PROCESSOR
The TCM809 and TCM810 are cost-effective system
supervisor circuits designed to monitor VCC in digital systems and provide a reset signal to the host processor when
necessary. No external components are required.
The reset output is driven active within 20msec of V
falling through the reset voltage threshold. Reset is maintained active for a minimum of 140msec after VCC rises
above the reset threshold. The TCM810 has an active-high
reset output while the TCM809 has an active-low reset
output. The output of the TCM809 is guaranteed valid down
to VCC = 1V. Both devices are available in a
SOT-23B-3 package.
The TCM809/810 are optimized to reject fast transient
glitches on the VCC line. Low supply current of 17µA
(V
= 3.3V) makes these devices suitable for battery
CC
powered applications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
V
Transient Rejection
CC
The TCM809/810 provides accurate V
and reset timing during power-up, power-down, and brownout/sag conditions, and rejects negative-going transients
(glitches) on the power supply line. Figure 1 shows the
maximum transient duration vs. maximum negative excursion (overdrive) for glitch rejection. Any combination of
duration and overdrive which lies under the curve will not
generate a reset signal. Combinations above the curve are
detected as a brownout or power-down. Transient immunity
can be improved by adding a capacitor in close proximity to
the VCC pin of the TCM809/810.

valid to VCC = 0V, a pull-down resistor must be connected
from RESET to ground to discharge stray capacitances and
hold the output low (Figure 2). This resistor value, though
not critical, should be chosen such that it does not appreciably load RESET under normal operation (100kΩ will be
suitable for most applications). Similarly, a pull-up resistor to
VCC is required for the TCM810 to ensure a valid high
RESET for VCC below 1.0V.

RESET Signal Integrity During Power-Down
The TCM809 RESET output is valid to VCC = 1.0V.
Below this voltage the output becomes an "open circuit" and
does not sink current. This means CMOS logic inputs to the
µP will be floating at an undetermined voltage. Most digital
systems are completely shutdown well above this voltage.
However, in situations where RESET must be maintained

Processors With Bidirectional I/O Pins
Some µP's (such as Motorola 68HC11) have bidirectional reset pins. Depending on the current drive capability
of the processor pin, an indeterminate logic level may result
if there is a logic conflict. This can be avoided by adding a
4.7k resistor in series with the output of the TCM809/810
(Figure 3). If there are other components in the system
which require a reset signal, they should be buffered so as
not to load the reset line. If the other components are
required to follow the reset I/O of the µP, the buffer should
be connected as shown with the solid line.
