Product details
Overview
LM3704XCMMX-263 from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a microprocessor supervisory IC providing power-up/down/brownout reset, manual reset input, power-fail warning, and early low-line detection for embedded systems. It features a 3.08V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout period, totem-pole RESET output, and operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply. Used in critical µP power monitoring where reliable early fault signaling is required.
For engineers reviewing the LM3704XCMMX-263 datasheet, LM3704XCMMX-263 pinout, LM3704XCMMX-263 application, or LM3704XCMMX-263 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial and automotive power supervision designs.
Technical Context
The LM3704XCMMX-263 integrates four independent comparators: one for VCC reset detection (3.08V threshold), one for PFI (1.225V reference), one for MR (1.225V threshold), and one for LLO (1.02×VRST = ~3.14V). All comparators include hysteresis (0.0032×VRST) to prevent chatter during voltage transitions.
It implements a precision internal timer that guarantees RESET assertion for exactly 200ms after VCC rises above VRST or MR releases, with valid operation down to VCC = 1.0V. The totem-pole RESET output drives high/low actively and supports ISINK up to 3.2mA at 4.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±0.5% at 25°C; ensures reliable reset initiation when main supply drops below nominal 3.3V rail. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms fixed; guarantees minimum reset pulse width sufficient to initialize most 8-/16-bit microcontrollers. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; enables supervision of ultra-low-voltage logic rails and compatibility with 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Supply Current | 28µA typical; minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| PFO/LLO Output Type | Totem-pole; provides rail-to-rail switching without external pull-up, simplifying interface to µP NMI or interrupt pins. |
| LLO Threshold | 1.02×VRST (~3.14V); triggers early warning 2% above reset point, enabling graceful shutdown before reset asserts. |
| MR Input Threshold | 1.225V with 56kΩ internal pull-up; allows direct connection to open-drain logic or pushbutton without external components. |
Pinout & Package
LM3704XCMMX-263 is packaged in a 9-bump micro SMD (BPA09FFB), measuring 1.412mm × 1.412mm × 0.850mm, with non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) pads per AN-1112.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Primary supply rail monitored; RESET remains asserted until VCC ≥ 3.08V for ≥200ms. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all comparators and outputs; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold tracking. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Totem-pole logic output; drives low during reset conditions and high otherwise; sinks up to 3.2mA. |
| PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors auxiliary supply via external divider; asserts PFO low when input falls below 1.225V. |
| LLO | Low-line output | Early warning signal; goes low when VCC drops to ~3.14V, enabling NMI-based pre-reset response. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Debounced input with 1.225V threshold and internal 56kΩ pull-up; initiates 200ms reset pulse when pulled low ≥25µs. |
| NC | No-connect | Pins A1 (MR) and B2 (test) are unused; must be left floating per datasheet guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 200ms reset timeout | Eliminates need for external RC timing network; ensures consistent, repeatable reset duration across temperature and voltage. |
| ±0.5% reset threshold accuracy at 25°C | Reduces design margin requirements for 3.3V systems; avoids unnecessary over-specification of supply rails. |
| Separate 1.225V PFI comparator | Enables independent monitoring of unregulated or secondary supplies-e.g., detecting AC adapter loss before main rail collapses. |
| LLO output at 1.02×VRST | Provides deterministic early-warning window (~60mV above reset point) for firmware-controlled save-and-shutdown sequences. |
| 28µA supply current | Extends battery life in portable instruments; supports >10-year operation on coin-cell when paired with low-power µP sleep modes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the reset timeout period for LM3704XCMMX-263?
The LM3704XCMMX-263 has a factory-programmed reset timeout period of 200ms. This duration is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (1.0V to 5.5V). The timer starts when VCC rises above the 3.08V reset threshold or when the MR input releases, ensuring consistent reset pulse width for reliable microcontroller initialization.
Does LM3704XCMMX-263 support operation below 1.8V?
Yes, LM3704XCMMX-263 operates down to VCC = 1.0V, with RESET guaranteed active at that level. Its 3.08V reset threshold and 200ms timeout remain functional across the full 1.0V–5.5V range. This makes LM3704XCMMX-263 suitable for supervising low-voltage microcontrollers and battery-backed circuits where supply rails may sag significantly during brownout conditions.
What is the function of the LLO pin on LM3704XCMMX-263?
The LLO (Low-Line Output) pin on LM3704XCMMX-263 is an active-low early power-fail warning signal that asserts when VCC falls to 1.02×VRST (~3.14V). It provides a deterministic window-approximately 60mV above the 3.08V reset threshold-for firmware to execute critical tasks like saving state or disabling peripherals before RESET activates, enhancing system robustness in power-sensitive applications.
Can LM3704XCMMX-263 monitor a secondary power supply?
Yes, LM3704XCMMX-263 includes a dedicated PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin with a precise 1.225V internal reference. By connecting an external resistor divider from a secondary supply (e.g., unregulated 12V or battery rail) to PFI, the device asserts PFO low when that supply drops below the threshold-enabling independent monitoring of multiple rails without additional comparators or ICs.
What package type is used for LM3704XCMMX-263?
LM3704XCMMX-263 uses a 9-bump micro SMD package (NS Package Number BPA09FFB), measuring 1.412mm × 1.412mm × 0.850mm. It requires NSMD (non-solder-mask-defined) landing pads per Application Note AN-1112 and is optimized for space-constrained PCBs in portable and automotive electronics where minimal footprint is critical.
