Data Sheet
1 General Description
2 Key Features
The AS1916 - AS1918 microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits were designed to generate a reset when the moni-
tored supply voltage falls below a factory-trimmed
threshold. The reset remains asserted for a minimum
timeout period after the supply voltage stabilizes.
Guaranteed to be in the correct state for VCC higher than
+1.0V, these devices are ideal for portable and battery-
powered systems with strict monitoring requirements.
The devices feature factory-trimmed thresholds to moni-
tor a supply voltage between 1.8 and 3.6V.
The devices are available with the reset output types
listed in Table 1.

! VCC Supervisory Range: +1.8 to +3.6V
! Guaranteed Reset Valid Down to VCC = +1.0V
! Reset Timeout Delay: 215ms
! Manual Reset Input
! Three Reset Output Types
- Active-Low Push/Pull (AS1916)
- Active-High Push/Pull (AS1917)
- Active-Low Open-Drain (AS1918)
! Watchdog Timeout Period: 1.5s
! Immune to Fast Negative VCC Transients
! External Components Not Required
The AS1916 - AS1918 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 AS1916 - AS1918 are available in a 5-pin SOT23
package.
