Functional Description
General
During start-up, the reset pin on a microprocessor
ensures that it is fully reset and starts up in a known
condition. The AAT3526/7/8 series of microproces-
sor reset devices monitor the supply voltage to a
microprocessor and assert a reset signal whenever
the V_CC voltage falls below a factory-programmed
threshold. This threshold is accurate within ±1.5%
at 25ºC and within ±2.5% over the entire operating
temperature range. The reset signal remains
asserted for a minimum of 150ms after V_CC has
risen above the threshold, as shown in Figure 1.
