Low Power, 3.3V/3.0V P Reset Active LOW, Push-Pull Output
February 2005
General Description
The ASM1815 is a voltage supervisory device with low-power,
3.3V/3.0V P Reset, active LOW, Push-Pull output. Maximum
supply current over temperature is a low 15A (at 3.6V).
The ASM1815 generates an active LOW reset signal whenever
the monitored supply is out of tolerance. A precision reference
and comparator circuit monitor power supply (V
CC
)
level.
Tolerance level options are 5%, 10% and 20%. When an out-of-
tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail signal is
generated which forces an active LOW reset signal. After V
CC
returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal remains
active for 150ms to allow the power supply and system
microprocessor to stabilize.
The ASM1815 is designed with a push-pull output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in TO-92 and compact surface mount
SOT-23 packages.
Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/
11/12/16/17, ASM1233D and ASM1233M.

Application Information
Operation - Power Monitor
The ASM1815 detects out-of-tolerance power supply
conditions. It resets a processor during power-up, power-
down and issues a reset to the system processor when the
monitored power supply voltage is below the reset threshold.
When an out-of-tolerance V
CC
voltage is detected, the
RESET signal is asserted. On power-up, RESET is kept
active (LOW) for approximatley 150ms after the power supply
voltage has reached the selected tolerance. This allows the
power supply and microprocessor to stablize before RESET
is released.
Output Conditions
The ASM1815 active LOW reset signal is valid as long as
V
CC
remains below 1.2V. The RESET output on the
ASM1815 uses a push-pull drive stage that can maintain a
valid output below 1.2V. To sink current with V
CC
below 1.2V,
a resistor can be connected from the reset pin (RESET) to
Ground (see Figure 3). This configuration will give a valid
value on the RESET output with V
CC
approaching 0V. During
both power up and down, this configuration will draw current
when the RESET is in the high state. A value of 100k
should be adequate to maintain a valid connection.
