INTRODUCTION
The UT01VS33L’s function is to monitor vital supply and signal
voltages in microprocessor systems. It provides for safe reset
during power up, power down and brownout conditions by using
an internal precision voltage reference.
The UT01VS33L monitors activity at an independent watchdog
input by employing an internal timer and a watchdog output that
goes low if the input is not toggled within 1.6s. It provides for
precision voltage threshold detection on an independent voltage
input which could be used for battery or supply-low monitoring
of a supply voltage other than V
DD
.
The UT01VS33L includes an active low manual reset with a push-
pull output.

Description
Manual Reset Input with an internal pull-up.
Active low. MR low forces the reset
output RESET low. Required minimum MR pulse width is 150ns. RESET is held low
for duration of the reset timer.
Power supply.
Operating voltage range is 3.15V to 3.6V. V
DD
level is monitored
internally by a dedicated comparator circuit, which employs an internal bandgap
voltage reference nominally equal to 1.25V. Every time V
DD
falls below the threshold
voltage, nominally 3.08V, RESET and WDO outputs are forced low. (See WDO and
RESET descriptions.) (Figure 4.)
Ground.
This pin should be tied to ground and establishes the reference for voltage
detection.
Threshold detector input.
Voltage on this input is fed directly to an internal
comparator where it is compared to the voltage reference of 0.6V. It can be used for
detection of low battery or power failure of voltage supplies other than V
DD
. When
voltage at PFI input drops below its threshold value of 0.6V, PFO output is forced low,
otherwise, stays high.
Threshold detector output.
Active low push-pull output driver. It responds directly
to PFI input. If PFI voltage is below the bandgap reference voltage, PFO is low. If PFI
is above the reference voltage, PFO output is high.
Watchdog timer input pin.
This pin is typically used to monitor microprocessor
activity. It can assume three states: low, high and float. If WDI is floating or connected
to a high impedance three state buffer, the watchdog timer is not active, and the
corresponding watchdog output WDO is high. Watchdog timer is also not active any
time RESET is low. Providing that RESET is not asserted, any change of state at WDI
that is longer than 100ns will start the timer, or restart it, if the timer is already running
(Figure 3.). If there is no activity within the timeout period, nominally 1.6s, the timer
will stop running and WDO output will go low (Figure 3).
Reset output.
Active low push-pull output driver. This pin is pulled up with a resistor
consistant with the sink and voltage current as specified in the electrical characteristics
table. This output responds to both: V
DD
monitoring circuits and the manual reset
input MR.
On power up, RESET is guaranteed to be logic low for all V
DD
values from 1.2V up
to the reset threshold, nominally 3.08V. Once this threshold is reached, an internal
RESET timer is activated. During the countdown RESET output is kept low. It is
raised high upon completion of countdown, typically after 200ms. If a brown out
condition occurs during the reset timer countdown, the reset timer would be reset and
another countdown would start after V
DD
levels were restored above the reset
threshold. On power down, when V
DD
falls below the threshold voltage, RESET goes
low and is guaranteed to stay low until V
DD
drops below 1.2V.
If MR is asserted low, RESET is forced low and the reset timer is kept reset. When
MR is released high, the timer is activated and RESET is kept low until completion
of the reset timeout, when it is raised high.

Description
Watchdog output.
Active low push-pull output driver. This pin is usually connected
to a non-maskable interrupt input of a microprocessor. On power up, WDO responds
to V
DD
monitoring circuitry. It stays low until the reset threshold, 3.08V nominally,
is reached. At that point, WDO is raised high. The internal watchdog timer is activated
after RESET is released. If there is no activity on WDI input, WDO goes low after
the watchdog timer times out, which is typically after 1.6sec. Any activity on WDI
will force WDO output to go high and the watchdog timer will be activated. If WDI
is floating or connected to a high impedance buffer output, the timer is kept in a reset
state and WDO stays high. When VDD drops below 3.08V, WDO goes low regardless
of whether the watchdog timer has timed out or not. RESET goes low simultaneously
which prevents an interrupt.
If WDI input is left unconnected, WDO can be used as a low line output. Since a
floating WDI disables the internal watchdog timer, WDO goes low when V
DD
drops
below 3.08V, thus, functioning as a low line output. (Figure 4.)
