About this manual

The document provides an overview of STMicroelectronics voltage detectors, which monitor system supply voltage and assert an output signal when it drops below a defined threshold. Key features include low current consumption, precise temperature-compensated references, and laser-programmed thresholds ranging from 1.6V to 6.0V in 100mV steps.
