GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC51 is a very low power, open drain output, CMOS
voltage detector with built-in delay. It is particularly well-
suited for battery powered applications because of its ex-
tremely low 1
µA
operating current and small surface-mount
packaging. Each part is laser-trimmed to the desired thresh-
old voltage, which can be specified from 1.6V to 6.0V in 0.1V
steps. The standard built-in output delay is 50 msec – 200
msec.
The device includes a comparator, low-current high-
precision reference, laser-programmed voltage divider, hys-
teresis circuit, and output driver with digital delay timer.
In operation, the TC51’s output (V
OUT
) remains in the
logic HIGH state as long as V
IN
is greater than the
–
specified threshold voltage (V
DET
). When V
IN
falls below
–
V
DET
, the output is immediately driven to a logic LOW.
–
V
OUT
remains LOW until V
IN
rises above V
DET
by an
amount V
HYST
, whereupon it returns to a logic HIGH after
expiration of the built-in delay time.

material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields. Stresses
above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Please refer to Figure 1. In normal steady-state opera-
–
tion, when V
IN
> V
DET
, the output is high. If and when the
–
input falls below V
DET
, the output pulls down (Logic 0) to V
SS
.
Generally, V
OUT
can pull down to within 0.5V of V
SS
at
rated output current and input voltage, (See the
Electrical
Characteristics
section).

PROCESSOR
Processor RESET Supervisor
Figure 2 shows the TC51 used as a processor reset
supervisor. Because the TC51 is available in threshold
settings of 1.6V to 6.0V in 100mV steps, the user can choose
the reset single threshold setting best suited to the system
power supply voltage at hand (please see
Application
Note #36
). Also, the 1µA supply current is significantly lower
than its nearest competitor.
As shown in the timing diagram (Figure 1),V
OUT
is
+
guaranteed low for voltages between 0.7V and V
DET
.The
TC51 activates its on-board delay timer once the power
+
supply voltage is within tolerance (i.e. greater than V
DET
).
V
OUT
is released after delay time (T
DLY
).
Should the power supply voltage momentarily dip
(“brown-out” condition), the TC51 immediately drives and
holds the processor RESET input low. RESET is released
after the power supply voltage is again within tolerance, and
after the delay timer expires. RESET is driven and held low
when power fails (power-off or “blackout”), and is main-
tained low to a guaranteed supply voltage down to 0.7V.
