The STM804SM6E supervisor is a self-contained device which provides microprocessor supervisory functions with the ability to non-volatize and write protect external LPSRAM. A precision voltage reference and comparator monitors the VCC input for an out-of-tolerance condition. When an invalid VCC condition occurs, the reset output (RST) is forced low (or high in the case of RST). These devices also offer a watchdog timer (except for STM704/795/806) as well as a power-fail comparator (except for STM795) to provide the system with an early warning of impending power failure.
These devices are available in a standard 8-pin SOIC package or a space-saving 8-pin TSSOP package.
