DS1231 Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

Description

●With precise, temperature-compensated comparators, the DS1231 Power Monitor Chip monitors input power and a 5V system power supply. If unsafe voltages are detected, a nonmaskable interrupt sends a warning signal to the processor in advance of power failure. Processing is unconditionally halted when power falls below a user-selectable 5% or 10% threshold level, with time to shutdown proportional to the available hold-up time of the power supply. Upon return of power, the DS1231 maintains reset until power conditions stabilize.

●The DS1231 enhances system reliability by closely monitoring both processor and upstream power levels, warning of impending failure, and automatically suspending and restarting processor operation. An input sense also supports a connection to switched inputs such as an opto-isolator for LED function. All external reset components (i.e., pull-up resistor and delay timing capacitor) are contained in one package, saving space and cost.
