Low-cost surface mount packages: 8-pin/16-pin SO, 8-pin
DIP and 8-pin Micro SO packages
General Description
The ASM1232LP/LPS is a fully integrated microprocessor
supervisor. It can halt and restart a “hung-up” microprocessor,
restart a microprocessor after a power failure. It has a
watchdog timer and external reset override.

selectable tolerance limits, both RESET and RESET become
active. When VCC rises above the threshold voltage, the reset
signals remain active for an additional 250ms minimum,
allowing the power supply and system microprocessor to
stabilize. The trip point tolerance signal, TOL, selects the trip
level tolerance to be either 5% or 10%.
Typical Operating Circuit
+5V
Each device has both a push-pull, active HIGH reset output
and an open drain active LOW reset output. A debounced
manual reset input, PBRST, activates the reset outputs for a
minimum period of 250ms.

There is a watchdog timer to stop and restart a microprocessor
that is “hung-up”. The watchdog timeouts periods are
selectable: 150ms, 610ms and 1200ms. If the ST input is not
strobed LOW before the time-out period expires, a reset is
generated.
