Low Voltage VCC (V1 Monitoring)
During operation, the X40430, X40431, X40434,
X40435 monitors the VCC level and asserts
RESET/RESET if supply voltage falls below a preset
minimum VTRIP1. The RESET/RESET signal prevents
the microprocessor from operating in a power fail or
brownout condition. The RESET/RESET signal
remains active until the voltage drops below 1V. It also
remains active until VCC returns and exceeds VTRIP1
for tPURST.
Low Voltage V2 Monitoring
The X40430 also monitors a second voltage level and
asserts V2FAIL if the voltage falls below a preset mini-
mum VTRIP2. The V2FAIL signal is either ORed with
RESET to prevent the microprocessor from operating
in a power fail or brownout condition or used to inter-
rupt the microprocessor with notification of an impend-
ing power failure.
For the X40430 and X40431 the V2FAIL signal
remains active until the V2MON drops below 1V
(V2MON falling). It also remains active until V2MON
returns and exceeds VTRIP2. This voltage sense cir-
cuitry monitors the power supply connected to V2MON
pin. If VCC = 0, V2MON can still be monitored.
For the X40434 and X40435, the V2FAIL signal
remains active until VCC drops below 1V and remains
active until V2MON returns and exceeds VTRIP2. This
sense circuitry is powered by VCC. If VCC = 0, V2MON
cannot be monitored.
Low Voltage V3 Monitoring
The X40430, X40431, X40434, X40435 also monitors
a third voltage level and asserts V3FAIL if the voltage
falls below a preset minimum VTRIP3. The V3FAIL sig-
nal is either ORed with RESET to prevent the micro-
processor from operating in a power fail or brownout
condition or used to interrupt the microprocessor with
notification of an impending power failure. The V3FAIL
signal remains active until the V3MON drops below 1V
(V3MON falling). It also remains active until V3MON
returns and exceeds VTRIP3.
This voltage sense circuitry monitors the power supply
connected to V3MON pin. If VCC = 0, V3MON can still
be monitored.
Early Low VCC Detection (LOWLINE)
This CMOS output goes LOW earlier than
RESET/RESET whenever VCC falls below the VTRIP1
voltage and returns high when VCC exceeds the
VTRIP1 voltage. There is no power-up delay circuitry
(tPURST) on this pin.
