TC54
General Description
The TC54 Series are CMOS voltage detectors, suited
especially for battery-powered applications because of
their extremely low 1µA operating current and small
surface-mount packaging. Each part is laser trimmed to
the desired threshold voltage which can be specified
from 1.1V to 6.0V and 7.7V, for a 2% 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
specified 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 TC54V, this is an open-drain condition. 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
IN
MIN
, of
0.7V. Below this minimum operating voltage, the output
is undefined. During power-up or anytime V
IN
has fallen
below V
IN
MIN
, V
OUT
will remain undefined until V
IN
rises
above V
IN
MIN
, at which time the output will become
valid. V
OUT
will be in its active low state while V
IN
MIN
<
V
IN
< V
DET
+. (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).
