µP Supervisory Circuit

General Description

The MIC705, MIC706, MIC707, and MIC708 are inexpensive

mircoprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors power sup-

plies in microprocessor based systems. The circuit functions

include a watchdog timer, microprocessor reset, backup

battery switchover, power failure warning and a debounced

manual reset input.

The MIC705 and MIC706 offer a watchdog timer function

while the MIC707 and MIC708 have an active high reset

output in addition to the active low reset output.

Supplyvoltagemonitorlevelsof4.65Vand4.4Vareavailable.

TheMIC705andMIC707haveanominalresetthresholdlevel

of 4.65V while the MIC706 and MIC708 have a 4.4V nominal

threshold level. When the supply voltage drops below the

respective reset threshold level, /RESET is asserted.
