Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 HTH
High-Voltage Theshold (Input): Analog input to a comparator. When the level on this pin initially
rises above V
TH
, the delay generator cycles and the
RESET
remains low or RESET remains high
for a minimum of 140ms.
2 GND Ground
3 LTH
Low-Voltage Threshold (Input): Analog input to a comparator. This is the voltage monitor input
assigned to detect a low voltage condition. When the level on this pin falls below V
TH
,
RESET
or
RESET is asserted and the condition is latched until V
HTH
> VTH.
4
RESET
(RESET)
Reset (Output): Push-pull output. This output is asserted and latched when V
LTH
<VTH, indicating
a low voltage condition. This state remains latched until V
HTH
> VTH. The polarity of this signal
(active-high or low) is determined by the part number suffix. See ordering information.
5 VCC Power Supply (Input): Independent supply input for internal circuitry.
Detailed Description
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a
known state. The G681L/G680L/G680H assert reset to
prevent code-execution errors during power-up,
power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a
reset signal whenever the threshold voltage declines
below V
TH
, keeping it asserted for at least 140ms after
threshold voltage input has risen above the reset
threshold. The G681L uses an open-drain output, and
the G680L/G680H have a push-pull output stage.
Connect a pull-up resistor on the G681L’s
RESET out-
put to any supply between 0 and 5.5V.
Battery voltage is monitored by a comparator via a
voltage divider network. The divided voltage is compared to an internal reference voltage. When the voltage at the LTH input pin drops below the internal reference voltage, the output is asserted. At this point,
the voltage at HTH is assumed to be below the reference voltage.

Applications Information
Negative-Going VCC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions, the
G681L/G680H/G680L are relatively immune to shortduration negative-going V
LTH
transients (glitches).
Figure1. shows typical transient duration vs. reset
comparator overdrive, for which the G681L/G680H/
G680L do not generate a reset pulse. The graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to
V
LTH
, starting 0.1V above the actual reset threshold
and ending below it by the magnitude indicated (reset
comparator overdrive). The graph indicates the maximum pulse width a negative-going V
LTH
transient can
have without causing a reset pulse. As the magnitude
of the transient increases (goes farther below the reset
threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a V
LTH
transient that goes 100mV
below the reset threshold and lasts 7µs or less will not
cause a reset pulse. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor
mounted as close as possible to the V
LTH
pin provides
additional transient immunity.
Programming the Thresholds
The low-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1+R2+R3
V
BAT (Io)
= V
REF
R2+R3
The low-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1+R2+R3
V
BAT (hi)
= V
REF
R3
where, for both equations:
V
BAT (hi)
= 1.245V
In order to provide the additional criteria needed to
solve for the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such that they have a given total value, that is,
R1 + R2 + R3 = R
