IMP Cuts Power With Dallas Semiconductor Compatible Microprocessor Supervisors; Current Drain Reduced
Over 60 Percent
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jun 17, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- IMP, Inc. (Nasdaq:IMPX) today announced an improved, low-power replacement
for the Dallas Semiconductor DS1233D and DS1233M microprocessor reset circuits.
Fabricated on IMP's advanced 0.8-micron CMOS process, the IMP1233D and IMP1233M have reduced operating current by 60 percent, 20 microamperes
at 5-volt operation and 15 microamperes at 3.6 volts.
Applications include cellular phones, set-top boxes, PDAs, embedded control systems, printers and single board computers
"By offering lower power versions of microprocessor supervisors originally available only from Dallas Semiconductor or Maxim Integrated Products, we
give buyers a more responsive source and engineers a superior product. IMP plans to have the widest supervisor product line, and the best delivery
schedules and volume pricing in the industry," said Barry Wiley, IMP Vice President ofMarketing, Sales and Applications. "Volume delivery schedules of
2 to 4 week from our North American distribution partner, Jaco Electronics, will be standard as we ramp production. In the Asia/Pacific and European
markets customers will see substantial delivery time and price improvements over Dallas Semiconductor on these new supervisors."
Product Features Maximum supply current is 20 microamperes at 5 volts or 15 microamperes at 3.6 volts. Compared to competitive devices available from
Dallas Semiconductor, IMP devices offer over 60 percent lower supply current. Threshold voltages are available for 5-, 3.3- and 3-volt systems.
The IMP1233 devices have an open-drain output structure with an on-chip pull-up resistor. No external components are needed. An active-low reset signal
is issued whenever the monitored supply voltage is below the reset threshold. After the supply voltage returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal
remains active for 350 milliseconds, allowing the power supply and system microprocessor to stabilize.
All devices operate over an operating temperature range of -40 degrees centigrade to +85 degrees centigrade.
