DESCRIPTION
The DS1233 EconoReset monitors two vital conditions for a microprocessor: power supply and external
override. A precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit are used to monitor the
status of the power supply (V
CC
). When an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail
signal is generated which forces reset to the active state. When V
CC
returns to an in-tolerance condition,
the reset signal is kept in the active state for approximately 350ms to allow the power supply and
processor to stabilize. The second function of the DS1233 is pushbutton reset control. The DS1233
debounces a pushbutton closure and will generate a 350ms reset pulse upon release.
OPERATION — POWER MONITOR
The DS1233 provides the functions of detecting out-of-tolerance power supply conditions and warning a
processor-based system of impending power failure. When V
CC
is detected as out-of-tolerance, as
defined by the tolerance of the part selected, the
RST signal is asserted. On power-up, RST is kept active
for approximately 350ms after the power supply has reached the selected tolerance. This allows the power
supply and microprocessor to stabilize before RST is released.
