ASM706 P/ R/ S/ T/ J
ASM708 R/ S/ T/ J
General Description
The ASM706P/R/S/T/J and ASM708R/S/T/J are cost effective
CMOS supervisor circuits that monitor power-supply and
battery voltage level, and µP/µC operation.
The family offers several functional options. Each device
generates a reset signal during power-up, power-down and
during brownout conditions. A reset is generated when the
supply drops below 2.63V (ASM706P/R, ASM708R), 2.93V
(ASM706S, ASM708S), 3.08V (ASM706T, ASM708T) or 4.00
(ASM706J, ASM708J). In addition, the ASM706P/R/S/T/J
feature a 1.6 second watchdog timer. The watchdog timer
output will trigger a reset if connected to MR. Floating the WDI
input pin disables the watchdog timer.
The ASM708R/S/T/J have both active-HIGH and active-LOW
reset outputs but no watchdog function. The ASM706P has the
same pin-out and functions as the ASM706R but has an active-
HIGH reset output.
A versatile power-fail circuit, useful in checking battery levels
and non-5V supplies, has a 1.25V threshold. All devices have a
manual reset input. All devices are available in 8-pin DIP, SO
and the compact MicroSO packages. The MicroSO package
requires 50% less PC board area than the conventional SO
package.

Manual reset input. The active LOW input triggers

Watchdog input. WDI controls the internal watch-
dog timer. A HIGH or LOW signal for 1.6sec at
WDI allows the internal timer to run-out, setting
WDO low. A rising or falling edge must occur at
WDI within 1.6 seconds or WDO goes LOW. The
watchdog function is disabled by floating WDI. The
internal watchdog timer clears when: RESET is
asserted; WDI is three-stated ; or WDI sees a ris-
ing or falling edge.

for 200ms after VCC rises above the reset thresh-

Detailed Descriptions
A proper reset input enables a microprocessor/
microcontroller to start in a known state. ASM706 P/ R/ S/ T/
J and ASM708 R/ S/ T/ J assert reset to prevent code
execution errors during power-up, power-down and brown-
out conditions.
RESET/RESET Operation
The RESET/RESET signals are designed to start or return a
µP/µC to a known state.
With VCC above 1.2V, RESET and RESET are guaranteed to
be asserted. During a power-up sequence, the reset outputs
remain asserted until the supply rises above the threshold
level. The resets are deasserted approximately 200ms after
crossing the threshold.
In a brownout situation where VCC falls below the threshold
level, the reset outputs are asserted. If a brownout occurs
during an already initiated reset period, the reset period will
extend for an additional reset period of 200ms.
The ASM708 devices have dual reset outputs, one active
LOW and one active HIGH. The ASM706P has a single
active HIGH reset and the ASM706/R/S/T/J devices have an
active LOW reset output.
Manual Reset (MR)
The active-LOW manual reset input is pulled high by an
internal 20k pull-up resistor and can be driven low by
CMOS/TTL logic or a mechanical switch to ground. An
external debounce circuit is
unnecessary since the 140ms minimum reset time will
debounce mechanical pushbutton switches. The minimum
MR input pulse width is 0.5µs with a 3V VCC input and 0.15µs
with a 5V VCC input. If not used, tie MR to VCC or leave
floating.
By connecting the watchdog output (WDO) and MR, a
watchdog timeout forces a RESET to be generated.
Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer available on the ASM706P/R/S/T/J
monitors µP/µC activity. An output line on the processor is
used to toggle the WDI line. If the line is not toggled within 1.6
seconds on the Watchdog Input (WDI), the internal timer puts
the Watchdog Output (WDO) into a LOW state. WDO will
remain LOW until a toggle is detected at WDI.
The watchdog function is disabled, meaning it is cleared and
not counting, if WDI is floated or connected to a three-stated
circuit. The watchdog timer is also disabled if RESET is
asserted. When RESET becomes inactive and the WDI input
sees a high or low transition as short as 100ns (VCC = 2.7V)/

50ns (VCC = 4.5V), the watchdog timer will begin a 1.6
second countdown. Additional transitions at WDI will reset
the watchdog timer and initiate a new countdown sequence.
WDO will also become LOW and remain so, whenever the
supply voltage, VCC, falls below the device threshold level.
WDO goes HIGH as soon as VCC transitions above the
threshold. There is no minimum pulse width for WDO as
there is for the RESET outputs. If WDI is floated, WDO
essentially acts as a low supply voltage output indicator.
Power-failure Detection With Auxiliary Comparator
All devices have an auxiliary comparator with 1.25V trip point.
The output, PFO, is active LOW and the noninverting input is
PFI. This comparator can be used as a supply voltage
monitor with an external resistor voltage divider. As the
monitored voltage level falls, PFI is reduced causing the PFO
output to go LOW. Normally PFO interrupts the processor so
the system can be shut down in a controlled manner.
Application Information
Bi-directional Reset Pin Interfacing
The ASM706/8 can interface with µP/µC bi-directional reset
pins by connecting a 4.7k resistor in series with the RESET
output and the µP/µC bi-directional reset pin.
Ensuring the RESET is Valid Down to VCC = 0V
When VCC falls below 1.2V, the ASM706R/S/T/J and 708R/S/
T/J RESET reset outputs no longer pull down; it becomes
indeterminate. To avoid the possibility that stray charges
could build up and force RESET to the wrong state, a pull-
down resistor should be connected to the RESET pin, thus
draining such charges to ground. The resistor value is not
critical. A100k resistor will pull RESET to ground without
loading it.

Note: These are stress ratings only and functional operation is noy implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for pro-
longed time periods may affect device reliability.
The ASM706/708 can monitor voltages other than VCC using
the Power Fail circuitry. If a resistive divider is connected from
the voltage to be monitored to the PFI input, the PFO will go
LOW if the voltage at PFI goes below 1.25V reference. Should
hysteresis be desired, connect a resistor (equal to
approximately 10 times the sum of the two resistors in the
divider) between the PFI and PFO pins. A capacitor between
PFI and GND will reduce circuit sensitivity to input high
frequency noise. If it is desired to assert a reset in addition to
the PFO flag, this may be achieved by connecting the PFO
output to MR.
