APPLICATION INFORMATION

3.1

Microprocessor Reset

falls below the reset threshold voltage. The /RESET pin

risen above the reset threshold voltage. The reset

function ensures that the microprocessor is properly

reset and powers up in a known condition after a power

3.2

VCC Transients

The

MIC811/812

are

relatively

immune

to

Typically, a negative-going transient 125 mV below the

reset threshold with a duration of 20 μs or less will not

cause a reset.

3.3

Interfacing to Bidirectional Reset

Pins

The MIC811/812 can interface with microprocessors

with bidirectional reset pins by connecting a 4.7 kΩ

resistor in series with the MIC811/812 output and the

microprocessor reset pin.

3.4

/RESET Valid at Low Voltage

A resistor can be added from the /RESET pin to ground

down to 0V. A 100 kΩ resistor connected from the

/RESET to ground is recommended. The value of the

resistor should be large enough not to load the output

excessively and small enough to pull-down any stray

leakage currents.
