ZXCM809
ZXCM810
VERY LOW POWER MICROPROCESSOR RESET DEVICES
DESCRIPTION
The ZXCM809/810 are three terminal supervisory
circuits used to monitor the power supplies in
microprocessor and digital systems. They provide a
high performance economical solution when used
with 5V, 3V or lower powered circuits. Reset thresholds
suitable for operation with a variety of supply voltages
are available.
These devices provide a reset signal whenever the
supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, keeping
it asserted for a minimum delay period of 140ms after
the supply has risen above the reset level. The
ZXCM809 has an active-low RESET output (which is
guaranteed to be in the correct state for supplies down
to 1V), while the ZXCM810 has an active-high RESET
output.
The reset comparator has in built hysteresis to prevent
erratic operation and is designed to ignore supply
transients. Low supply current (typically 2 A) makes
the ZXCM809/810 devices ideal for use in portable
equipment. They are available in a 3-pin SOT23 surface
mount package with an industry standard pinout.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Negative going V
CC
transients
The ZXCM809/810 are, to a good degree, immune to
short duration negative going supply transients. Under
certain circumstances very brief transients are allowed
without inappropriate false triggering of the reset
circuit. The response to supply transients is shown in
the Noise Immunity graph in the typical characteristics.
The graph indicates the typical allowable transient
duration for a specified threshold overdrive such that a
reset pulse is not generated. Addition of a bypass
capacitor, e.g. 0.1 F, as close as possible to the V
CC
pin
will provide extra transient immunity.
Reset valid down to very low supply voltages
With V
CC
between 0V and 1V the output of the
ZXCM809/810 may be in an undefined state. In many
systems this is inconsequential as the microprocessor,
and other circuits, will be inoperative with supplies this
low. In applications where this is important, the
addition of an external resistor ensures that the reset
output remains valid for V
CC
< 1V. The resistor value is
non critical: a value of 100k is recommended. For the
ZXCM809 the resistor should be applied between reset
output and ground: for the ZXCM810 between reset
output and V
CC
. Figure 1 shows the connection
diagram for the ZXCM devices in these configurations.
