AX6901/2/3/4
3-Pin Microprocessor Reset Circuits
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TheAX6901/2/3/4 is used for microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits to monitor the
power supplies in µP and digital systems. They provide excellent circuit reliability and low
cost by eliminating external components and adjustments when used with +5V, +3.3V, +3.0V,
+2.5V powered circuits.
These circuits perform a single function: they assert a reset signal whenever the VCC
supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at least 200ms
after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. Reset thresholds suitable for operation with
a variety of supply voltages are available. TheAX6901/2/3/4 has push pull outputs.
TheAX6901/3 has an active low RESET output, while theAX6902/4 has an active high
RESET output. The reset comparator is designed to ignore fast transients on VCC, and the
outputs are guaranteed to be in the correct logic state for VCC down to 1.0V. Low supply
current makes theAX6901/2/3/4 ideal for use in portable equipment. TheAX6901/2/3/4 is
available in a 3-pin SOT23 package.

AX6901/2/3/4
FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
A microprocessor’s (µP’s) reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
AX6901/2/3/4 asserts reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-up, power-down,
or brownout conditions. They assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage
declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at least 200ms after VCC has
risen above the reset threshold. The AX6901/2/3/4 has a push-pull output stage.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Negative-Going VCC Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the µP during power-up, power-down, and brownout
conditions, the AX6901/2/3/4 is relatively immune to short-duration negative-going VCC
transients (glitches).
The AX6901/2/3/4 does not generate a reset pulse. The graph was generated using a
negative going pulse applied to VCC, starting 0.5V above the actual reset threshold and
ending below it by the magnitude indicated (reset comparator overdrive). The graph
indicates the maximum pulse width a negative going VCC transient can have without
causing a reset pulse. As the magnitude of the transient increases (goes farther below the
reset threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width decreases. Typically, a VCC transient
that goes 50mV below the reset threshold A 0.1µF bypass capacitor mounted as close as
possible to the VCC pin provides additional transient immunity.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output Down to VCC = 0
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic low for VCC > 1.0V. Once VCC exceeds the reset
threshold, an internal timer keeps RESET low for the reset timeout period; after this interval,
RESET goes high. If a brownout condition occurs (VCC dips below the reset threshold),
RESET goes low. Any time VCC goes below the reset threshold, the internal timer resets
to zero, and RESET goes low. The internal timer starts after VCC returns above the reset
threshold, and RESET remains low for the reset timeout period.
When VCC falls below 1.0V, theAX6901/3 RESET output no longer sinks current—it
becomes an open circuit. Therefore, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs connected
to RESET can drift to undetermined voltages.
This presents no problem in most applications since most µP and other circuitry is
inoperative with VCC below 1.0V. However, in applications where RESET must be valid
down to 0V, adding a pull down resistor to RESET causes any stray leakage currents to flow
to ground, holding RESET low. R1’s value is not critical; 100k is large enough not to load
RESET and small enough to pull RESET to ground. For theAX6902/4 if RESET is
required to remain valid for VCC < 1.0V.

Benefits of Highly Accurate Reset Threshold
Most µP supervisor ICs has reset threshold voltages between 5% and 10% below the
value of nominal sup-ply voltages. This ensures a reset will not occur within 5% of the
nominal supply, but will occur when the supply is 10% below nominal. When using ICs rated
at only the nominal supply ±5%, this leaves a zone of uncertainty where the supply is
between 5% and 10% low, and where the reset may or may not be asserted.
