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,
in 0.1V steps 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.

Refer to the Timing Chart below. In normal steady-state
–
operation, when V
IN
> V
DET
, the output will be at a logic high.
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
the Electrical Characteristics section).
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

will be in its active low state while V
IN

< V

.
+
–
(V
DET
= V

). If and when the input rises above
+
V
DET
, the output will assume its inactive state. (High for
TC54VC, open-drain for TC54VN).
