Pin Description
PIN
NAME
High-Voltage Theshold (Input): Analog input to a comparator. When the level on this pin initially
rises above V
TH
, the delay generator cycles and the
RESET
remains low or RESET remains high
for a minimum of 140ms.
2
GND
Ground
Low-Voltage Threshold (Input): Analog input to a comparator. This is the voltage monitor input
assigned to detect a low voltage condition. When the level on this pin falls below V
TH
,
RESET
or
RESET is asserted and the condition is latched until V
HTH
> V
TH
.
Reset (Output): Push-pull output. This output is asserted and latched when V
LTH
<V
TH
, indicating
a low voltage condition. This state remains latched until V
HTH
> V
TH
. The polarity of this signal
(active-high or low) is determined by the part number suffix. See ordering information.

CC
Power Supply (Input): Independent supply input for internal circuitry.
Detailed Description
A microprocessor’s (μP’s) reset input starts the μP in a
known state. The G681L/G680L/G680H assert reset to
prevent code-execution errors during power-up,
power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a
reset signal whenever the threshold voltage declines
below V
TH
, keeping it asserted for at least 140ms after
threshold voltage input has risen above the reset
threshold. The G681L uses an open-drain output, and
the G680L/G680H have a push-pull output stage.
Connect a pull-up resistor on the G681L’s RESET out-
put to any supply between 0 and 5.5V.

(RESET)
Battery voltage is monitored by a comparator via a
voltage divider network. The divided voltage is com-
pared to an internal reference voltage. When the volt-
age at the LTH input pin drops below the internal ref-
erence voltage, the output is asserted. At this point,
the voltage at HTH is assumed to be below the refer-
ence voltage.

Transients
In addition to issuing a reset to the μP during
power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions, the
G681L/G680H/G680L are relatively immune to short-
duration negative-going V
LTH
transients (glitches).
Figure1. shows typical transient duration vs. reset
comparator overdrive, for which the G681L/G680H/
G680L do not generate a reset pulse. The graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to
V
LTH
, starting 0.1V above the actual reset threshold
and ending below it by the magnitude indicated (reset
comparator overdrive). The graph indicates the maxi-
mum pulse width a negative-going V
LTH
transient can
have without causing a reset pulse. As the magnitude
of the transient increases (goes farther below the reset
threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width de-
creases. Typically, a V
LTH
transient that goes 100mV
below the reset threshold and lasts 7μs or less will not
cause a reset pulse. A 0.1μF bypass capacitor
mounted as close as possible to the V
LTH
pin provides
additional transient immunity.
Programming the Thresholds
The low-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1+R2+R3
R2+R3

BAT (Io)
= V
REF
The low-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1+R2+R3

V
BAT (hi)
= V

where, for both equations:
V
BAT (hi)
= 1.245V
In order to provide the additional criteria needed to
solve for the resistor values, the resistors can be se-
lected such that they have a given total value, that is,
R1 + R2 + R3 = R
