Voltage Detect Circuit
The Voltage Detect Circuit monitors V
DD
. The device’s
Reset voltage trip point (V
TRIP
) is selected when the
device is ordered. The voltage on the device’s V
DD
pin
determines the output state of the RST/RST pin.
V
DD
voltages above the V
TRIP(MAX)
force the RST/RST
pin inactive. V
DD
voltages below the V
TRIP(MIN)
force
the RST/RST pin active. The state of the RST/RST pin
is unknown for V
DD
voltages between V
TRIP(MAX)
and
V
TRIP(MIN)
. This is shown in
Table 4-1
TABLE 4-1:
V
DD
LEVELS TO RST/RST
OUTPUT STATES
The term V
TRIP
will be used as the general term for the
trip point voltage where the device actually trips.
In the case where V
DD
is falling (for voltages starting
above V
TRIP(MAX)
):
Voltages above V
TRIP(MAX)
will never cause the
RST/RST output pin to be driven Active.
Voltages below V
TRIP(MIN)
will always cause the
RST/RST output pin to be driven Active.
Now in the case where V
DD
is rising (for voltages
starting below V
TRIP(MIN)
):
Voltages above V
TRIP(MAX)
will always cause the
RST/RST output pin to be driven Inactive, (or
floated - TC1270AN) after the Reset Delay Timer
(t
RST
), times out.

Note 1:
The RST/RST pin will be driven inactive
after the Reset Delay Timer (t

out.

The TC1270AN RST pin will be floated
after the Reset Delay Timer (t

) times
out.
