ZXCM210

The ZXCM209/210 are three terminal supervisory circuits used to monitor the power supplies in microprocessor and digital systems. They provide a high performance economical solution when used with 5V, 3V or lower powered circuits. Reset thresholds suitable for operation with a variety of supply voltages are available.

These devices provide a reset signal whenever the supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for a minimum delay period of 140ms after the supply has risen above the reset level. The ZXCM209 has an active-low RESET output (which is guaranteed to be in the correct state for supplies down to 1V), while the ZXCM210 has an active-high RESET output.

The reset comparator has in built hysteresis to prevent erratic operation and is designed to ignore supply transients. Low supply current (typically 2A) makes the ZXCM209/210 devices ideal for use in portable equipment. They are available in a 3-pin SOT23 surface mount package with an industry standard pinout.
