Low Power 5V / 3.3V µP Reset Active LOW, Open - Drain Output
General Description
The ASM8500 is a voltage supervisory device with a low-power,
5V/3.3V µP Reset, active LOW, open-drain output. Maximum
supply current over temperature is a low 6µA.

• Single board computers
Typical Operating Circuit
The ASM8500 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. Reset
threshold tolerance level is ±1.5%. 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
1.5ms to allow the power supply and system microprocessor to
stabilize.
The ASM8500 is designed with a open-drain output stage and
operates over the extended industrial temperature range.
Devices are available in compact surface mount SOT-89
packages.
Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/
11/12/15/16/17, ASM1233D and ASM1233M.
