Microprocessor Reset Circuits
Final Information
General Description
The MIC811 and MIC812 are inexpensive microprocessor
supervisory circuit that monitors power supplies in micropro-
cessor based systems.
The function of this device is to assert a reset if either the
power supply drops below a designated reset threshold level
or /MR is forced low. Several different reset threshold levels
are available to accommodate 3V, 3.3V or 5V powered
systems.
The MIC811 has an active low /RESET output, while the
MIC812 offers an active high RESET output. The reset output
is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of 140ms
after V
CC
has risen above the designed reset threshold level.
Having a push-pull output stage, MIC811/812 does not
require a pull-up resistor at the output. The MIC811/812
comes in a 4-pin SOT-143 package.
If a microprocessor voltage supervisor with an open-drain
output stage is needed, see MIC6315.

Manual Reset Input. A logic low on /MR forces a reset. The reset will remain
asserted as long as /MR is held low and for one reset timeout period (140ms
min.) after /MR goes high. This input can be shorted to ground via a switch
or driven from CMOS or TTL logic. Float if unused.

/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
A resistor can be added from the /RESET pin to ground to
ensure the /RESET output remains low with V
CC
down to 0V.
A 100kΩ resistor connected from the /RESET to ground is
recommended. The size of the resistor should be large
enough not to load the output excessively and small enough
to pull-down any stray leakage currents.
Applications Information
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET (or RESET) pin is asserted whenever V
CC
falls
below the reset threshold voltage. The /RESET pin remains
asserted for a period of 140ms after V
CC
has risen above the
reset threshold voltage. The reset function ensures the
microprocessor is properly reset and powers up in a known
condition after a power failure. /RESET will remain valid with
V
CC
as low as 1.4V.
V
CC
Transients
The MIC811/812 are relatively immune to negative-going
V
CC
glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a negative-
going transient 125mV below the reset threshold with a
duration of 50µs (25µs for MIC8_R/S/T) or less will not cause
a reset.
Interfacing to Bidirectional Reset Pins
The MIC811/812 can interface with
µPs
with bidirectional
reset pins by connecting a 4.7kΩ resistor in series with the
MIC811/812 output and the
µP
reset pin.
