DS1232N+ Voltage Supervisor Type, Maxim Integrated Voltage Supervisor 5.5V max. 8-Pin PDIP, DS1232N+

The DS1232 MicroMonitor™ Chip monitors three vital conditions for a microprocessor: power supply, software execution, and external override. First, a precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, an internal power fail signal is generated which forces reset to the active state. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signals are kept in the active state for a minimum of 250ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize.
