DESCRIPTION
The DS1236A MicroManager Chip provides all the necessary functions for power supply monitoring,
reset control, and memory backup in microprocessor-based systems. A precise internal voltage reference
and comparator circuit monitor power supply status. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the
microprocessor reset and power-fail outputs are forced active, and static RAM control unconditionally
write protects external memory. The DS1236A also provides early warning detection of a user-defined
threshold by driving a non-maskable interrupt. External reset control is provided by a pushbutton reset
