Supervisory Circuits are designed for dual voltage systems.

Intended for portable and battery powered systems, AS1910-15 series microprocessor supervisory circuits incorporate manual reset and watchdog functions. Models AS1913, AS1914 and AS1915 feature factory-trimmed thresholds to monitor primary voltage between 1.8-3.6 V and adjustable secondary voltage between 0.9-2.5 V. ICs consume only 5.8 Â-µA (typ) and have operating temperature range of -40...

LDO LED Driver regulates lighting for portable devices.

Designed for parallel connected LEDs, AS1101 features analog and PWM brightness control. It can drive 2 LEDs with up to 80 mA per LED, and shutdown control results in supply current drop to under 1 Â-µA. Designed for voltage drop of less than 150 mV, driver is suited to connect directly to Li-Ion batteries without dc/dc converter. LED current is programmable using external resistor, and IC...
