Typical Application Circuit
General Description
The APX811/812 are used for microprocessor supervisory circuit
to monitor the power supplies in These circuit perform a single
function: they assert a reset signal whenever the Vcc supply
voltage declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for
at least 240ms after Vcc has risen above the reset threshold.
Reset thresholds suitable for operation with a variety of supply
voltages are available. The APX811/812 have push-pull outputs.
The APX811 has an active low
APX812 has an active high RESET output.
The APX811/812 devices incorporate a manual reset input,
A low level at
The APX811/2 are t argeted at 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V a nd 5V powered
systems and are available with different threshold voltages to
meet the exact needs of the system. They ar e available in the
space saving SOT143 package and operate over the whole
industrial temperature range, -40 to 85°C.
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a known state. The APX811/812 asserts reset to prevent code-execution errors
during power-up, power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a reset signal whenever the V

APX811/812 have a push-pull output stage.
The APX811/812 reset output is guaranteed to be logic low for the APX811 and high the APX812 for V

Benefits of Highly Accurate Reset Threshold
Most µP supervisor ICs has reset threshold vol tages between 5% and 10% below the value of nominal supply voltages. This ensures a
reset will not occur within 5% of the nominal supply, but will occur when the supply is 10% below nominal. When using ICs rated at only
the nominal supply ±5%, this leaves a zone of unce rtainty where the supply is be tween 5% a nd 10% low, and w here the reset may or may
not be asserted.
