Product details
Overview
REAR56958BGSM#HC0 from Renesas Electronics is a voltage-detecting system reset IC with adjustable detection threshold (1.25 V typical), open-collector output, and external capacitor-controlled delay (1.6–7.0 ms at 0.01 μF). It operates across 2–17 V supply range, draws 360–540 μA quiescent current, and targets microcontroller power-on reset and brownout protection in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the REAR56958BGSM#HC0 datasheet, REAR56958BGSM#HC0 pinout, REAR56958BGSM#HC0 application, or REAR56958BGSM#HC0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable detection voltage via resistor divider, temperature-stable ±4% detection accuracy, wide operating temperature (−40 to +85 °C), and SOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The REAR56958BGSM#HC0 implements a precision bandgap reference (1.25 V ±4%) feeding a comparator with 9–23 mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during voltage transitions. Its internal constant-current source (−5 μA typical) charges an external capacitor on the Cd pin to generate a user-defined reset delay time.
It features an open-collector output stage capable of sinking up to 4 mA at 0.4 V saturation, supporting flexible pull-up configurations across 2–17 V logic domains. Input voltage is referenced to VCC (0.8 V to VCC − 0.3 V), enabling direct monitoring of regulated rails or divided supply voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Voltage | 1.25 V (typical), adjustable via external R1/R2 divider - sets reset trigger point for 2–15 V supply rails |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable detection threshold | Settable from 2 V to 15 V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-threshold ICs |
| Capacitor-programmable delay | Delay time scales linearly with Cd (td ≈ 0.34 × Cd(pF) μs) - enables precise reset timing without trimming |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2–17 V operation - supports single-supply designs from Li-ion battery (3.3 V) to 12 V industrial rails |
| Low input bias current | ≤500 nA at input pin - minimizes resistor-divider loading error and power loss |
| Stable over temperature | Detection voltage drift ≤0.01 %/°C - maintains accuracy across full −40 to +85 °C range |
Applications
| Microcontroller Power-On Reset | Battery Voltage Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Ensuring reliable initialization of 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers after power-up or brownout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System reset generator with programmable detection threshold and 1.6–7.0 ms delay to meet MCU reset timing requirements. Use Value: Prevents erratic startup by holding RESET active until VCC stabilizes above 2.66 V (TYP., set via R1/R2), with hysteresis avoiding chatter. | Use Scenario: Detecting end-of-life or low-voltage condition in 3–12 V battery-powered devices (e.g., portable meters, sensors). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage monitor triggering alert or shutdown when battery drops below configurable threshold. Use Value: Enables accurate 2–15 V detection range with ±4% accuracy, minimizing false triggers during load transients. |
| Waveform Shaping Circuit | Logic-Level Delay Generator |
Use Scenario: Converting noisy or slowly rising supply rails into clean, debounced digital reset signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input signal conditioner with built-in hysteresis and RC-based delay filtering. Use Value: Replaces discrete RC+Schmitt trigger circuits - reduces component count while improving timing consistency and temperature stability. | Use Scenario: Generating precise, repeatable delays (ms-scale) from logic pulses in timing-critical control subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monostable multivibrator with externally tunable pulse width via Cd capacitor. Use Value: Delivers 1.6–7.0 ms delay at 0.01 μF with <±20% variation - avoids crystal oscillator or microcontroller-based timing overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-detecting reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803DBZT | Fixed 3.08 V detection; no external resistor adjustment; SOT-23-3 package | Limited to single-rail systems requiring 3.08 V threshold; no delay tuning | Select when board space is critical and fixed threshold suffices |
| MAX809SEUR+T | Fixed 3.08 V detection; 240 ms min delay; SOT-23-3; higher quiescent current (10 μA) | Designed for longer reset hold times; not suitable for sub-10 ms delay needs | Select for legacy 3.3 V systems needing guaranteed minimum delay |
Compared with TLV803DBZT and MAX809SEUR+T, the REAR56958BGSM#HC0 offers unique adjustability of both detection voltage (2–15 V) and delay time (via Cd), making it optimal for multi-rail or custom-timing designs where fixed-threshold alternatives require redesign or compromise.

FAQ
What is the detection voltage accuracy of the REAR56958BGSM#HC0?
The REAR56958BGSM#HC0 has a typical detection voltage of 1.25 V with ±4% accuracy over temperature and supply voltage. This specification accounts for device-to-device variation and ensures consistent reset behavior across production units without requiring calibration. The hysteresis (9–23 mV) further improves noise immunity during voltage transitions.
How do I calculate the required resistor values to set a specific detection voltage with the REAR56958BGSM#HC0?
To set a target detection voltage (VDET), use the formula VDET ≈ 1.25 × (R1 + R2)/R2, where R1 connects between VCC and the Input pin (pin 2), and R2 connects between Input and GND. For example, to achieve 2.66 V, use R1 = 11.3 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ. Keep total resistance ≤1 MΩ to limit error from input bias current (≤500 nA).
What is the maximum allowable delay capacitor value for the REAR56958BGSM#HC0?
The REAR56958BGSM#HC0 supports delay capacitors from 4700 pF to 10 μF. Capacitors larger than 10 μF cause significant delay-time variation (e.g., 100 μF yields 16–70 s instead of nominal 34 s), reduced responsiveness to momentary dips, and inaccurate timing due to insufficient discharge. Always stay within the 4700 pF–10 μF range for predictable operation.
Can the REAR56958BGSM#HC0 monitor a voltage rail different from its own supply voltage?
Yes - the REAR56958BGSM#HC0 supports independent monitoring of a separate voltage rail via its Input pin (pin 2), provided the input voltage stays within −0.3 V to VCC − 0.3 V (for VCC ≤ 7 V) or −0.3 V to 6.7 V (for VCC > 7 V). This enables monitoring of higher or lower rails than VCC, such as detecting 12 V supply drop while powered from 5 V.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-collector output of the REAR56958BGSM#HC0?
For the REAR56958BGSM#HC0's open-collector output (pin 7), select a pull-up resistor RL so that sink current remains ≤4 mA at logic-low state. With VCC = 5 V and Vsat = 0.4 V, RL ≥ (5 − 0.4) V / 4 mA = 1.15 kΩ. A 10 kΩ resistor is commonly used for low-power applications; ensure RL does not exceed absolute max sink current (6 mA) under worst-case conditions.
