MIC1232
µP Supervisory Circuit
Description
The MIC1232 is a multifunction circuit which monitors
microprocessor activity, external reset and power
supplies in microprocessor based systems. The circuit
functions include a watchdog timer, power supply
monitor, microprocessor reset, and manual pushbutton
reset input.
The power supply line is monitored with a comparator
and an internal voltage reference. RST is forced low
when an out-of-tolerance condition exists and remains
asserted for at least 250ms after VCC rises above the
threshold voltage (4.5V or 4.75V). The RST pin will
remain logic low with VCC as low as 1.4V.
The Watchdog input (ST) monitors µP activity and will
assert RST if no µP activity has occurred within the
watchdog timeout period. The watchdog timeout period
is selectable with nominal periods of 150, 600, or 1200
milliseconds.
