DESCRIPTION
The DS1232LP/LPS Low Power MicroMonitor Chip
monitors three vital conditions for a microprocessor:
power supply, software execution, and external over-
ride. First, a precision temperature鈥揷ompensated refer-
ence and comparator circuit monitors the status of V
CC
.
When an out鈥搊f鈥搕olerance condition occurs, an internal
power fail signal is generated which forces reset to the
active state. When V
CC
returns to an in-tolerance condi-
tion, the reset signals are kept in the active state for a
minimum of 250 ms to allow the power supply and pro-
cessor to stabilize.
The second function the DS1232LP/LPS performs is
pushbutton reset control. The DS1232LP/LPS de-
bounces the pushbutton input and guarantees an active
reset pulse width of 250 ms minimum. The third function
is a watchdog timer. The DS1232LP/LPS has an inter-
nal timer that forces the reset signals to the active state if
