TC54
General Description
The TC54 Series are CMOS voltage detectors that are
especially well suited for battery-powered applications
because of their extremely low 1 µA operating current
and small surface-mount packaging. Each part is
laser-trimmed to the desired threshold voltage, which
can be specified from 1.4V to 7.7V for a 2% tolerance,
and 1.5V to 6.0V for a 1% tolerance.
The device includes a comparator, low-current high-
precision reference, laser-trimmed divider, hysteresis
circuit and output driver. The TC54 is available with
either an open-drain or complementary output stage.
In operation, the TC54's output (V
OUT
) remains in the
logic-high state as long as V
IN
is greater than the spec-
ified threshold voltage (V
DET -
). When V
IN
falls below
V
DET-
, the output is driven to a logic-low. V
OUT
remains
low until V
IN
rises above V
DET -
by an amount V
HYST
,
whereupon it resets to a logic-high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In normal steady-state operation when V
IN
> V
DET-
,
the output will be at a logic-high (see Figure 3-1). In
the case of the TC54VN, this is an open-drain condi-
tion. If and when the input falls below V
DET -
, the output
will pull down (Logic
0)
to V
SS
. Generally, V
OUT
can
pull down to within 0.5V of V
SS
at rated output current
and input voltage. (See Section 1.0, “Electrical
Characteristics”).
The output (V
OUT
) will stay valid until the input voltage
falls below the minimum operating voltage (V
INMIN
) of
0.7V. Below this minimum operating voltage, the output
is undefined. During power-up (or anytime V
IN
has
fallen below V
INMIN
), V
OUT
will remain undefined until
V
IN
rises above V
INMIN
. Once this occurs, the output
will become valid. V
OUT
will be in its active-low state,
while V
INMIN
< V
IN
< V
DET+
(therefore, V
DET+
= V
DET-
+ V
HYST
). If and when the input rises above V
DET +
, the
output will assume its inactive state (high for TC54VC,
open-drain for TC54VN).
