The MIC2775 is a power supply supervisor that provides
under-voltage monitoring, manual reset capability, and poweron reset generation in a compact 5-pin SOT package. Features include an under-voltage detector, a delay generator, a
manual reset input, and both active-high and active-low reset
outputs. The under-voltage detector compares VDD against
a fixed threshold. Ten factory-programmed thresholds are
available.
The reset outputs are asserted for no less than 140ms at
power-on and any time the input voltage drops below the
reference voltage. It remains asserted for the timeout period
after the input voltage subsequently rises back above the
threshold boundary. A reset can be generated at any time by
asserting the manual reset input, /MR. This reset output will
remain active at least 140ms after the release of /MR. The
/MR input can also be used to daisy-chain the MIC2775 onto
existing power monitoring circuitry or other supervisors.
Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering due to noise.
Typical supply current is a low 3.5µA.

Functional Description
VDD Input
The VDD pin is both the power supply terminal and a monitored input voltage. The voltage at this pin is continually
compared against the internal reference. The trip-point at
which a reset occurs is factory programmed. A reset is
triggered if and when VDD falls below the trip-point. Hysteresis is employed to prevent chattering due to noise. The
comparator on the VDD input is relatively immune to very brief
negative-going transients.
RST, /RST Reset Outputs
Typically, the MIC2775 is used to monitor the power supply
of intelligent circuits such as microcontrollers and microprocessors. By connecting the appropriate reset output of a
MIC2775 to the reset input of a µC or µP, the processor will
be properly reset at power-on and during power-down and
brown-out conditions. In addition, asserting /MR, the manual
reset input, will activate the reset function.

The reset outputs are asserted any time /MR is asserted or if

(min) after VDD subsequently returns
RST
above the threshold boundary and/or /MR is released. A reset
pulse is also generated at power-on. Hysteresis is included in
the comparator to prevent chattering of the outputs due to
noise.
/MR, Manual Reset Input
The ability to initiate a reset via external logic or a manual
switch is provided in addition to the MIC2775’s automatic
supervisory functions. Driving the /MR input to a logic low
causes an immediate and unconditional reset to occur.
Assuming VDD is within tolerance when /MR is released
(returns high), the reset outputs will be de-asserted no less
than t
later. /MR may be driven by a logic signal or
RST
mechanical switch. Typically, a momentary push-button switch
is connected such that /MR is shorted to ground when the
switch contacts close. The switch may be connected directly
between /MR and GND. /MR has an internal 100nA pull-up
current to VDD and may be left open if unused.

Application Information
Ensuring Proper Operation at Low Supply
At levels of VDD below 1.2V, the MIC2775’s /RST output
cannot turn on sufficiently to produce a valid logic-low on
/RST. In this situation, circuits driven by /RST could be
allowed to float, causing undesired operation. (In most cases,
however, it is expected that the circuits driven by the MIC2775
will be similarly inoperative at VDD ≤ 1.2V.)
If a given application requires that /RST be valid below V
= 1.2V, this can be accomplished by adding a pull-down
resistor to the /RST output. A value of 100kΩ is recommended as this is usually an acceptable compromise of
quiescent current and pull-down current. The resistor’s value
is not critical, however. See Figure 1.

Transient response
The MIC2775 is inherently immune to very short negativegoing “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the voltage
threshold without tripping the output.
As shown in Figure 3, in general the narrower the transient,
the deeper the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by the
MIC2775. The graph represents the typical allowable transient duration for a given amount of threshold overdrive that
will not generate a reset.

The statements above also apply to the MIC2775’s RST
output. That is, to ensure valid RST signal levels at VDD <
1.2V, a pull-up resistor (as opposed to a pull-down) should be
added to the RST output. A value of 100kΩ is typical for this
application as well. See Figure 2.
