#142945 - reset supervisors
Hello,

after reading some other threads I'd like to collect usable information what exactly makes a reset supervisor.

My personal experience on breadboard designs verifies the opinion that RC resets are not really suitable, tested mainly for Atmel chips including T89C51CC02, 89S52 and 89C2051. I personally use a MAX700 for reset control. However I'd like to know what exactly makes this a real supervisor instead of just generating proper reset pulses. I use it only in the latter way by connecting the RESET out to the RESET in of the uC in charge. It monitors VCC indirectly as this IC ofcourse needs the 5V as the uC so they are connected that way. I'm mainly confused so in short: a usable description on reset generating cirsuit vs reset supervisor

Any input is really appreciated.

thanks,
Matthias

   two purposes of the IC (at least)            01/01/70 00:00

         you are talking about the RC resets, I assume            01/01/70 00:00      
            No, I'm referring to the DS and Max 1232            01/01/70 00:00

                  It's just not that simple ...            01/01/70 00:00

                           I never doubted that, Kai            01/01/70 00:00      
                              can you please be more precise...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
                              It is a black box and you will never find out...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 It\'s the power supply, and probably not the reset.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    That's not what the bible states...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Isn't that the same thing with different syntax?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          No, is not. Look at INTEL's original C51 manual!            01/01/70 00:00

                                                It can, I believe, be done simply.            01/01/70 00:00

                                                Seems reasonable            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             There's been nothing specific enough to test.            01/01/70 00:00

                                                         I\'ve got to be careful ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Jan, you\'re missing my point!            01/01/70 00:00      
                           that's too easy to answer            01/01/70 00:00      
                              You have stories, but no specifics            01/01/70 00:00
