General Description
The ASM706P/R/S/T/J and ASM708R/S/T/J are cost effective
CMOS supervisor circuits that monitor power-supply and
battery voltage level, and
µP/µC
operation.
The family offers several functional options. Each device
generates a reset signal during power-up, power-down and
during brownout conditions. A reset is generated when the
supply drops below 2.63V (ASM706P/R, ASM708R), 2.93V
(ASM706S, ASM708S), 3.08V (ASM706T, ASM708T) or 4.00
(ASM706J, ASM708J). In addition, the ASM706P/R/S/T/J
feature a 1.6 second watchdog timer. The watchdog timer
output will trigger a reset if connected to MR. Floating the WDI
input pin disables the watchdog timer.
The ASM708R/S/T/J have both active-HIGH and active-LOW
reset outputs but no watchdog function. The ASM706P has the
same pin-out and functions as the ASM706R but has an active-
HIGH reset output.
A versatile power-fail circuit, useful in checking battery levels
and non-5V supplies, has a 1.25V threshold. All devices have a
manual reset input. All devices are available in 8-pin DIP, SO
and the compact MicroSO packages. The MicroSO package
requires 50% less PC board area than the conventional SO
package.

Manual reset input. The active LOW input triggers
a reset pulse. It is pulled HIGH by a 20kΩ pull-up
resistor. It is compatible with TTL/CMOS signals
when V
CC
= 5V. It can be shorted to ground
through a mechanical switch. Leave folating or
connect to V
CC
if the function is not used.

Power-fail input voltage monitor. With PFI less

Power-fail output. The output is active LOW and
sinks current when PFI is less than 1.25V. If not
used, leave the pin unconnected.
Watchdog input. WDI controls the internal watch-
dog timer. A HIGH or LOW signal for 1.6sec at
WDI allows the internal timer to run-out, setting
WDO low. A rising or falling edge must occur at
WDI within 1.6 seconds or WDO goes LOW. The
watchdog function is disabled by floating WDI. The
internal watchdog timer clears when: RESET is
asserted; WDI is three-stated ; or WDI sees a ris-
ing or falling edge.
Not Connected
Active LOW reset output. Pulses LOW for 200ms
when triggered, and stays LOW whenever V

for 200ms after V

old or MR goes from HIGH to LOW. A watchdog
timeout will not trigger RESET unless WDO is con-
nected to MR.

WDO
Watchdog output. WDO goes LOW when the 1.6
second interval watchdog timer times-out and
does not go HIGH until a transition occurs at WDI.
In addition, when V
CC
falls below the reset thresh-
old, WDO goes LOW. Unlike RESET, WDO does
not have a minimum pulse width and as soon as
V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold, WDO becomes
HIGH with no delay.

Detailed Descriptions
A
proper
reset
input
enables
a
microprocessor/
microcontroller to start in a known state. ASM706 P/ R/ S/ T/
J and ASM708 R/ S/ T/ J assert reset to prevent code
execution errors during power-up, power-down and brown-
out conditions.
RESET/RESET Operation
The RESET/RESET signals are designed to start or return a
µP/µC
to a known state.
With V
CC
above 1.2V, RESET and RESET are guaranteed to
be asserted. During a power-up sequence, the reset outputs
remain asserted until the supply rises above the threshold
level. The resets are deasserted approximately 200ms after
crossing the threshold.
In a brownout situation where V
CC
falls below the threshold
level, the reset outputs are asserted. If a brownout occurs
during an already initiated reset period, the reset period will
extend for an additional reset period of 200ms.
The ASM708 devices have dual reset outputs, one active
LOW and one active HIGH. The ASM706P has a single
active HIGH reset and the ASM706/R/S/T/J devices have an
active LOW reset output.

Manual Reset (MR)
The active-LOW manual reset input is pulled high by an
internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor and can be driven low by
CMOS/TTL logic or a mechanical switch to ground. An
external debounce circuit is
unnecessary since the 140ms minimum reset time will
debounce mechanical pushbutton switches. The minimum
MR input pulse width is 0.5µs with a 3V V
CC
input and 0.15µs
with a 5V V
CC
input. If not used, tie MR to V
CC
or leave
floating.
Figure 1: WDI Three-state operation
By connecting the watchdog output (WDO) and MR, a
watchdog timeout forces a RESET to be generated.
Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer available on the ASM706P/R/S/T/J
monitors
µP/µC
activity. An output line on the processor is
used to toggle the WDI line. If the line is not toggled within 1.6
seconds on the Watchdog Input (WDI), the internal timer puts
the Watchdog Output (WDO) into a LOW state. WDO will
remain LOW until a toggle is detected at WDI.
The watchdog function is disabled, meaning it is cleared and
not counting, if WDI is floated or connected to a three-stated
circuit. The watchdog timer is also disabled if RESET is
asserted. When RESET becomes inactive and the WDI input
sees a high or low transition as short as 100ns (V

= 2.7V)/
