AS1910 - AS1915
Dual-Voltage Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits
with Reset and Watchdog
Product Brief
1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1910 - AS1915 microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits were designed to generate a reset when one of the
two monitored supply voltages falls below a factory-
trimmed threshold, and to maintain the reset for a mini-
mum timeout period when both supplies are above their
reset thresholds. Guaranteed to be in the correct state
for VCC higher than +1.0V, these devices are ideal for
multiple-voltage systems with strict monitoring require-
ments.
The AS1913/AS1914/AS1915 feature factory-trimmed
thresholds to monitor a primary voltage between 1.8 and
3.6V, and a secondary voltage between 0.9 and 2.5V.
For the AS1910/AS1911/AS1912, a secondary monitor-
ing voltage can be user-adjusted via an external resistor
divider down to 0.6V.
The devices are available with the reset output types
listed in Table 1.

The AS1910 - AS1915 include a manual-reset input for
systems that never fully power down the microproces-
sor. Additionally, these devices feature a watchdog timer
to help ensure that the processor is operating within
proper code boundaries.
The AS1910 - AS1915 are available in a 6-pin SOT23
package.
