General Description
The TC1270 and TC1271 are cost-effective system
supervisor circuits designed to monitor V
CC
in digital
systems and provide a reset signal to the host
processor when necessary. A manual reset input is
provided to override the reset monitor, and is suitable
for use as a push-button reset. No external
components are required.
The reset output is driven active within 20µsec (4µsec
for F version) of V
falling through the reset voltage
CC
threshold. RESET is maintained active for a minimum
of 140msec after V
rises above the reset threshold.
CC
The TC1271 has an active-high RESET output while
the TC1270 has an active-low RESET
output of the TC1270 is valid down to V
output. The
=1V.Both
CC
devices are available in a 4-Pin SOT-143 package.
The TC1270/TC1271 devices are optimized to reject
fast transient glitches on the V
current of 7µA(V
= 3.3V) makes these devices
CC
line. Low supply

suitable for battery powered applications.
