General Description

The MIC8115 is an inexpensive microprocessor
supervisory circuit that monitors power supplies in
microprocessor-based systems.
The function of the MIC8115 is to assert a reset if the
power supply drops below a designated reset threshold
level or if /MR is forced low.
The MIC8115 has an active-low /RESET output. The
reset output is guaranteed to remain asserted for a
minimum of 1100 ms after V

CC

 has risen above the

designated reset threshold level. The MIC8115 comes
in a 4-pin SOT-143 package.

/RESET

/RESET goes low if either V

CC

 falls below the supply reset threshold voltage or if /MR 

is asserted. /RESET remains asserted for one reset timeout period 1100 ms 
(minimum) after both V

CC

 exceeds the supply reset threshold voltage and /MR is 

de-asserted.

/MR

Manual Reset Input. A logic-low on /MR forces a reset. The reset will remain asserted 
as long as /MR is held low and for one reset timeout period (1100 ms, minimum) after 
/MR goes high. This input can be shorted to ground via a switch or driven from CMOS 
or TTL logic. Pulled high internally through a 20 kΩ resistor. Float if unused.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

3.1

Microprocessor Reset

The /RESET pin is asserted whenever V

CC

 falls below

the reset threshold voltage. The reset pin remains
asserted for a period of 1100 ms after V

CC

 has risen

above the reset threshold voltage. The reset function
ensures the microprocessor is properly reset and
powers up into a known condition after a power failure.
/RESET will remain valid with V

CC

 as low as 1.4V.

3.2

VCC Transients

The MIC8115 is relatively immune to the
negative-going V

CC

 glitches below the reset threshold.

Typically, a negative-going transient 125 mV belt the
reset threshold with duration of 20 µs or less will not
cause a reset.

3.3

/RESET Valid at Low Voltage

A resistor can be added from the /RESET pin to the
ground to ensure the /RESET output remains low with
V

CC

 down to 0V. A 100 kΩ resistor connected from

/RESET to ground is recommended. The resistor
should be large enough not to load the /RESET output
and small enough to pull-down any stray leakage
currents.
