µP Supervisory Circuit
General Description
The MIC705, MIC706, MIC707, and MIC708 are inexpensive
mircoprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors power sup-
plies in microprocessor based systems. The circuit functions
include a watchdog timer, microprocessor reset, backup
battery switchover, power failure warning and a debounced
manual reset input.
The MIC705 and MIC706 offer a watchdog timer function
while the MIC707 and MIC708 have an active high reset
output in addition to the active low reset output.
Supply voltage monitor levels of 4.65V and 4.4V are available.
The MIC705 and MIC707 have a nominal reset threshold level
of 4.65V while the MIC706 and MIC708 have a 4.4V nominal
threshold level. When the supply voltage drops below the
respective reset threshold level, /RESET is asserted.

1 1 /MR Manual Reset Input forces /RESET to assert when pulled below 0.8V. An
internal pull-up current of 250µA on this input forces it high when left floating.
this input can also be driven from TTL or CMOS logic.

3 3 GND IC ground pin, 0V reference
4 4 PFI Power Fail Input. Internally connected to the power fail comparator which
is referenced to 1.25V. The Power Fail Output (/PFO) remains high if PFI
is above 1.25V. PFI should be connected to GND or VOUT if the power fail
comparator is not used.
5 5 /PFO Power Fail Output. The power fail comparator is independent of all other
function on this device.
6 N/A WDI Watch Dog Input. The WDI input monitors microprcessor activity, an internal
watchdog timer resets itself with each transition on the watchdog input. If the
WDIpin is held high or low for longer than the watchog timeout period, /WDO
is forced to active low. the watchdog function can be diabled by floating the
WDI pin.
N/A 6 N/C Not Internally Connected
7 7 /RESET /RESET is asserted if either VCCgoes below the reset threshold voltage or
by low signal on the manual reset input (/MR). /RESET remains asserted for
one reset timeout period (200ms) after VCC exceeds the reset threshold volt-
age or after the manual reset pin transition from low to high. The watchdog
timer will not assert /RESET unless /WDO is connected to /MR
8 N/A /WDO Output for the Watchdog Timer. The watchdog timer resets itself with each
transition o the watchdog input. If the WDI pin is held high or low for longer
than the watchdog timeout period, /WDO is forced low. /WDO will also be
forced low id VCC is below the reset threshold voltageand will remain low
until VCC returns to a valid level.
N/A 8 RESET RESET is the compliment of /RESET and is asserted if either VCC goes be-
low the reset threshold voltage or by a low signal on the manual reset input
(/MR). RESET is suitable for microprocessor systems that use active high
reset.

Applications Information
Power Fail Warning
An additional comparator which is independent of the other
functions on the MIC706P/R/S/T is provided for early warning
of power failure. An external voltage divider can be used to
compare unregulated DC to an internal 1.25V reference. The
voltage divider ratio on the input of the power-fail comparator
(PFI) can be chosen so as to trip the power fail comparator a
few milliseconds before VCC falls below the maximum reset
threshold voltage. The output of the power-fail comparator
(/PFO) can be used to interrupt the microprocessor when
used in this mode and execute shut-down procedures prior
to power loss. Hysteresis can be added to this comparator
with external resistors, as is commonly done with any com-
parator. When VCC < VBATT - 1.2V (typ.), the power-fail
comparator is turned off and /PFO is pulled low in order to
conserve power.

Watchdog Timer
The microprocessor can be monitored by connecting the
WDI pin (watchdog input) to a bus line or an I/O line. If a
transition doesn't occur on the WDI pin with in the watchdog
timeout (Table 1.), the microprocessor is reset. /RESET will
remain asserted for 200ms when this occurs. A minimum
pulse of 100ns or any transition low-to-high or high-to-low
on the WDI pin will reset the watchdog timer. The output of
the watchdog timer (WDO) will remain high, if WDI sees a
valid transition within the watchdog period or if VCC falls
below the reset threshold as the watchdog timer is disabled
when this happens.
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever VCC falls below the
reset threshold voltage. The reset pin remains asserted for a
period of 200ms after VCC has risen above the reset thresh-
old voltage. The reset timeout period can also be selected
by the end user, see Table 1. The reset function ensures the
microprocessor is properly reset and powers up into a known
condition after a power failure. /RESET will remain valid with
VCC as low as 1.4V and when auxiliary power is connected
to VBATT (VBATT > 2.0V), the reset pin will remain valid with
VCC from 0V to 5.5V.
