Introducing the APX810S-26SA-7 Voltage Supervisor IC
The APX810S-26SA-7 is a highly precise microprocessor (μP) supervisory circuit designed by Diodes Incorporated to maintain system integrity during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions. This compact integrated circuit (IC) is essential for applications that require reliable operation and protection against unpredictable voltage fluctuations.
At the heart of the APX810S-26SA-7 is a voltage monitor that guards the system's power supply. It ensures that the voltage level remains within a safe threshold, and if a drop is detected, it generates a reset signal to the connected microprocessor. This reset signal maintains a valid logic level until the supply voltage stabilizes above the preset threshold, plus a delay time to guarantee a proper system reset.
Key Features
- Precision Monitoring: With a factory-trimmed threshold voltage of 2.63V, it provides high-accuracy voltage monitoring, ideal for sensitive electronic systems.
- Low Power Consumption: The APX810S-26SA-7 is designed for power-sensitive applications, consuming minimal power and thus preserving battery life in portable devices.
- Manual Reset Capability: It includes a manual reset input, permitting users or external circuits to initiate a system reset whenever necessary.
- Reset Timeout: The device features a 140ms minimum reset timeout duration, ensuring that the system has adequate time to recover after a power disturbance.
- Temperature Range: It operates over a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial and automotive environments.
Applications
The APX810S-26SA-7 is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including:
- Microprocessor and Microcontroller Systems
- Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment
