CAT808 Datasheet, PDF (3/7 Pages) Catalyst Semiconductor – Low-Power Precision Voltage Detector
OPERATION – VOLTAGE DETECTOR
The CAT808 has an active low output that asserts
(pulls low) when the supply voltage drops below the
detection threshold voltage (VDET). The open-drain
output requires an external pull-up resistor between
the output pin and the supply voltage (as shown in the
typical application diagram). On power-up, ¯O¯U¯T¯ is
held active low until the supply voltage (VDD) rises
above VDET. While VDD is above VDET, ¯O¯U¯T¯ stays high
until VDD drops below VDET, then ¯O¯U¯T¯ once again
goes low.
