General Description
The TCM809 and TCM810 are cost-effective system
supervisor circuits designed to monitor V
systems; providin g a reset s ignal to th e host proc essor,
when necessary. No external components are
required.
The RESET output is typically driven active within
65 µsec of V
old. RESET is maintained active for a minimum of
140 msec after VDD rises above the reset threshold.
The TCM810 has an act ive-high RESET outp ut, while
the TCM809 has an active-low RESET output. The
output of the TCM809/TCM810 is valid down to
= 1V. Both devices are available in 3-Pin SC-70
V
DD
and SOT-23B packages.
The TCM809/TCM810 are optimized to reject fast
transient glitches on the V

4.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4.1 VDD Transient Rejection
The TCM809/TCM8 10 prov ides accurate V
ing and reset timing during powe r-up, power-d own an d
brown-out/sag conditions. These devices also reject
negative-going transients (glitches) on the power
supply line. Figure 4-1 shows the maximum transient
duration vs. maximum negative excursion (overdrive)
for glitch rejection. Any combination of duration and
overdrive that lies under the curve will not generate a
reset signal.

Combinations above the curve are detected as a
brown-out or power-down condition. Transient
immunity can be improved by adding a capacitor in
close proximity to the V
pin of the TCM809/TCM810.
DD
4.2 RESET Signal Integrity During
Power-Down
The TCM809 RESET output is valid to VDD = 1.0V.
Below this voltage the output becomes an "open circuit" and does not sink current. This means CMOS
logic inputs to the microcontroller will be floating at an
undetermined voltage. Most digital systems are
completely shut down well above this voltage.
However, in situations where RESET
tained valid to V
connected from RESET
= 0V, a pull-down resistor must be
DD
to ground to discharge stray
capacitance s and hold the out put low (Figure4-2). This
resistor value, though not critical, should be chosen
such that it does not appreciably load RESET
normal operation (100 kΩ will be suitable for most
applications). Similarly, a pull-up resistor to VDD is
required for the TCM810 to ensure a valid high RESET
for VDD below 1.0V.
