GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF1252-Xs are low-power CMOS voltage threshold
detectors designed especially for supervision of
microcontroller/microprocessor systems for detection of
power-on/off conditions and generation of a system reset
pulse. The PCF1252-X also provides a POWF (power fail)
output which is activated at a precise factory-programmed
trip point. A system RESET output has a built-in delay with
duration determined by an external capacitor (C
CT
).
A second comparator (comparator 2) has been included to
enable the possibility of a second monitoring point in the
system.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(see Fig.1)
The PCF1252-X contains:
•
A precise factory-programmed voltage reference
•
Two comparators
•
A delay circuit.
The PCF1252-X family is comprised of 10 versions with
different factory-programmed voltage trip-points (V
TRIP
),
see Chapter “Characteristics”.
Supply
The supply voltage (V
DD
) is internally divided before being
compared, via comparator 1, with the internal reference
voltage.
POWF
(see Fig.3)
The POWF output is:
•
LOW, if V
DD
is below V
TRIP
•
HIGH, if V
DD
is above V
TRIP
.
Power-on reset (SELECT = LOW)
As V
DD
rises past V
TRIP
, a positive reset pulse is generated
at RESET. The duration of the reset pulse (t
R
) is
determined by the value of the external capacitor (C
CT
;
maximum 1
µF,
see Fig.8) connected to CT. With no
external capacitor connected, C
CT
assumes a minimum
value of 100 pF. If SELECT is HIGH, the reset pulse is
inverted.
Power failure
During a power-off condition (V
DD
< V
TRIP
), POWF goes
LOW. After a time delay (t
S
), also determined by C
CT
,
RESET goes HIGH. Any POWF assertion (V
DD
< V
TRIP
)
will result in a subsequent RESET pulse.
Voltage trip-point
By selecting the voltage trip-point slightly higher than the
minimum operating voltage of the
microcontroller/microprocessor, there is sufficient time for
data storage before the power actually fails.
In order to prevent oscillations around the voltage
trip-point, a small hysteresis has been included, resulting
in a power-on switching point that is higher than the
voltage trip-point (minimum of 15 mV). The voltage
trip-point refers to the value at which power-off is signalled.
COMIN
Input to the second comparator (comparator 2).
When used in conjunction with an external voltage divider,
this allows a second point in the system to be monitored.
This input has no built-in hysteresis. When not in use
connect to V
DD
. COMOUT will be LOW or HIGH
depending on the voltage at COMIN:
•
COMOUT = HIGH, if voltage at COMIN is above the
switch point V
SP
(typically 1.30 V).
•
COMOUT = LOW, if voltage at COMIN is below the
switch point V
SP
(typically 1.30 V).
