The LM3704 is a microprocessor supervisory circuit that provides the maximum flexibility for monitoring power supplies and battery-controlled functions. The reset threshold is typically 3.08 V but can be customized for voltages between 2.2 V and 5 V in 10-mV increments by contacting Texas Instruments. The power-fail input, which is a 1.225-V threshold detector for power-fail warning, can be adjusted using a resistor divider as shown in Figure 11. This section shows various application circuits to provide different monitoring solutions.
The component count is minimal; employing two resistors as part of a voltage-divider circuit is all that is needed for the typical application of monitoring two critical supplies shown in Figure 11.
The voltage-divider circuit that connects to the power-fail reset pin is chosen such that the reset threshold at the device is 1.225 V as shown in Figure 11.
The LM3704 voltage supervisor has various features such as power-fail input detection, low-line output, and manual reset while requiring few to no additional components making it versatile and easy-to-use. See Figure 14 through Figure 18 for a variety of circuit applications.
