The IMP1232LP/ LPS microprocessor supervisor can halt and restart a
“hung-up” or “stalled” microprocessor, restart a microprocessor after a
power failure, and debounce and interface a manual push-button micro-
processor reset switch. The low-power supervisors feature 40% lower
supply current than the pin compatible Dallas Semiconductor
DS1232LP/ LPS.
Precision temperature compensated reference and comparator circuits
monitor the 5V, V
CC
input voltage. During power-up or when the V
CC
power supply falls outside selectable tolerance limits, both the RESET
and RESET become active. When V
CC
rises above the threshold voltage,
the reset signals remain active for an additional 250ms minimum,
allowing the power supply and system microprocessor to stabilize. The
trip point tolerance signal, TOL, selects the trip level tolerance to be
either 5- or 10-percent.
Each device has both a push-pull, active HIGH reset output and an open
drain, active LOW reset output.
A debounced manual reset input activates the reset outputs for a mini-
mum period of 250ms.
Also included is a watchdog timer to stop and restart a microprocessor
that is “hung-up”. Three watchdog time-out periods are selectable:

150ms, 610ms and 1,200ms. If the ST input is not strobed
LOW before the time-out period expires, a reset is issued.
Devices are available in 8-pin DIP, 8/ 16-pin SO and com-
pact 8-pin MicroSO packages.
