The LM3722/LM3723/LM3724 microprocessor supervisory
circuits monitor the power supplies in microprocessor and
digital systems. They provide a reset to the microprocessor
during power-up, power-down, brown-out conditions, and
manual reset.
The LM3722/LM3723/LM3724 asserts a reset signal whenever the supply decreases below the factory-programmed
reset threshold for at least 100 ms. The reset signal remains
asserted for 190 ms after V
The LM3722 has anactive-low RESET push-pull output. The
LM3723 has an active-high RESET push-pull output. The
LM3724 has an active-low open-drain RESET output.
Three standard reset voltage options are available, suitable
for monitoring 5V, 3.3V, and 2.5V supply voltages. Additional
reset voltages are also available; contact National Semiconductor for details.

Circuit Information
Reset Output
The reset input of a µP initializes the device into a known
state. The LM3722/LM3723/LM3724 microprocessor voltage
monitoring circuits assert a forced reset output to prevent
code execution errors during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions.
RESET is guaranteed valid for V
the reset threshold, an internal timer maintains the output for
the reset timeout period. After this interval, reset goes high
and the microprocessor initializes itself into a known state.
The LM3722 and LM3724 offer an active-low RESET; the
LM3723 offers an active-high RESET.
As V
drops below the reset threshold (such as during a
CC
brownout), the reset activates (see the
Transients
section). When VCCagain rises above the reset
threshold, the internal timer starts. Reset holds until V
exceeds the reset threshold for longer than the reset timeout
period. After this time, reset releases.
Additionally, the Manual Reset input (MR) will initiate a
forced reset. See the
Manual Reset Input

Reset Threshold
The LM3722/LM3723/LM3724 are available with reset voltages of 4.63V, 3.08V, and 2.32V which are suitable for
monitoring 5.0V, 3.3V, and 2.5V supplies respectively. Other
reset thresholds in the 2.20V to 5.0V range, in 10 mV steps,
are available; contact National Semiconductor for details.
Manual Reset Input (MR)
Many µP-based products require a manual reset capability,
allowing the operator to initiate a reset. The MR input is fully
debounced and provides an internal22 kΩ pull-up. When the
MR input is pulled below V
(0.25VCC) for more than 100 ns,
IL
reset is asserted after a typical delay of 2 µs. Reset remains
active as long as MR is held low,andreleases after MR rises
above VIHand the reset timeout period expires. Use MR with
digital logic to assert reset or to daisy chain supervisory
circuits.
Applications Information
Benefits of Precision Reset Thresholds
A microprocessor supply supervisor must provide a reset
output within a predictable range of the supply voltage. A
common threshold range is between 5% and 10% below the
nominal supply voltage.The 4.63V,3.08V and 2.32V options
of the LM3722/LM3723/LM3724 usehighly accurate circuitry
to ensure that the reset threshold occurs only within this
range (for 5.0V, 3.3V and 2.5V supplies).
the standard reset thresholds apply to 5.0V, 3.3V, and 2.5V

Ensuring a Valid Reset Output Down to V
When V
falls below 1V, the LM3722 RESET output is
CC
unable to sink the rated current. A high-impedance CMOS
logic input connected to RESET can therefore drift to undetermined voltages. Toprevent this situation, a100kΩ resistor
should be connected from the RESET output to ground, as
shown in
Figure 1
.

A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor mounted as close as possible to

Microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins, such as the
