Product details
Overview
M51955BFP#CF0R from Renesas Electronics is an L-type (active-low) voltage-detecting system reset IC with externally adjustable detection threshold, 200 µs typical delay, open-collector output, and operation across 2 V to 17 V supply range. It serves as a precision power-on reset supervisor for microcomputers and logic circuits in industrial control and battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the M51955BFP#CF0R datasheet, M51955BFP#CF0R pinout, M51955BFP#CF0R application, or M51955BFP#CF0R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.25 V internal reference, ±15 mV hysteresis, 360 µA typical circuit current at 5 V, –30°C to +85°C operating temperature, and compatibility with external resistor-based voltage setting from 2 V to 15 V.
Technical Context
The M51955BFP#CF0R implements a comparator-based detection architecture with a precision 1.25 V bandgap reference and 25 µA internal bias current. Its input stage accepts externally divided supply voltage, enabling programmable reset thresholds without trimming.
It integrates a built-in RC delay network yielding ~200 µs reset pulse width and features an open-collector output stage capable of sinking up to 4 mA while maintaining ≤0.4 V saturation voltage at 5 V supply. The device operates down to 0.55 V supply (L-type minimum operating voltage) and supports independent input voltage sourcing within defined limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Voltage | 1.25 V (typ), adjustable via external R1/R2 divider - enables custom reset thresholds from 2 V to 15 V |
| Hysteresis | 15 mV (typ) - prevents chatter during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |
| Delay Time | 200 µs (typ) - ensures reliable deassertion after stable supply is reached |
| Supply Range | 2 V to 17 V - supports wide-input systems including 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V rails |
| Output Type | Open-collector - allows flexible pull-up to any compatible voltage rail, including higher than VCC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-detecting reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB29DBZR | Fixed 2.93 V threshold; SOT-23-3 package; 140 ms delay; 0.9 µA quiescent current | Not adjustable; unsuitable where custom threshold or sub-ms delay required | Select when fixed threshold and ultra-low IQ outweigh programmability needs |
| MAX809SEUR+T | Fixed 3.08 V threshold; SOT-23-3; 240 ms delay; 12 µA IQ; push-pull output | Lacks external adjustability and open-collector flexibility; higher IQ than M51955BFP#CF0R | Choose only if board space is constrained and 3.08 V matches system requirement exactly |
Compared with TLV803EB29DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the M51955BFP#CF0R offers unique value in systems requiring field-configurable reset thresholds, sub-millisecond delays, and open-collector interfacing - all in a through-hole SIP package suited for prototyping and industrial assembly.

FAQ
What is the detection voltage accuracy of the M51955BFP#CF0R?
The M51955BFP#CF0R has a detection voltage of 1.25 V (typ) with ±0.05 V tolerance (1.20 V to 1.30 V) at 25°C. Its hysteresis is 15 mV (typ), and temperature coefficient is 0.01 %/°C - meaning total drift remains under ±15 mV across –30°C to +85°C. This ensures repeatable reset behavior in varying thermal environments without calibration.
Can the M51955BFP#CF0R be used with a 3.3 V supply rail?
Yes, the M51955BFP#CF0R operates reliably from 2 V to 17 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V systems. At VCC = 3.3 V, its circuit current is ~300 µA (typ), and the open-collector output can sink ≥4 mA while maintaining ≤0.4 V saturation - allowing direct interface to 3.3 V logic inputs with appropriate pull-up.
How do I calculate the external resistor values for a 4.5 V reset threshold using the M51955BFP#CF0R?
Use the formula VS ≈ 1.25 × (R1 + R2)/R2. For VS = 4.5 V, solve for R1/R2 = (4.5 / 1.25) – 1 = 2.6. Select R2 = 10 kΩ → R1 = 26 kΩ (standard E24 value: 27 kΩ yields 4.55 V). Confirm with input current error margin: at 100 nA, 27 kΩ adds only 2.7 mV - well within tolerance.
Is the M51955BFP#CF0R pin-compatible with other members of the M51955/M51956 family?
The M51955BFP#CF0R shares identical 5-pin SIP pinout with M51955AFP and M51955AL variants. However, M51956-series (H-reset type) and SOP-packaged versions (e.g., BFP vs. AL) differ in pin count and arrangement - only M51955x SIP variants are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in footprint and function.
Does the M51955BFP#CF0R require an external capacitor for delay functionality?
No. The M51955BFP#CF0R integrates a monolithic delay capacitor, providing a typical 200 µs reset pulse width without any external components. This distinguishes it from longer-delay variants like M51957/M51958, which require external Cd for configurable timing - simplifying BOM and layout for standard reset hold requirements.
