Available now from Alliance Semiconductor Corp is the ASM6300 CPU supervisory product family in tiny-footprint SC70 packaging. The new product family is available in a wide range of reset voltage and reset timing combinations that spawn 10 distinct products with 217 voltages and reset timing combinations per product. These products are low-power and cost effective CPU supervisory solutions addressing a wide range of applications in wireline and wireless telecomms, computer, consumer, industrial and medical markets.

'Based on the success of our first generation CPU supervisory products in the market, we are leveraging our experience in design and manufacturing engineering to offer the widest range of second generation low-power, low-voltage CPU supervisory solutions', said Samuel Leung, Director of Marketing, Analog and Mixed Signal Business Unit for Alliance.

'This series of CPU supervisors is addressing the application needs of new, smaller and more power efficient consumer electronics that will be introduced over the next few years'.

Designed in a submicron CMOS process, Alliance's CPU supervisors operate on power levels that are 20-40% less than other typical supervisory products currently available in the market.

Supervisor products provide system designers an easy and simple solution to monitoring and detecting problems related to power supply instability and provide them with an assured and safe system operation.

Production quantities are available now in all package options (3L SOT23, 3L SC70 and 4L SC70) and in both commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

Pricing for ASM6300 series starts at $0.45 per unit in large quantities.
