DESCRIPTION
The DS1810 EconoReset uses a precision temperature reference and comparator circuit to monitor the
status of the power supply (VCC). When an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an intern al power-fail
signal is generated which forces reset to t he active state. When V
CC
returns to an in-tolerance condition,
the reset signal is kept in the active state for approximately 150 ms to allow the power supply and
processor to stabilize.

OPERATION - POWER MONITOR
The DS1810 provides the function 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, th e RST
signal is asserted. On power-up, RST is kept active for approximately 150 ms after the pow er suppl y has
reached the selected tolerance. This allows the power supply and microprocessor to stabilize befor e RST
is released.

OUTPUT VALID CONDITIONS
All versions of the DS1810 can maintain a valid output as long as VCC remains above 1.2 volt. However,
the
RST outputs on the DS1810 use a push-pull structure which can maintain a valid output below 1.2
volts on an input. To sink current below 1.2 volts, a resistor can be connected from RST to Ground (see
Figure 3). This arrangement will maintain a valid value on the
RST outputs even it V
CC
approaches 0
volts. During both power-up and -down this arrangement will draw current when
RST is in the high state.
A value of about 100 kኚ should be adequate to maintain a valid condition.
