DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZSM561 is a three terminal under
vo l ta ge mo ni t or ci rc ui t f or use i n
microprocessor systems. The threshold
voltage of the device has been set to 4.6 volts
making it ideal for 5 volt circuits.
Included in the device is a precise voltage
reference and a comparator with built in
hysteresis to prevent erratic operation. The
ZSM561 features an open collector output
capable of sinking at least l0mA which only
requires a single external resistor to
interface to following circuits.
Operation of the device is guaranteed from
one volt upwards, from this level to the
device threshold voltage the output is held
low providing a power on reset function.
Should the supply voltage, once established,
at any time drop below the threshold level
then the output again will pull low. Also
included is a 6 volt zener diode connected
between Vcc and Gnd. With just the addition
of a low cost external NPN transistor and
resistor, this zener allows the ZSM561 to
provide both regulator and supply monitor
functions
The device is available in a TO92 package for
through hole applications as well as SO8 and
SOT223 for surface mount requirements.

Note:
1. Maximum package power dissipation must be observed.
2. Maximum power dissipation for the SOT223 and SO8 packages is calculated assuming that
the device is mounted on a PCB measuring 2 inches square.
3. Low duty cycle pulse techniques are used during test to maintain junction temperatures as
close to ambient as possible
4. A time delayed reset can be accomplished with the additional Cd.
5. Operation above V
z
may be restricted by the supply current rating I
