General Description
The MIC705, MIC706, MIC707, and MIC708 are inexpensive
mircoprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors power supplies in
microprocessor based systems. The circuit functions include a
watchdog timer, microprocessor reset, backup battery switchover,
power failure warning and a debounced manual reset input.
The MIC705 and MIC706 offer a watchdog timer function while the
MIC707 and MIC708 have an active high reset output in addition to
the active low reset output.
Supply voltage monitor levels of 4.65V and 4.4V are available. The
MIC705 and MIC707 have a nominal reset threshold level of 4.65V
while the MIC706 and MIC708 have a 4.4V nominal threshold level.
When the supply voltage drops below the respective reset threshold
level, /RESET is asserted.
