ADM824

The ADM823/ADM824/ADM825 are supervisory circuits which monitor power supply voltage levels and code execution integrity in microprocessor-based systems. As well as providing power on reset signals, an on-chip watchdog timer can reset the microprocessor if it fails to strobe within a preset timeout period. A reset signal can also be asserted by means of an external push-button, through a manual reset input. The three parts feature different combinations of watchdog input, manual reset input and output stage configuration, as shown in Table 1.

Each part is available in a choice of seven reset threshold options ranging from 2.19 V to 4.63 V. The reset and watchdog timeout periods are fixed at 140 ms (min) and 1.6s (typ), respectively.

The ADM823/ADM824/ADM825 are available in 5-lead SC70 and SOT-23 packages and typically consume only 3 A, making them suitable for use in low power portable applications.
