The TL7700 supply-voltage supervisor allows for any voltage greater than 500mV to be monitored. This flexibility allows it to be used in many applications from FPGAs and Microcontrollers to Industrial supply monitoring.
Figure 21 shows an application where the TL7700 device is being used to sense the voltage supply for a microcontroller that is supplied with 5 V. If the sense voltage drops below 4.5 V, the RESET pin is pulled LOW, signaling the microcontroller to reset.
The SENSE terminal input voltage, Vs, of the TL7700 typically is 500 mV. By using two external resistors, any sense voltage over 500 mV can be sensed.
Resistor R1 should be selected first to set the desired hysteresis. See Sense-Voltage Hysteresis Setting for detailed information on how to set the hysteresis.
Resistor R2 should then be selected based on the R1 value and the desired Vs' voltage. In Figure 18, the sensing voltage, Vs', is calculated as: Vs' = Vs × (R1 + R2)/R2
