austriamicrosystems Launches Low-Voltage Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits.AS1907-09 Family Offers Precise Monitoring of Systems While Working with Lowest Input Voltages UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria -- austriamicrosystems (SWX SWX Swiss Exchange (trademark of SWX Swiss Exchange) SWX SolidWorks (3D solid modeling CAD software) SWX Splitter / Wave Division Multiplexer :AMS AMS - Andrew Message System ), a leading global designer and manufacturer of analog integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) for communication, industrial, medical and automotive applications, has expanded its supervisory portfolio with the AS1907-09 family of microprocessor supervisory ICs. The new family is ideal for monitoring the supply voltages of 1.8V to 3.3V systems. "These small, low-power microprocessor reset circuits require no external components and consume only 2.4uA of quiescent quiescent at rest; latent; the G0 stage of the cell cycle. current which making the AS1907-09 family ideal for portable and battery-powered equipment, computers, intelligent instruments, critical uP and uC power monitoring, controllers and automotive applications," said Walter Moshammer, Marketing Director Standard Linear at austriamicrosystems. Highly reliable, the AS1907-09 family devices monitor the supply voltage of digital systems and microprocessors and initiate a reset if the voltage decreases below a certain threshold. The reset threshold itself has an outstanding accuracy of +/-0.9%. Reset thresholds from +1.6V to +2.5V are available in approximately 100mV increments. Each device is available with three minimum reset timeout period options of 1ms, 20ms, or 100ms. The product family offers three devices with different output drivers. The AS1907 has a push-pull driver with an active low reset. The AS1908 uses the same output stage, but has an active high reset. The AS1909 has an open drain Open drain is one of the many different electrical input/output standards in digital designs today. Definition The word "drain" in the term "Open-drain" refers to the drain terminal of a MOSFET transistor. (The analogous term for BJT devices is open collector. output with an active low reset. The AS1907-09 family works with a supply voltage range from 0.7 to 3.6V and the reset output itself is guaranteed to be valid down to 0.7V (AS1907/08) or 1.0V (AS1909). The devices are available in a small 3-pin SOT23 package, suitable for operating environments In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. ranging from -40xC to +125xC which making these reset circuits also ideal for industrial applications.
