MIC803

3-Pin Microprocessor Supervisor Circuit

with Open-Drain Reset Output

General Description Features

The MIC803 is a single-voltage supervisor with open-drain • 4.5μA supply current (typical) at 3.6V
reset output that provides accurate power supply • Open-drain /RESET output
monitoring and reset generation in microprocessor-based
• /RESET remains valid with VCC as low as 1V
systems. The function of the device is to assert a reset
signal if the power supply voltage drops below the reset • 20ms, 140ms, or 1120ms (minimum) reset timeout
threshold voltage, and retain this reset for the reset options
timeout period once the power supply increases above the • 2.63V to 4.63V preset voltage threshold options
reset threshold voltage. • 2.5% voltage threshold accuracy over temperature
The MIC803 consumes only 4.5µA of supply current and • 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm)
offers three reset delay periods of 20ms, 140ms, and • 3-pin SOT-23 package (2.3mm × 2.9mm)
1120ms (minimum). It features factory-programmed reset • -40˚C to +125˚C junction temperature range
threshold levels from 2.63V to 4.63V to accommodate
3.0V, 3.3V, and 5.0V power supplies. It is available in the Applications
compact 3-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages.

Application Information
Microprocessor Reset /RESET Valid at Low Voltage
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever VCC falls below the As VCC drops to 0V, the MIC803 will no longer be able to
reset threshold voltage, VTH. The /RESET pin remains pull the /RESET output low, and the pull-up resistor will
asserted for the duration of the reset timeout period pull the output high. The value of the pull-up resistor and
(tRESET) after VCC has risen above the reset threshold the voltage it is connected to will affect the point at which
voltage. The reset function ensures the microprocessor is this happens.
properly reset and powers up in a known condition after a
power failure. /RESET will remain valid with VCC as low
as 1.0V.
The /RESET output is a simple open-drain N-channel
MOSFET structure. A pull-up resistor must be used to
pull this output up to some voltage. For most applications,
this voltage will be the same power supply that supplies
VCC to the MIC803. As shown in Figure 1, it is possible,
however, to tie this resistor to some other voltage. This
will allow the MIC803 to monitor one voltage while level-
shifting the /RESET output to some other voltage. The
pull-up voltage must be limited to 5.5V. The resistor must
be small enough to supply current to the inputs and
leakage paths that are driven by the /RESET output.

sources can be wire-ORed, in parallel, to allow resets

RESET RESET The MIC803 is relatively immune to negative-going VCC
glitches below the reset threshold (see Typical
Characteristics, graph titled “Maximum Transient

overdrive voltage is the difference between the threshold
voltage and the minimum point of the VCC glitch.
Typically, an overdrive of 100mV, with duration of 15μs or

is needed, a 0.1μF bypass capacitor can be placed as
close as possible to the MIC803 on the VCC pin.
