DESCRIPTION
PCS811/PCS812 are low-power microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits used to monitor power supplies in µP
and digital systems. They provide applications with
benefits of circuit reliability and low cost by eliminating
external components. PCS811/PCS812 also offer a
manual reset input.
These devices perform as valid singles in applications with
VCC ranging from 6.0V down to 0.9V. The reset signal
lasts for a minimum period of 140ms whenever VCC
supply voltage falls below preset threshold. Both PCS811
and PCS812 were designed with a reset comparator to
help identify invalid signals, which last less than 140ms.
The only difference between them is that they have an
active-low RESET output and active-high RESET output,
respectively.
Low supply current (1µA) makes PCS811/PCS812 ideal

DETAIL DESCRIPTION
If a brownout condition occurs (VCC drops below the reset
RESET OUTPUT
µP
will be activated at a valid reset state. These
µP
supervisory circuits assert reset to prevent code execution
errors
during
power-up,
power-down,
or

conditions.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for
V
TH
>VCC>0.9V. Once VCC exceeds the reset threshold,
an internal timer keeps RESET low for the reset timeout
period; after this interval, RESET goes high.
MANUAL RESET INPUT
Many
µP-based
products require manual reset capability,
allowing operators, test technicians, or external logic
circuitry to initiate a reset. Logic low on MR asserts reset.
Reset will remain asserted for the Reset Active Timeout
Period (t
RP
) after MR returns high. This input has an
internal 20KΩ pull-up resistor, so it can be floating if it is
not used. MR can be driven with TTL or CMOS-logic
levels, or with open-drain/collector outputs. Another
alternative is to connect a normal switch from MR to GND
to create a manual reset function. Connecting a 0.1µF
capacitor from MR to ground can provide noise immunity
BENEFITS
THRESHOLD
PCS811/812 with specified voltage as 5V±10% or
3V±10% are ideal for systems using a 5V±5% or 3V±5%
power supply. The reset is guaranteed to assert after the
power supply falls out of regulation, but before power
drops below the minimum specified operating voltage
range of the system ICs. The pre-trimmed thresholds are
reducing the range over which an undesirable reset may
occur.

threshold), RESET goes low. Any time VCC goes below
the reset threshold, the internal timer resets to zero, and
RESET goes low. The internal timer is activated after VCC
returns above the reset threshold, and RESET remains
low for the reset timeout period.
The manual reset input (MR) can also initiate a reset.
PCS812 has an active-high RESET output that is the
inverse of PCS811’s RESET output.PCS811’s

output.
to prevent noise caused by long cables of MR or noisy
environment.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
NEGATIVE-GOING VCC TRANSIENTS
In addition to issuing a reset to the
µP
during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, PCS811 series are
relatively resistant to short-duration negative-going VCC
transient.
ENSURING A VALID RESET OUTPUT DOWN TO
VCC=0
When VCC falls below 0.9V, PCS811 RESET output no
longer sinks current; it becomes an open circuit. In this
case, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs connecting to
RESET can drift to undetermined voltages. Therefore,
PCS811/812 with CMOS is perfect for most applications of
VCC below 0.9V. However in applications where RESET
must be valid down to 0V, adding a pull-down resistor to
RESET causes any leakage currents to flow to ground,
holding RESET low.
INTERFACING TO
µP
WITH BIDIRECTIONAL RESET
PINS
µPs
with bidirectional reset pins can contend with
PCS811/812 reset outputs. If PCS811 RESET output is
asserted high and the
µP
wants to pull it low,
indeterminate logic levels may occur. To correct such
cases, connect a resistor between PCS811 RESET (or
PCS812 RESET) output and the
µP
reset I/O. Buffer the
reset output to other system components.
