System supervisors and voltage detectors monitor system voltages to eliminate problems during operation. On power-down, the supervisor monitors the power supply voltage and resets the system if the voltage falls below a predetermined level. On power-up, the supervisor holds the system in reset until the voltage has stabilized.
Voltage Supervisors
- Monitors systems without a MCU, for example FPGAs, PLDs and power supplies
- Can reset all or part of a system
- Localized shutdown makes system faster and less susceptible to noise
- Meets system safety regulations requiring external fail safe
- More customizable and accurate voltage trip points and reset output delay
- Supervisor options with manual resets and watchdog timers simplify firmware, add reliability and are very easy to implement
Key Features
- Watchdog Timer
- Signal required from within MCU (WDI) tWD or RST driven low
- Designed to detect faulty program execution
- Voltage Trip Point
- Standard trip voltages available on all devices
- Custom trip voltages available on some devices
- Reset Delay
- Different available options for a reset delay
- Some devices have custom options available
- WDT Period
- Devices with watchdog timers have different tWD (period)
- Low Power (Typ < 1uA)
- Typically used in battery applications
- Power sensitive with same reliability of a supervisor
- Output Type
- Push-pull or open-drain
- Active low or high
- Internal or external pull-up resistor (open-drain only)
