Microchip Technology 

Table 4-2 shows the various device trip point options

and their VTRIP(MAX) and VTRIP(MIN) voltages. Also the

negative percentage change from common regulated

voltages is shown.

In the case where VDD is falling from the regulated volt-

age, as the VDD crosses the VTRIP voltage the

RST/RST pin is driven active. Now the desired circuitry

is in reset, or the circuitry has the indication that the

VDD is below the selected VTRIP.

In the case where VDD is rising. As the VDD crosses the

VTRIP voltage, the RST/RST pin is driven inactive after

the Reset Delay Timer elapses. Now the desired cir-

cuitry is released from reset and will start to operate in

its normal mode, or the circuitry has the indication that

the VDD is above the selected VTRIP.

Voltage regulator circuit must have tighter

tolerance (%) than VTRIP(MAX) % from

regulated voltage.

Circuitry being reset must have a wider

tolerance (%) than VTRIP(MIN) % from

regulated voltage.

The TC1270A/TC1270AN/TC1271A devices are

optimized to reject fast transient glitches on the VDD

line. If the low input signal (which is below VTRIP) is not

rejected, the Reset output is driven active within 50 µs

of VDD falling through the Reset voltage threshold.

After the device exits the Reset condition, the delay

circuitry will hold the RST/RST pin active until the

appropriate Reset delay time (tRST) has elapsed.

During device power up, the input voltage is below the

Trip Point voltage. The device must enter the valid

operating range for the device to start operation.

4.2.1 HYSTERESIS

There is also a minimal hysteresis (VHYS) on the trip

point. This is so that small noise signals on the device

voltage (VDD) do not cause the Reset pin (RST/RST) to

“jitter” (change between driving an active and inactive).

The characterization graphs shown in Figures 2-13

through 2-15 shows the device hysteresis as a percent-

age of the voltage trip point (VTRIP).

The Reset Delay Timer (tRST) gives a time based hys-

teresis for the system.

4.2.2

POWER-UP/RISING VDD

As the device VDD rises, the device’s Reset circuit will

remain active until the voltage rises above the “actual”

trip point (VTRIP).

Figure 4-7 shows a power-up sequence and the wave-

form of the RST and RST pins. As the device powers

up, the voltage will start below the valid operating volt-

age of the device. At this voltage, the RST/RST output

is not valid. Once the voltage is above the minimum

operating voltage (1V) and below the selected VTRIP,

the Reset output will be active.

Once the device voltage rises above the VTRIP voltage,

the Reset delay timer (tRST) starts. When the Reset

delay timer times out, the Reset output (RST/RST) is

driven inactive.
