4.3 Negative Going VDD Transients

The minimum pulse width (time) required to cause a

Reset may be an important criteria in the implementa-

tion of a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit. This time is

referred to as transient duration. The TC127XA devices

are designed to reject a level of negative-going

transients (glitches) on the power supply line.

Transient duration is the amount of time needed for

these supervisory devices to respond to a drop in VDD.

The transient duration time (tTRAN) is dependent on the

magnitude of VTRIP – VDD (overdrive). Any combination

of duration and overdrive that lies under the

duration/overdrive curve will not generate a Reset

signal. Generally speaking, the transient duration time

decreases with an increase in the VTRIP – VDD voltage.

Figure 4-9 shows an example transient duration vs.

Reset comparator overdrive. It shows that the farther

below the trip point the transient pulse goes, the

duration of the pulse required to cause a Reset gets

shorter. So any combination of duration and overdrive

that lays under the curve will not generate a Reset

signal. Combinations above the curve are detected as

a brown-out or power-down.

Transient immunity can be improved by adding a

bypass capacitor (typically 0.1 µF) as close as possible

to the VDD pin of the TC127XA device.

4.4 Manual Reset with Glitch Filter

Circuit

The Manual Reset input pin (MR) allows the Reset pins

(RST/RST) to be manually forced to their active states.

The MR pin has circuitry to filter noise pulses that may

be present on the pin. Figure 4-10 shows a block

diagram for using the TC127XA with a push button

switch. To minimize the required external components,

the MR input has an internal pull-up resistor.

A mechanical push button or active logic signal can

drive the MR input.

Once MR has been low for a time, tMD (the Manual

Reset delay time), the Reset output pins are forced

active. The Reset output pins will remain in their active

states for the Reset delay timer time out period (tRST).

Figure 4-11 shows a waveform for the Manual Reset

switch input and the Reset pins output.

4.4.1 NOISE FILTER

The noise filter filters out noise spikes (glitches) on the

Manual Reset pin (MR). Noise spikes less than 100 ns

(typical) are filtered.
