ASM6381 - ASM6390
Single/Dual Low Voltage, Low Power Microcontroller Power Supply Supervisor
General Description
The ASM6381 - ASM6390 are cost effective +1.8V to +5V
power supply supervisor circuits optimized for low-power
microprocessor (µP), microcontroller (µC) and digital systems.
They provide a reset output during power-up, power-down and
brown-out conditions. They provide excellent reliability by
eliminating external components and adjustments.
A reset signal is issued if the power supply voltage drops below
a preset reset threshold and is asserted for a minimum reset
timeout period after the supply has risen above the reset
threshold. The reset timeout periods are available from 1ms to
1200ms. The ASM6381, ASM6384 and ASM6387 have a push-
pull active-low reset output. The ASM6382, ASM6385 and
ASM6388 have a push-pull active-high reset output, and the
ASM6383, ASM6386, ASM6389 and ASM6390 have an open-
drain active-low reset output. The ASM6384, ASM6385 and
ASM6386 also feature a manual reset input.
The ASM6387, ASM6388, ASM6389 have an auxiliary input
RESET IN for monitoring a second voltage. The ASM6390
offers a manual reset input with a longer V
CC
reset timeout
period and a shorter manual reset timeout.
The reset output state is guaranteed to be in the correct logic
state for V
CC
down to 1V. The reset comparator is designed to
ignore fast transients on V
CC
.

Manual Reset (MR) Input
A logic low on MR asserts reset. MR is internally pulled high
through a 63kΩ resistor (for ASM6381-ASM6389, 1.35KΩ for
ASM6390) and can be driven by TTL/CMOS gates or with
open collector/drain outputs. MR can be left open if not used.
MR may be connected to ground through a normally-open
momentary switch without an external debounce circuit.

A 0.1µF capacitor from MR to ground can be added for
additional noise immunity.
Reset Output Operation
In µP / µC systems it is important to have the processor and
the system begin operation from a known state. A reset
output to a processor is provided to prevent improper
operations during power supply sequencing or low voltage
brown-out conditions.
The ASM6381-ASM6390 are designed to monitor the system
power supply voltages and issue a reset signal when the
levels are out of range. RESET outputs are guaranteed to be
active for V
CC
above 1.0V. When V
CC
exceeds the reset
threshold, an internal timer keeps RESET active for the reset
timeout period, after which RESET becomes inactive. If V
CC
drops below the reset threshold, RESET automatically
becomes active. Alternatively, external circuitry or an
operator

MR can be driven by TTL/CMOS logic or even an external

RESET IN Comparator
Reset asserts when either V
CC
or RESET IN falls below its
respective threshold. RESET IN is compared to an internal
+1.27V reference. If the voltage at RESET IN is less than
To ensure logic inputs connected to the ASM6381 - ASM6390

is under 1.0V, a 100kΩ pull-
down resistor at RESET is needed. The value is not critical. A

is needed with the RESET pin.
