Product details
Overview
REAR56957BGSM#HC0 from Renesas Electronics is a voltage-detecting system reset IC with open-collector output (Type B), 1.25 V typical detection threshold, ±4% detection accuracy, 2–17 V supply range, and externally adjustable delay via capacitor (0.0047–10 µF). It serves as a precision reset supervisor in 3V microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 datasheet, REAR56957BGSM#HC0 pinout, REAR56957BGSM#HC0 application, or REAR56957BGSM#HC0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its L-reset behavior, low-threshold operating voltage (0.67 V min at RL = 2.2 kΩ), open-collector output compatibility with external pull-up, and temperature-stable detection voltage (±0.01%/°C TC).
Technical Context
The REAR56957BGSM#HC0 implements an internal bandgap reference (1.25 V) feeding a comparator with 15 mV typical hysteresis to prevent chatter during voltage transitions. Its delay timing is generated by charging an external capacitor (Cd) through a constant current source (−5 µA typ), yielding tpd ≈ 0.34 × Cd(pF) µs.
As a Type B variant, it features an open-collector output requiring an external pull-up resistor (RL), enabling flexible logic-level interfacing across 2–17 V domains. Input voltage is derived from a resistor divider on the monitored supply, with input current limited to 500 nA max to minimize divider error.
Key Specifications

| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Waveform Shaping for Control Signals |
|
Use Scenario: Ensures clean power-on reset for programmable logic controllers with multi-rail supplies (5V, 12V, 24V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent reset supervisor per rail; each REAR56957BGSM#HC0 monitors its assigned supply and asserts dedicated reset line. Use Value: Provides rail-specific reset timing with no cross-coupling; wide 2–17 V range accommodates auxiliary supplies without level-shifting. |
Use Scenario: Converts noisy or slow-rising control signals (e.g., from mechanical switches or sensors) into clean, debounced digital pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delay waveform generator; uses Cd pin to stretch input transitions into precise, jitter-free output pulses. Use Value: Replaces RC+Schmitt trigger circuits; delivers consistent 1.6–7.0 ms delay (Cd = 0.01 µF) with <10 µs propagation delay (tPHL). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-detecting reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV809E33DBZR | Fixed 3.3 V detection; no external resistor divider; SOT-23-3 package; no delay capacitor pin | Limited to single-voltage systems; unsuitable for adjustable thresholds or long delays | Choose when only 3.3 V reset is needed and board space is constrained |
| MAX6326UR29D3+ | 2.93 V fixed threshold; built-in 200 ms delay; no external Cd; 5-pin SOT-23 package | Provides factory-set delay; lacks user-adjustable timing or detection voltage | Choose for plug-and-play reset with guaranteed 200 ms hold time and no external components |
Compared with TLV809E33DBZR and MAX6326UR29D3+, the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 uniquely supports both adjustable detection voltage (2–15 V) and capacitor-scaled delay (ms to seconds) in a single 8-pin SOP, making it optimal for custom reset timing and multi-rail monitoring where flexibility outweighs component count minimization.

FAQ
What is the detection voltage accuracy of the REAR56957BGSM#HC0?
The REAR56957BGSM#HC0 has a detection voltage (VS) of 1.25 V (typical), with a tolerance of ±4% over temperature and supply variations. This accuracy applies to the internal 1.25 V reference; actual system detection voltage depends on resistor divider precision and input current error (≤500 nA), which must be accounted for in high-accuracy designs using the REAR56957BGSM#HC0.
How do I calculate the delay time for the REAR56957BGSM#HC0?
The delay time (tpd) of the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 is calculated as tpd ≈ 0.34 × Cd(pF) µs, where Cd is the external capacitor value in picofarads. For example, a 10 nF (10,000 pF) capacitor yields ~3.4 ms delay. The datasheet specifies Cd between 4700 pF and 10 µF; values outside this range risk timing inaccuracy or failure to respond to momentary dips, as documented for the REAR56957BGSM#HC0.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 to operate?
The REAR56957BGSM#HC0 can maintain valid reset assertion (low-state output) down to a supply voltage (VCC) of 0.67 V (minimum, RL = 2.2 kΩ) - referred to as its threshold operating voltage (VOPL). This allows the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 to assert reset reliably during deep brown-out conditions before the host MCU loses functionality, ensuring controlled shutdown.
Can the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 monitor a supply voltage higher than its own VCC?
No - the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 input (Pin 2) must remain within its specified input voltage range: −0.3 V to VCC for VCC ≤ 7 V, or −0.3 V to 7.0 V for VCC > 7 V. To monitor higher supplies (e.g., 12 V), a resistor divider must scale the voltage down to ≤7.0 V before applying it to Pin 2; the REAR56957BGSM#HC0 itself cannot tolerate direct connection to voltages exceeding these limits.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the REAR56957BGSM#HC0?
The REAR56957BGSM#HC0 has three NC (No Connection) pins: Pins 3, 5, and 8. These pins have no internal connection and must not be used for signal routing, grounding, or decoupling. They may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability - but tying them to any active node risks unintended coupling or EMI, and does not affect REAR56957BGSM#HC0 functionality.
