3 Description

The LM809 and LM810 microprocessors supervisory

circuits can be used to monitor the power supplies in

microprocessor and digital systems. They provide a

reset to the microprocessor during power-up, powerdown

and brown-out conditions.

The function of the LM809 and LM810 are to monitor

the VCC supply voltage, and assert a reset signal

whenever this voltage declines below the factoryprogrammed

reset threshold. The reset signal

remains asserted for 240 ms after VCC rises above

the threshold. The LM809 has an active-low RESET

output, while the LM810 has an active-high RESET

output.

Seven standard reset voltage options are available,

suitable for monitoring 5-V, 3.3-V, and 3-V supply

voltages.

With a low supply current of only 15 μA, the LM809

and LM810 are ideal for use in portable equipment.
