TheTL7700Aseriesaremonolithicintegratedcircuit
supplyvoltagesupervisorsspecificallydesi-gnedfor
use as reset controllers in microcomputer and mi-
croprocessorsystems.During power-upthedevice
teststhesupplyvoltageand keepstheRESETand
RESET outputs active (high and low, respectively)
as long as the supply voltage has not reached its
nominal voltage value. Taking RESIN low has the

addition,when the supply voltage drops below the
nominal value, the outputs will be active until the
