Product details
Overview
ZM33064CL from Zetex Semiconductors is a three-terminal under-voltage monitor IC designed for power-on reset and brownout detection in 5 V microprocessor systems. It features a precise 4.6 V threshold, 20 mV hysteresis, open-collector output sinking ≥10 mA, guaranteed operation from 1.0 V supply, and internal clamp diode for delay capacitor discharge.
For engineers reviewing the ZM33064CL datasheet, ZM33064CL pinout, ZM33064CL application, or ZM33064CL equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, hysteresis stability over temperature, sink current capability at low VCC, quiescent current (200 µA max), and TO92/SOT223/SO8 package compatibility with legacy and surface-mount designs.
Technical Context
The ZM33064CL integrates a precision bandgap voltage reference and comparator with built-in hysteresis to eliminate oscillation during supply ramp-up or brownout events. Its output remains low from power-on until VCC exceeds 4.61 V (rising threshold), then stays high until VCC drops below 4.59 V (falling threshold).
Operation is fully specified from −40 °C to +85 °C with propagation delay of 1.5 µs (RL = 10 kΩ) and output saturation voltage ≤0.4 V at 2 mA sink. The internal clamp diode enables simple RC-based reset timing without external components beyond the pull-up resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 4.6 V nominal; ensures reliable reset assertion for standard 5 V logic systems before invalid operation begins. |
| Hysteresis | 20 mV typical; prevents chatter during slow or noisy supply transitions near threshold. |
| Output Sink Current | 10 mA min at VCC = 4.0 V; drives standard TTL/CMOS reset inputs directly with single pull-up resistor. |
| Quiescent Current | 200 µA max at 5 V; enables use in battery-powered equipment without significant standby drain. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 6.5 V; supports valid reset generation even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 µs typical; provides fast response to supply collapse while avoiding false triggers from transient spikes. |
| Clamp Diode VF | 1.2 V typical at 10 mA; discharges external timing capacitor automatically, eliminating need for discrete discharge path. |
Pinout & Package
Available in TO92 (suffix C), SOT223 (suffix G), and SO8 (suffix N8) packages. This entry refers to the TO92 variant (ZM33064CL), with lead configuration matching standard Zetex TO92 outline: Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = Output (open-collector).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Supply Input (VCC) | Connects to monitored 5 V rail; device draws quiescent current here and compares against internal reference. |
| Pin 2 | Ground (GND) | Reference node for comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance return path for sink current. |
| Pin 3 | Open-Collector Output | Sinks current when VCC < 4.59 V; requires external pull-up to host system's reset domain voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generator | Guarantees low output from VCC = 1.0 V upward until threshold is crossed-no external timing components needed for basic POR. |
| Automatic brownout reset | Reasserts reset whenever supply dips below 4.59 V after initial power-up, protecting MPU from undervoltage execution. |
| Low standby current | 200 µA max at 5 V enables integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life. |
| Internal clamp diode | Discharges external RC timing capacitor automatically, simplifying delay circuit design and reducing BOM count. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +85 °C with <±5 mV threshold drift-suitable for automotive and industrial environments. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Power Monitoring | Industrial Control PLCs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 5 V supply rails in embedded microcontrollers where stable reset is required before code execution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Under-voltage detector providing active-low reset signal synchronized to supply ramp and collapse events. Use Value: Prevents CPU lockup or corrupted memory writes by ensuring reset remains asserted until VCC stabilizes above 4.61 V and stays high until drop below 4.59 V. | Use Scenario: Supervising auxiliary 5 V logic supplies in programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout protection element with hysteresis to reject noise-induced false resets on noisy 24 V DC-derived 5 V rails. Use Value: Maintains deterministic system behavior across temperature extremes (−40 °C to +85 °C) with <±5 mV threshold variation. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Battery-Powered Data Loggers |
Use Scenario: Reset supervision for microcontrollers in non-safety-critical body electronics (e.g., door modules, lighting controllers). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current voltage monitor enabling reliable startup after cold cranking (VBAT dip to ~6 V → 5 V rail collapse). Use Value: Operates down to 1.0 V input, allowing reset assertion even during severe brownout conditions common in 12 V automotive systems. | Use Scenario: Ensuring clean boot and shutdown sequencing in portable environmental sensors powered by Li-ion or alkaline cells. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supply supervisor with integrated clamp diode for programmable reset delay via external RC network. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete discharge transistor, reducing PCB area and component count while supporting configurable timeout (e.g., 100 ms–2 s). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar under-voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63 V threshold, 140 µA IQ, SOT23-3 package only, no internal clamp diode | Requires external discharge path for RC delay; tighter threshold tolerance (±1.5%) but narrower temp range (−40 °C to +85 °C same) | Preferred when minimal quiescent current and tight threshold tolerance outweigh need for integrated clamp diode. |
| TLV803EB33DBZR | 3.3 V fixed threshold, 0.5 µA IQ, SOT23-3, no hysteresis or clamp diode | Not suitable for 5 V systems without level-shifting; ultra-low IQ ideal for multi-year battery life but lacks ZM33064CL's brownout recovery hysteresis | Select only for 3.3 V domains requiring nanoscale standby current; not a functional substitute for 5 V monitoring. |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TLV803EB33DBZR, the ZM33064CL uniquely combines 4.6 V threshold, integrated clamp diode, and 20 mV hysteresis in through-hole (TO92) and surface-mount packages-enabling robust, component-minimal reset circuits for 5 V microprocessor systems without redesigning timing networks.

FAQ
What is the function of the internal clamp diode in the ZM33064CL?
The internal clamp diode connects between the output pin and VCC, allowing automatic discharge of an external RC timing capacitor when the output goes high. This eliminates the need for an external transistor or diode in delayed-reset configurations, simplifying circuit design and improving reliability by removing a potential failure point.
Can the ZM33064CL be used with a 3.3 V microprocessor reset input?
Yes-the open-collector output can be pulled up to 3.3 V using an external resistor. The output sink capability (≥10 mA) and low saturation voltage (<0.4 V at 2 mA) ensure compatible logic levels. However, the 4.6 V threshold remains fixed, so it monitors the 5 V supply-not the 3.3 V rail-making it appropriate only when reset timing correlates to the higher-voltage domain.
How does hysteresis improve system reliability in the ZM33064CL?
Hysteresis creates a 20 mV gap between rising (4.61 V) and falling (4.59 V) thresholds, preventing rapid toggling of the reset signal during slow or noisy supply transitions near the trip point. This avoids unintended processor resets or repeated reboots that could occur with a single-threshold detector under marginal power conditions.
Is the ZM33064CL RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-Zetex issued RoHS-compliant versions of the ZM33064 family prior to its acquisition. The TO92 (C), SOT223 (G), and SO8 (N8) variants meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and are halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Full compliance documentation is available upon request for Aetrix Electronics customers.
