ASM1832
rev 1.5
3.3V µP Power Supply Monitor and Reset Circuit
Devices are available in 8-pin PDIP, 8-pin SO and compact 8-
pin MicroSO packages.
General Description
The ASM1832 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. RESET and RESET outputs are
push-pull.
Key Features

3.3V supply monitor
Push-pull output
Selectable watchdog period
Debounce manual push-button reset input
Precision temperature-compensated voltage reference
and comparator.
A
precision temperature-compensated reference and
comparator circuits monitor the 3.3V, VCC input voltage status.

Active LOW and HIGH reset signal
Selectable trip point tolerance: 10% or 20%
Low-cost 8-pin DIP/SO and 8-pin Micro SO packages
Wide operating temperature -40°C to +85°C
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 10% or 20%.
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.
