MIC811/812
Microprocessor Reset Ci r cui ts
General Descr i ption
The MIC811 and MIC812 are inexpensive microprocessor
supervisory circuits that monitor power supplies in
microprocessor based systems.
The function of this device is to assert a reset if either the
power supply drops below a designated reset threshold
level or /MR is forced low. Several different reset threshold
levels are available to accommodate 3V, 3.3V or 5V
powered systems.
The MIC811 has an active low /RESET output, while the
MIC812 offers an active high RESET output. The reset
output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a minimum of
140ms after VCC has risen above the designed reset
threshold level. Having a push-pull output stage, the
MIC811/812 does not require a pull-up resistor at the
output. The MIC811/812 comes in a 4-pin SOT-143
package.
If a microprocessor voltage supervisor with an open-drain
output stage is needed, see MIC6315.

Application Inform ation
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET (or RESET) pin is asserted whenever VCC
falls below the reset threshold voltage. The /RESET pin
remains asserted for a period of 140ms after VCC has
risen above the reset threshold voltage. The reset
function ensures that the microprocessor is properly reset
and powers up in a known condition after a power failure.
/RESET will remain valid with VCC as low as 1V.
VCC Transients
The MIC811/812 are relatively immune to negative-going
VCC glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a
negative-going transient 125mV below the reset
threshold with a duration of 20μs or less will not cause a
reset.
Interfacing to Bidirectional Reset Pins
The MIC811/812 c an interface with µPs with bidirectional
reset pins by connecting a 4.7k resistor in series with
the MIC811/812 output and the µP reset pin.
/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
A resistor can be added from the /RESET pin to ground
to ensure the /RESET output remains low with VCC down
to 0V. A 100k resistor connected from the /RESET to
ground is recommended. The size of the resistor should
be large enough not to load the output excessively and
small enough t o pul l -down any stray leakage currents.
Reset Valid to VCC = 0V
