ZXCM210
DESCRIPTION
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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Negative going V
CC
transients
The ZXCM209/210 are, to a good degree, immune to
short duration negative going supply transients. Under
certain circumstances very brief transients are allowed
without inappropriate false triggering of the reset
circuit. The response to supply transients is shown in the
Noise Immunity graph in the typical characteristics. The
graph indicates the typical allowable transient duration
for a specified threshold overdrive such that a reset
pulse is not generated. Addition of a bypass capacitor,
e.g. 0.1F, as close as possible to the V
CC
pin will provide
extra transient immunity.
Reset valid down to very low supply voltages
With V
CC
between 0V and 1V the output of the
ZXCM209/210 may be in an undefined state. In many
s y s t e m s
t h i s
i s
i n c o n s e q u e n t i a l
a s
t h e
microprocessor, and other circuits, will be inoperative
with supplies this low. In applications where this is
important, the addition of an external resistor ensures
that the reset output remains valid for V
CC
< 1V. The
resistor value is non critical: a value of 100k
is
recommended. For the ZXCM209 the resistor should
be applied between reset output and ground: for the
ZXCM210 between reset output and V
CC
. Figure 1
shows the connection diagram for the ZXCM devices
in these configurations.
