Touchstone Semiconductor Announces Its Newest 0.65µW Voltage Detector with Dual Outputs

June 26, 2012

MILPITAS, Calif. – June 26, 2012 – Touchstone Semiconductor, a developer of high-performance, low power analog integrated circuit solutions, today announced the new TS12001 voltage detector, which combines a 0.58V reference and a resettable latched comparator in a single package.

The TS12001 operates from a single 0.65V to 2.5V power supply and consumes less than 1µA total supply current. This device produces a reset signal whenever the monitored voltage drops below an internally preset 0.78V threshold or below an external, resistor-programmable reset threshold voltage.

The TS12001’s internal comparator exhibits ±10mV of hysteresis for clean, chatter-free output switching. The … Read More → "Touchstone Semiconductor Announces Its Newest 0.65µW Voltage Detector with Dual Outputs"
