Supervisor Family with Industry-Standard Devices
Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. announced three devices which provide system processor power supply monitoring and reset functions. The CAT823 [1], CAT824 [2] and CAT825 [3] voltage supervisors are available in a choice of seven standard threshold levels: 4.63V, 4.38V, 3.08V, 2.93V, 2.63V, 2.32V and 2.19V. In addition to an active-low reset output included on all three devices, the CAT823 also offers a manual reset and a watchdog input, while the CAT824 provides an additional active-high reset and a watchdog input. The CAT825 features active-low, active-high and manual reset functions. The supervisors come in 5-lead TSOT-23 and 5-lead SC-70 packages and are pin-for-pin compatible with MAX823, MAX824 and MAX825 devices. The company offers 2.19V and 2.32V thresholds in both TSOT-23 and SC-70 packages. They are priced at $0.48 each in 10,000 piece quantities. Samples of the CAT823 and CAT825 are available now; samples of the CAT824 will be available soon. Projected lead-time for production quantities is currently 6 to 8 weeks ARO.
