LM3710/LM3711
Microprocessor Supervisory Circuits with Power Fail
Input, Low Line Output, Manual Reset and Watchdog
Timer
General Description
The LM3710/LM3711 series of microprocessor supervisory
circuits provide the maximum flexibility for monitoring power
supplies and battery controlled functions in systems without
backup batteries. The LM3710/LM3711 series are available
in MSOP-10 and 9-bump micro SMD packages.
Built-in features include the following:
Reset: Reset is asserted during power-up, power-down, and
brownout conditions. RESET is guaranteed down to V
CC
of
1.0V.
Manual Reset Input: An input that asserts reset when pulled
low.
Power-Fail Input: A 1.225V threshold detector for power fail
warning, or to monitor a power supply other than V
CC
.
Low Line Output: This early power failure warning indicator
goes low when the supply voltage drops to a value which is
2% higher than the reset threshold voltage.
Watchdog Timer: The WDI (Watchdog Input) monitors one of
the µP’s output lines for activity. If no output transition occurs
during the watchdog timeout period, reset is activated.

LM3710/LM3711 Series Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device
is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the
listed conditions.
Note 2: The Human Body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ-A,
and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperture is calculated using:
Where the value of θJ-A for the MSOP-10 package is 195˚C/W in a typical PC board mounting and the micro SMD package is 220˚C/W.

Circuit Information
RESET OUTPUT
The Reset input of a µP initializes the device into a known
state. The LM3710/LM3711 microprocessor supervisory cir-
cuits assert a forced reset output to prevent code execution
errors during power-up, power-down, and brownout condi-
tions.
RESET is guaranteed valid for V
CC
>1V. Once V
CC
ex-
ceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer maintains the
output for the reset timeout period. After this interval, reset
goes high. The LM3710 offers an active-low RESET; The
LM3711 offers an active-high RESET.
Any time V
CC
drops below the reset threshold (such as
during a brownout), the reset activates. When V
CC
again
rises above the reset threshold, the internal timer starts.
Reset holds until V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold for longer
than the reset timeout period. After this time, reset releases.
The Manual Reset input (MR) will initiate a forced reset also.
See the Manual Reset Input section.
RESET THRESHOLD
The LM3710/LM3711 family is available with a reset voltage
of 3.08V. Other reset thresholds in the 2.20V to 5.0V range,
in steps of 10 mV, are available; contact National Semicon-
ductor for details.
MANUAL RESET INPUT (MR)
Many µP-based products require a manual reset capability,
allowing the operator to initiate a reset. The MR input is fully
debounced and provides an internal 56 kpull-up. When the
MR input is pulled below V
MRT
(1.225V) for more than 25 µs,
reset is asserted after a typical delay of 12 µs. Reset remains
active as long as MR is held low, and releases after the reset
timeout period expires after MR rises above V
MRT
. Use MR
with digital logic to assert or to daisy chain supervisory
circuits. It may be used as another low-line comparator by
adding a buffer.
POWER-FAIL COMPARATOR (PFI/PFO)
The PFI is compared to a 1.225V internal reference, V
PFT
.If
PFI is less than V
PFT
, the Power Fail Output PFO drops low.
The power-fail comparator signals a falling power supply,
and is driven typically by an external voltage divider that
senses either the unregulated supply or another system
supply voltage. The voltage divider generally is chosen so
the voltage at PFI drops below V
PFT
several milliseconds
before the main supply voltage drops below the reset thresh-
old, providing advanced warning of a brownout.
The voltage threshold is set by R
1
and R
2
and is calculated
as follows:
Note this comparator is completely separate from the rest of
the circuitry, and may be employed for other functions as
needed.
LOW-LINE OUTPUT (LLO)
The low-line output comparator is typically used to provide a
non-maskable interrupt to a µP when V
CC
begins falling. LLO
monitors V
CC
and goes low when V
CC
falls below V
LLOT
(typically 1.02 V
RST
) with hysteresis of 0.0032 V
RST
.
WATCHDOG TIMER INPUT (WDI)
The watchdog timer input monitors one of the microproces-
sors output lines for activity. Each time a transition occurs on
this monitored line, the watchdog counter is reset. However,
if no transition occurs and the timeout period is reached, the
LM3710/LM3711 assumes that the microprocessor has
locked up and the reset output is activated.
WDI is a high impedance input.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE MICRO SMD
PACKAGE
As with most integrated circuits, the LM3710 and LM3711
are sensitive to exposure from visible and infrared (IR) light
radiation. Unlike a plastic encapsulated IC, the micro SMD
package has very limited shielding from light, and some
sensitivity to light reflected from the surface of the PC board
or long wavelength IR entering the die from the side may be
experienced. This light could have an unpredictable affect on
the electrical performance of the IC. Care should be taken to
shield the device from direct exposure to bright visible or IR
light during operation.
MICRO SMD MOUNTING
The micro SMD package requires specific mounting tech-
niques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Appli-
cation Note AN-1112. Referring to the section Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations,it
should be noted that the pad style which must be used with
the 9-pin package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined)
type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the
PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro
SMD device.
