3 Description
The TLV809 family of supervisory circuits provides
circuit initialization and timing supervision, primarily
for digital signal processors (DSPs) and processorbased
systems. The newer TLV809E device is a pinto-
pin compatible alternative.
During power-on, RESET is asserted when the supply
voltage (VDD) becomes greater than 1.1 V. Thereafter,
the supervisory circuit monitors VDD and keeps
RESET active as long as VDD remains below the
threshold voltage, VIT. An internal timer delays the
return of the output to the inactive state (high) to
ensure proper system reset. The delay time (td(typ) =
200 ms) starts after VDD rises above the threshold
voltage, VIT. When the supply voltage drops below the
VIT threshold voltage, the output becomes active (low)
again. No external components are required. All
devices in this family have a fixed sense-threshold
voltage (VIT) set by an internal voltage divider.
This product family is designed for supply voltages of
2.5 V, 3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. The circuits are available in
a 3-pin SOT-23 package. The TLV809 devices are
characterized for operation over a temperature range
of –40°C to +85°C.
