Product details
Overview
CAT823YSDI-GT3 from onsemi is a system supervisory voltage reset IC with integrated watchdog timer and manual reset input, designed for brownout detection and power-on reset in low-voltage embedded systems. It features a 2.19 V ±15 mV reset threshold, 140–400 ms reset timeout, 1.12–3.20 s watchdog timeout, TSOT-23-5 package, and operates from −40°C to +85°C. It is used in portable equipment requiring reliable microcontroller reset under unstable supply conditions.
For engineers reviewing the CAT823YSDI-GT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (2.19 V), watchdog timeout tolerance, MR input debounce timing, push-pull RESET output drive capability, and compatibility with 2.5 V/3.0 V logic domains.
Technical Context
The CAT823YSDI-GT3 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with 40 ppm/°C tempco and 5 mV hysteresis to detect VCC drops below 2.19 V. Its digital delay block enforces a minimum 140 ms active-reset period after VCC exceeds VRST, ensuring processor stabilization.
Watchdog functionality monitors WDI transitions with a 1.12–3.20 s timeout window; the MR input is internally pulled up with 35–75 kΩ and debounced to reject noise pulses <100 ns. RESET is a CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing 30 µA at 0.8×VCC and sinking 1.2 mA at 0.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.19 V ±0.06 V - precisely targets 2.5 V system brownout detection with 5 mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC recovery |
| Reset Timeout | 140–400 ms - guarantees minimum processor hold time post-power-up or post-brownout, configurable via internal timer |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12–3.20 s - provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware hangs in battery-powered microcontrollers |
| Supply Range | 1.2–5.5 V at −40°C to +85°C - supports operation down to 1.2 V, enabling use in deep-sleep or ultra-low-power states |
| MR Pullup Resistance | 35–75 kΩ - allows direct connection to mechanical pushbutton without external resistor; ensures clean low-to-high transition release |
| RESET Output Type | CMOS push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up, drives standard logic inputs directly, sinks 1.2 mA at VOL ≤0.3 V |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including portable instrumentation and control panels |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOT-23-5 (Case 419AE), 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm × 0.95 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, NiPdAu lead finish, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.2–5.5 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and digital logic; supplies RESET output stage |
| WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-triggered input; requires low-to-high or high-to-low transition every ≤3.20 s; disabled when tri-stated or open |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | CMOS push-pull; asserts low during power-up, brownout, watchdog timeout, or MR assertion; holds ≥140 ms |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and RESET output; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold sensing |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up; debounced; initiates reset when held low ≥1 µs; releases after 5 µs delay |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Reset Threshold | 2.19 V variant enables precise brownout protection for 2.5 V systems without external resistive dividers |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1.12–3.20 s timeout range detects firmware lockups in resource-constrained microcontrollers without external RC network |
| Debounced Manual Reset | 100 ns noise immunity and 1 µs minimum pulse width allow direct pushbutton interface without external filtering |
| Push-Pull RESET Output | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reduces BOM count, and ensures valid logic levels even at VCC = 1.2 V |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional down to 1.2 V supply enables use in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems with undervoltage fallback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisory reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX823ZTR | 2.19 V reset threshold, same TSOT-23-5 package, but lacks watchdog timer and MR input | Suitable only for basic power-on reset; cannot replace CAT823YSDI-GT3 in watchdog-dependent designs | Select when watchdog and manual reset are unnecessary and cost minimization is critical |
| TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1 | 2.2 V threshold, automotive-grade (−40°C to +125°C), adjustable watchdog timeout via external capacitor | Requires external RC network for watchdog; higher quiescent current (1.2 µA vs. 4 µA typical) | Choose for AEC-Q100 compliance or when programmable watchdog timing is required |
Compared with MAX823ZTR and TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1, the CAT823YSDI-GT3 uniquely integrates fixed watchdog timeout, manual reset, and 2.19 V threshold in a single TSOT-23-5 package-enabling compact, self-contained reset supervision without external components or temperature derating compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the CAT823YSDI-GT3?
The CAT823YSDI-GT3 has a guaranteed reset threshold of 2.13 V (min), 2.19 V (typ), and 2.25 V (max) over −40°C to +85°C, with 5 mV hysteresis. This 2.19 V nominal value is factory-trimmed and specified per Table 3 in the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 10, June 2024). The CAT823YSDI-GT3 uses this precise threshold to initiate reset when VCC falls below the trip point in 2.5 V domain systems.
Does the CAT823YSDI-GT3 include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout range?
Yes, the CAT823YSDI-GT3 includes a built-in watchdog timer with a guaranteed timeout range of 1.12 s (min) to 3.20 s (max) at TA = −40°C to +85°C. The watchdog resets on any WDI pin edge transition and asserts RESET if no transition occurs within that window. This feature is confirmed in the Functional Description section and Table 3 of the CAT823/CAT824 datasheet. The CAT823YSDI-GT3 relies on this timeout to recover from firmware hangs without host processor intervention.
Can the CAT823YSDI-GT3 operate with supply voltages below 2.5 V?
Yes, the CAT823YSDI-GT3 is fully specified to operate from 1.2 V to 5.5 V across −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its RESET output remains functional down to VCC = 1.2 V, and the internal voltage reference maintains accuracy per datasheet Table 2. This capability makes the CAT823YSDI-GT3 suitable for ultra-low-power applications such as coin-cell-powered wearables where supply voltage decays below 2.5 V during end-of-life.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the MR pin on the CAT823YSDI-GT3?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the CAT823YSDI-GT3 is an active-low input with internal 35–75 kΩ pull-up resistance. It initiates a reset when pulled below 0.3×VCC for ≥1 µs and includes hardware debounce rejecting noise pulses <100 ns. After MR release, RESET remains active for ≥140 ms. This behavior is documented in the PIN FUNCTIONS table and Functional Description section of the CAT823YSDI-GT3 datasheet. The CAT823YSDI-GT3 uses MR to enable front-panel reset buttons or processor-controlled emergency reset without external circuitry.
Is the CAT823YSDI-GT3 pin-compatible with other members of the CAT823 family?
Yes, the CAT823YSDI-GT3 shares identical TSOT-23-5 pinout and footprint with all CAT823 variants (e.g., CAT823RTDI-GT3, CAT823STDI-GT3) and the CAT824 series. Pin assignments-VCC, WDI, RESET, GND, MR-are fixed across the family per the PIN CONNECTIONS diagram. However, threshold voltage, watchdog presence, and RESET polarity differ between CAT823 and CAT824 models. The CAT823YSDI-GT3 maintains full mechanical and layout compatibility with other CAT823 variants, simplifying design reuse.
