay starts as the pushbutton reset input is released from low level.
Watchdog Timer
ST
A watchdog timer function forces RST and
½½½½½
signals to the active state when the
½½½
input is not stimulated for
RST
a predetermined time period. The time period is set by the TD input to be typically 150 ms with TD connected to
ground, 600 ms with TD left unconnected, and 1.2 seconds with TD connected to V
CC
. The watchdog timer
starts timing out from the set time period as soon as RST and
½½½½½
are inactive. If a high-to-low transition
RST
occurs on the
½½½
input pin prior to timeout, the watchdog timer is reset and begins to timeout again. If the
ST
½½½½½
watchdog timer is allowed to timeout, then the RST and
RST
signals are driven to the active state for 250 ms
minimum. The
½½½
input can be derived from microprocessor address signals, data signals, and/or control
