• Embedded controllers
• Industrial control systems
• Automotive electronics
• Consumer electronics

Features:

• Precision voltage monitoring
• Power-on reset generation
• Low supply current
• Guaranteed reset assertion down to 1V
• Available in various reset threshold voltages
• Active-low reset output

Benefits:

• Reliable system operation: Prevents system malfunctions due to low voltage conditions.
• Data protection: Prevents data corruption by resetting the microprocessor during power failures.
• Simplified system design: Reduces the need for external components, simplifying the power supply monitoring circuitry.
• Low power consumption: Minimizes the impact on the overall system power budget.
• Wide operating voltage range: Suitable for a variety of microprocessor-based systems.

Technical Specifications:

The IMP708JEPA operates with a supply voltage range typically between 2.5V and 5.5V. It features a precision voltage monitoring circuit that detects when the supply voltage drops below the preset threshold. The reset output is active-low, meaning it is asserted (pulled low) when the voltage is below the threshold. The reset output remains asserted for a specified reset timeout period after the voltage rises above the threshold, ensuring that the microprocessor has sufficient time to initialize properly. The device is available in various reset threshold voltages to accommodate different microprocessor requirements. The low supply current minimizes the impact on the overall system power consumption.
