FM1233E
3-Pin µC Supervisor Circuit
General Description
The FM1233E is a supervisor circuit that monitors a microprocessor power supply or other system voltage and issues a reset
pulse when a fault condition exists. Several different threshold
voltages are offered to accommodate 3V systems with different
tolerances.
The device features a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator. When V
CC
falls to the threshold
voltage, a RESET pulse is issued, holding the output in the
active state. When power rises above V
TH
, the reset remains for
approximately 250 ms to allow the system clock and other circuits to stabilize. The reset output of FM1233E is of open-drain
active low type.
