Manual Reset Input. A logic low on 
MR
 asserts reset. Reset remains asserted as long as 
MR
  is 
low and for 
at 
least 140ms after
MR
 returns high, This active-low input has an internal 20k
 pull- 
up resistor. It can be driven from a TTL or CMOS-logic line, or shorted to ground with a switch. 
Leave open if unused.

Detailed Description 
A microprocessor’s (μP’s) reset input starts the μP in a 
known state. The G693L/G692L/G692H assert reset to 
prevent code-execution errors during power-up, 
power-down, or brownout conditions. They assert a 
reset signal whenever the V
CC
 supply voltage declines 
below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at 
least 140ms after V
CC
 has risen above the reset 
threshold. The G693L uses an open-drain output, and 
the G692L/G692H have a push-pull output stage. Con-
nect a pull-up resistor on the G693L’s RESET output to 
any supply between 0 and 5.5V. 
The manual reset input (
MR
) can also initiate a reset. 
See the Manual Reset Input Section. 
Manual Reset Input 
Many μP-based products require manual reset capabil-
ity, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external 
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic low on 
MR
as-
serts reset. Reset remains asserted while 
MR
 is low, 
and for the Reset Active Timeout Period (t
RP
) after 
MR
 returns high. This input has an internal 20k
pull-up resistor, so it can be left open if it is not used. 
MR
can be driven with TTL or CMOS-logic levels, or 
with open-drain / collector outputs. Connect a normally 
open momentary switch from 
MR
to GND to create a 
manual-reset function; external debounce circuitry is 
not required. If 
MR
is driven from long cables or if the 
device is used in a noisy environment, connecting a 
0.1μF capacitor from 
MR
to ground provides additional 
noise immunity.
