DESCRIPTION
The CAT823, CAT824, and CAT825 provide basic
reset and monitoring functions for the electronic
systems. Each device monitors the system voltage
and maintains a reset output until that voltage reaches
the device’s specified trip value and then maintains
the reset output active condition until the device’s
internal timer, after a minimum timer of 140ms; to
allow the systems power supply to stabilize.
The CAT823 and CAT824 also have a watchdog input
which can be used to monitor a system signal and
cause a reset to be issued if the signal fails to change
state prior to a timeout condition.
The CAT823 and CAT825 also provide a manual
reset input which can be used to initiate reset if pulled
low. This input can be directly attached to a push-
button or a processor signal.
