Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit from Diodes Incorporated Monitors System Voltage with Programmable
Delay
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard
products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, today announced the PT7M3808 family of
microprocessor supervisory circuits. These devices monitor system voltages from 0.4V to 5.0V, and feature threshold accuracy from
0.5% and an adjustable delay time from 1.25ms to 10ms; this allows these small form-factor devices to enable power-on reset
functionality for microprocessor and other digital systems while also consuming minimal power. Applications include notebook and
desktop computers, and battery-powered portable equipment for markets ranging from data centers to security systems.
Offered in fixed-threshold versions for standard voltage rails between 0.9V and 5.0V, and with an adjustable threshold version
down to 0.4V, the PT7M3808 uses a precision reference to provide a 0.5% negative-going input threshold accuracy when monitoring
voltages up to 3.3V and 1% accuracy at voltages from 3.3V to 5.0V. The delay time is adjusted from 1.25ms to 10ms by connecting an
external capacitor to the CT pin; a longer 20ms delay can be achieved by disconnecting the CT pin, while a 300ms delay is possible
by connecting the CT pin to VDD with a resistor.
The PT7M3808 has a very low quiescent current, typically 2.8µA, making it well-suited for battery-powered applications.
Available in SOT26 and DFN2020-6 packages, the PT7M3808 takes up very little board space for both new and drop-in replacement
designs. Further information is available at www.diodes.com.
