Functional Description
Microprocessors (µPs) and microcontrollers (µC) have a
reset input to ensure that it starts up in a known state.
The APX803/D drive the µP’s reset input to prevent
code-execution errors during power-up, power-down, or
brownout conditions. They assert a reset signal
whenever the V
preset threshold and keep it asserted for a fixed period
of time after V
the APX803D this period is a minimum of 1ms while for
other APX803 variants it is at least 140ms. The
APX803/D have an open-drain output stage.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output
Down to V
Once V
keeps RESET low for the reset timeout period; after
this interval, RESET goes high. If a brownout condition
occurs (V
threshold, the internal timer resets to zero, and RESET
goes low. The internal timer starts after V
above the reset threshold, and RESET remains low for
the reset timeout period.

3-PIN MICROPROCESSOR RESET CIRCUIT
When V
output no longer sinks current — it becomes an open
circuit. Therefore, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs
connected to RESET can drift to undetermined voltages.
This presents no problem in most applications since
most µP and other circuitry is inoperative with V
1V.
Interfacing to µP with Bidirectional Reset Pins
Since the RESET output on the APX803/D is open drain,
this device interfaces easily with μP/µC that have
bidirectional reset pins, such as the Motorola 68HC11.
Connecting the μP supervisor’s RESET output directly to
the microcontroller’s (μC’s) RESET pin with a single pull-
up resistor allows either device to assert reset.
Supervising and monitoring Multiple Supplies
Generally, the pull-up resistor connected to the
APX803/D will connect to the supply voltage that is being
monitored at the IC’s V
may use the APX803/D open-drain output to level-shift
from the monitored supply to reset the µP powered by a
different supply voltage or monitor multiple supplies that
will be fed into 1 µC/µP reset input.
