DESCRIPTION

The DS1233A EconoReset monitors two vital conditions for a microprocessor: power supply and external
override. A precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit are used to monitor the
status of the power supply (V
signal is generated which forces reset to the active state. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition,
the reset signal is kept in the active state for approximately 350ms to allow the power supply and
processor to stabilize. The second function of the DS1233A is pushbutton reset control. The DS1233A
debounces a pushbutton closure and will generate a 350ms reset pulse upon release.

OPERATION — POWER MONITOR

The DS1233A provides the functions of detecting out-of-tolerance power supply conditions and warning
a processor-based system of impending power failure. When VCC is detected as out-of-tolerance as

defined by the tolerance of the part selected, the
for approximately 350ms after the power supply has reached the selected tolerance. This allows the power

supply and microprocessor to stabilize before RST is released.

RST signal is asserted. On power-up, RST is kept active

OPERATION — PUSHBUTTON RESET

The DS1233A provides for a pushbutton switch to be connected to the RST output pin. When the

DS1233A is not in a reset cycle, it continuously monitors the RST signal for a low-going edge. If an edge

is detected, the DS1233A will debounce the switch by pulling the RST line low. After the internal timer

has expired, the DS1233A will continue to monitor the RST line. If the line is still low, the DS1233A will
continue to monitor the line looking for a rising edge. Upon detecting a release, the DS1233A will force

the RST line low and hold it low for 350ms.

NOTE:

For proper operation with an external pushbutton, a capacitor between 100pF and 0.01mF must be

connected between
minimum capacitance of 500 pF should be used, along with a parallel external pull-up resistor of 1kW
minimum.
