General Description
The TC1272A are cost-effective system supervisor
circuits designed to monitor V
DD
in digital systems and
provide a reset signal to the host processor, when
necessary. No external components are required.
The reset output is driven active within 65 µsec (typ.)
of V
DD
falling through the reset voltage threshold.
RESET is maintained active for a minimum of
140 msec after V
DD
rises above the reset threshold.
The TC1272A has a complimentary output. The output
of the TC1272A is valid down to V
DD
= 1.2V. The
device is available in a 3-Pin SOT-23B package.
The TC1272A device is optimized to reject fast
transient glitches on the V
DD
line.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
V
DD
Transient Rejection
Combinations above the curve are detected as a
brown-out or power-down condition. Transient immu-
nity can be improved by adding a capacitor in close
proximity to the V
DD
pin of the TC1272A.
The TC1272A provides accurate V
DD
monitoring and
reset timing during power-up, power-down and brown-
out/sag conditions. These devices also reject negative-
going transients (glitches) on the power supply line.
Figure 3-1 shows the maximum transient duration vs.
maximum negative excursion (overdrive) for glitch
rejection. Any combination of duration and overdrive
that lies under the curve will not generate a reset
signal.

TC1272A/L/M/J
The TC1272A RESET output is valid to V
DD
= 1.0V.
Below this voltage, the output becomes an "open cir-
cuit" and does not sink current. This means CMOS
logic inputs to the microcontroller will be floating at an
undetermined voltage. Most digital systems are com-
pletely shut down well above this voltage. However, in
situations where RESET must be maintained valid to
V
DD
= 0V, a pull-down resistor must be connected from
RESET to ground to discharge stray capacitances and
hold the output low (Figure 3-2). This resistor value,
though not critical, should be chosen such that it does
not appreciably load RESET under normal operation
(100 k will be suitable for most applications).

To Other System
Components
Some microcontrollers have bidirectional reset pins.
Depending on the current drive capability of the
controller pin, an indeterminate logic level may result if
there is a logic conflict. This can be avoided by adding
a 4.7 k resistor in series with the output of the
TC1272A (Figure 3-3). If there are other components in
the system that require a reset signal, they should be
buffered so as not to load the reset line. If the other
components are required to follow the reset I/O of the
microcontroller, the buffer should be connected as
shown with the solid line.
