The ASM1233A is a voltage supervisor with low-power, 3.3V
µP Reset, with an active LOW, open-drain output. Maximum
supply current over temperature is a low 15µA.
The ASM1233A generates an active LOW reset signal
whenever the monitored supply is out of tolerance. A precision
reference and comparator circuit monitor power supply (V
level. The tolerance is 15% for the 3.3V, ASM1233A. When an
out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail
signal is generated which forces an active LOW reset signal.
After V
remains active for 350ms to allow the power supply and system
microprocessor to stabilize.
The ASM1233A is designed with a open-drain output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in compact SOT-223 packages.

Application Information
Operation - Power Monitor
The ASM1233A detects out-of-tolerance power supply
conditions. It resets a processor during power-up, power-
down and generates a reset to the system processor when
the monitored power supply voltage is below the reset
threshold. When an out-of-tolerance V
the RESET signal is asserted. On power-up, RESET is kept
active (LOW) for approximatley 350ms after the power supply
voltage has reached the selected tolerance. This allows the
power supply and microprocessor to stablize before RESET
is released.
