Features
  • Standard Reset Threshold voltage: 3.08V
  • Custom Reset Threshold voltages: For other voltages between 2.2V and 5.0V in 10mV increments, contact National Semiconductor Corp.
  • No external components required
  • Manual-Reset input
  • RESET# (LM3708) or RESET (LM3709) outputs
  • Precision supply voltage monitor
  • Factory programmable Reset and Watchdog Timeout Delays
  • Available in micro SMD package for minimum footprint
  • ±0.5% Reset threshold accuracy at room temperature
  • ±2% Reset threshold accuracy over temperature extremes
  • Reset assertion down to 1V VCC (RESET# option only)
  • 28 µA VCC supply current
  • Description

    The LM3708/LM3709 series of microprocessor supervisory circuits provide the maximum flexibility for monitoring power supplies and battery controlled functions in systems without backup batteries. The LM3708/LM3709 series are available in a 9-bump micro SMD package.

    Built-in features include the following:

    Reset: Reset is asserted during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions. RESET# is guaranteed down to VCC of 1.0V.

    Manual Reset Input: An input that asserts reset when pulled low.

    Low Line Output: This early power failure warning indicator goes low when the supply voltage drops to a value which is 2% higher than the reset threshold voltage.

    Watchdog Timer: The WDI (Watchdog Input) monitors one of the µP's output lines for activity. If no output transition occurs during the watchdog timeout period, reset is activated.
