MIC2775
Micro-Power Voltage Supervisor
General Description
The MIC2775 is a power supply supervisor that provides
under-voltage monitoring, manual reset capability, and
power-on reset generation in a compact 5-pin SOT package.
Features include an under-voltage detector, a delay genera-
tor, a manual reset input, and both active-high and active-low
reset outputs. The under-voltage detector compares VDD
against a xed threshold. Ten factory-programmed thresholds
are available.
The reset outputs are asserted for no less than 140ms at
power-on and any time the input voltage drops below the
reference voltage. It remains asserted for the timeout period
after the input voltage subsequently rises back above the
threshold boundary. A reset can be generated at any time
by asserting the manual reset input, /MR. This reset output
will remain active at least 140ms after the release of /MR.
The /MR input can also be used to daisy-chain the MIC2775
onto existing power monitoring circuitry or other supervisors.
Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering due to noise.
Typical supply current is a low 3.5µA.

Pin Description
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1 /RST Digital (Output): Asserted low whenever VDD falls below the reference volt-
age. It will remain asserted for no less than 140ms after VDD returns above
the threshold limit.
2 GND Ground
3 RST Digital (Output): Asserted high whenever VDD falls below the reference volt-
age. It will remain asserted for no less than 140ms after VDD returns above
the threshold limit.
4 /MR Digital (Input): Driving this pin low initiates an immediate and unconditional
reset. Assuming VDD is above the threshold when /MR is released (returns
high), the reset output will be de-asserted no less than 140ms later. /MR
may be driven by a logic signal or a mechanical switch. /MR has an internal
pull-up to VDD and may be left open if unused.
5 VDD Analog (Input): Power supply input and the voltage being monitored.

Functional Description
VDD Input
The VDD pin is both the power supply terminal and a monitored
input voltage. The voltage at this pin is continually compared
against the internal reference. The trip-point at which a reset
occurs is factory programmed. A reset is triggered if and
when VDD falls below the trip-point. Hysteresis is employed
to prevent chattering due to noise. The comparator on the
VDD input is relatively immune to very brief negative-going
transients.
RST, /RST Reset Outputs
Typically, the MIC2775 is used to monitor the power supply
of intelligent circuits such as microcontrollers and micropro-
cessors. By connecting the appropriate reset output of a
MIC2775 to the reset input of a µC or µP, the processor will
be properly reset at power-on and during power-down and
brown-out conditions. In addition, asserting /MR, the manual
reset input, will activate the reset function.
The reset outputs are asserted any time /MR is asserted or
if VDD drops below the threshold voltage. The reset outputs
remain asserted for tRST(min) after VDD subsequently returns
above the threshold boundary and/or /MR is released. A reset
pulse is also generated at power-on. Hysteresis is included
in the comparator to prevent chattering of the outputs due
to noise.
/MR, Manual Reset Input
The ability to initiate a reset via external logic or a manual
switch is provided in addition to the MIC2775’s automatic su-
pervisory functions. Driving the /MR input to a logic low causes
an immediate and unconditional reset to occur. Assuming
VDD is within tolerance when /MR is released (returns high),
the reset outputs will be de-asserted no less than tRST later.
/MR may be driven by a logic signal or mechanical switch.
Typically, a momentary push-button switch is connected
such that /MR is shorted to ground when the switch contacts
close. The switch may be connected directly between /MR
and GND. /MR has an internal 100nA pull-up current to VDD
and may be left open if unused.

Application Information
Ensuring Proper Operation at Low Supply
At levels of VDD below 1.2V, the MIC2775’s /RST output can-
not turn on sufciently to produce a valid logic-low on /RST.
In this situation, circuits driven by /RST could be allowed to
oat, causing undesired operation. (In most cases, however,
it is expected that the circuits driven by the MIC2775 will be
similarly inoperative at VDD ≤ 1.2V.)
If a given application requires that /RST be valid below VDD
= 1.2V, this can be accomplished by adding a pull-down re-
sistor to the /RST output. A value of 100kΩ is recommended
as this is usually an acceptable compromise of quiescent
current and pull-down current. The resistor’s value is not
critical, however. See Figure 1.

The statements above also apply to the MIC2775’s RST
output. That is, to ensure valid RST signal levels at VDD <
1.2V, a pull-up resistor (as opposed to a pull-down) should
be added to the RST output. A value of 100kΩ is typical for
this application as well. See Figure 2.

Transient response
The MIC2775 is inherently immune to very short negative-
going “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the voltage
threshold without tripping the output.
As shown in Figure 3, in general the narrower the transient,
the deeper the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by
the MIC2775. The graph represents the typical allowable
transient duration for a given amount of threshold overdrive
that will not generate a reset.
