TC1272/TC1273/TC1274
General Description
The TC1272/TC1273/TC1274 are cost-effective
system supervisor circuits designed to monitor V
CC
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 20 µsec of V
CC
falling through the reset voltage threshold. RESET is
maintained active for a minimum of 100 msec after
V
CC
rises above the reset threshold. The TC1274 has
an active-high RESET output, while the TC1272 and
TC1273 have an active-low RESET output. The
TC1272 and TC1274 each have a complimentary out-
put, while the TC1273 has an open-drain output. The
output of the TC1272 and TC1273 is valid down to V
CC
= 1.2V. The TC1274 is valid down to V
CC
= 1.8V. All
three devices are available in a 3-Pin SOT-23B
package.
The TC1272/TC1273/TC1274 devices are optimized to
reject fast transient glitches on the V
CC
line.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Operation – Power Monitor
t
R
The TC1272/TC1273/TC1274 is designed to function
as a voltage monitor for +5V systems. These devices
provide a RESET signal to indicate that the V
CC
has
dropped below a preset voltage level that is selected by
the suffix part number. In addition, the RESET is held
active for approximately 200 ms after the power supply
has risen above the voltage threshold level to allow
time for the power supply to stabilize before system
operation commences.
