TC54
Voltage Detector
Features:
• ±2.0% Detection Thresholds
• Small Packages: 3-Pin SOT-23A, SOT-89, and
TO-92
• Low Current Drain: 1 µA, typical
• Wide Detection Range: 1.1V to 6.0V
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: 0.7V to 10V
General Description:
The TC54 series are CMOS voltage detectors espe-
cially well-suited for battery-powered applications
because of their extremely low 1 µA operating current
and small surface-mount packaging. Each part is laser-
trimmed to the desired threshold voltage, which can be
specified from 1.4V to 6.0V with a 2% tolerance.
The TC54 is available with either an open-drain or com-
plementary output stage. During operation, the 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 driven to a
logic-low. V
OUT
remains low until V
IN
rises above
V
DET
– by an amount V
HYST
, when it resets to a logic-
high state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In normal steady-state operation when V
IN
> V
DET
–,
the output will be at a logic-high (see
Figure 3-1).
In the
case of the TC54VN, this is an open-drain condition. If
the input falls below V
DET
–, the output will pull 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
Section 1.0
“Electrical
Characteristics”).
The output (V
OUT
) will stay valid until the input voltage
falls below the minimum operating voltage (V
INMIN
) of
0.7V. Below this minimum operating voltage, the output
is undefined. During power-up (or anytime V
IN
has
fallen below V
INMIN
), V
OUT
will remain undefined until
V
IN
rises above V
INMIN
. When this occurs, the output
will become valid. V
OUT
will be in its Active-low state,
while V
INMIN
< V
IN
< V
DET
+ (therefore, V
DET
+ = V
DET
–
+ V
HYST
). If the input rises above V
DET
+, the output will
assume its Inactive state (high for TC54VC, open-drain
for TC54VN).
