Monitor, Control and Protection Supervisory Circuits Single Supply Monitors

Single Supply Monitors

Linear Technology single supply supervisory circuits offer many benefits that help simplify design, such as high accuracy, adjustable thresholds and tolerances, and a guaranteed RESET signal down to a low supply voltage. Most Linear Technology supervisors exhibit ±1.5% threshold accuracy around the nominal threshold voltage, minimizing the required system voltage margin and probability of system malfunction. Voltage supervisors with adjustable or pin-selectable thresholds and tolerances provide users with maximum flexibility, allowing a single part to be used across multiple designs. Some applications require a valid reset signal at low supply voltages in order to prevent low voltage components from generating erroneous data or malfunction as a system powers up or down. Linear Technology supervisors guarantee a valid reset signal to an industry leading low of 0.5V to help preserve system integrity.
