General Description

The ASM1816 is a voltage supervisory device with low-power,

3.3V/3V µP Reset, active LOW, open-drain output. Maximum

supply current over temperature is a low 15µA (at 3.6V).

The ASM1816 generates an active LOW reset signal whenever

the monitored supply is out of tolerance. A precision reference

Tolerance level options are 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. When an

out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail

signal is generated which forces an active LOW reset signal.

remains active for 150ms to allow the power supply and system

microprocessor to stabilize.

The ASM1816 is designed with a open-drain output stage and

operates over the extended industrial temperature range.

Devices are available in TO-92 and compact surface mount

SOT-23 packages.

Other low power products in this family include the ASM1810/

11/12/15/17, ASM1233D and ASM1233M.
